Pieces of life

Two weeks since my last post....and it has not been ordinary weeks. We came back home from our little trip on Thursday. Since Friday my mother has been in hospital with heart problems....
A lot of worrying....she´s still in hospital....I´m sure she will recover and life will go back to normal again....
But there will be a couple of weeks before this journey is over. That means less time in my studio because I have to look after her cat every day (he´s so cute....but lives half an hour away....two hours on the road for me) and of course visit her in the hospital.

This is why it´s two weeks since my last post, but I have done a lot of sewing too. If I´m totally honest it´s the housework that´s not done. Can´t resist quilting....

Ten blocks are finished, some of them paper pieced.

It has been a lot of fun......

....and a lot of pieces

I think I´m very satisfied with the result!

I will use these blocks for decoration in my studio. Therefore I added letters on them.

Next step is blanket stitches on the letters....

....a thin grey border on each block....

.....then hand quilting.

The last step will be a red binding to match my little logo butterfly.

Here he is on a quilt. I´m gonna make another copy of him on masonite for this studio decoration. Photos will come......

I will be back soon, lots to show, but now it´s time to get dressed and leave for the cat.... Maybe (??!!) he´s hungry....
