Having A Mental Health Day

I don't know what you guys call it, but around here it's a MHD (see title post) and I was waaaay overdue!
I was gonna be all good and do some house stuff, sorting cupboards etc...but nah I sewed YAY!!!


 Bee blocks as requested by Diana for Compass Quilters


Sooo much fun and easy as....I'm sure I say that every month


Tutorial is here and here's a quick pic side by side to get an idea of how they'll all look together...super happy and fizzy!


I also joined the Amy Butler Aussie Charm Swap run by the lovely Ms Midge aka Melissa and these are the two fabrics I chose


Love Cypress Paisley in Lime and Soul Blossoms Peacock Feathers in Blush....love the feathers so super glad I bought extra....not so happy that I found that I already had a WHOLE yard of the Paisley already in my ridiculously untidy stash.....crap!

Arrived, cut and posted off all in the same day.So I treated myself to a new project..


I used my 22.5 degree wedge ruler and cut 4" strips from a bunch of Nouvelle fabrics, threw in a few extras and cut up 256 tumblers


It came together really quickly and although the photos are a bit crappy it's a lovely mix of denim and pink with only a couple of matches that I try not to look directly at....damn OCD

Little OWB has already said it's hers and I'm thinking it may just be the right size for a lapquilt while reading on the powder blue sofa in her room


Must buy more Chicopee...it goes with everything!

  2. You had a very productive Mental Health Day!! Besides, why not sew?! Doing housework isn't really stress relief, it's more work! ;)

  5. Hahaha - I have bought fabrics that I already have in my stash also... I figure I must really like it and need that much if I've bought it twice! Cute blocks and tumbler finish

  11. I have Diana's blocks as the first on my to-do list. It will be the first time I turn my sewing machine on in a month so I am happy to hear they are EASY!
    Love the tumblers and can see them on the blue sofa.
