Obligations.....

Sometimes, I wonder if I'll get my sewing ambition back.  Lately, it seems to have flown out the window!  I've noticed though that Flickr is somewhat barren so perhaps lots of other sewers are feeling the same way as me.  In view of this, I figured I might as well get my sewing obligations out of the way while I'm waiting for my creativity to return.  I promised lots of things so here they are:

First, I told a friend that I'd make two house blocks for her.  She will incorporate them into a big quilt.  Each ended up at 12 1/2 inches square:





Then, I promised another friend that I'd do the same for her, except she wanted improv blocks in neutral colors with only splashes of specific colors thrown in:

I had so much fun with those, I'm thinking of making my "mother-to-be niece" a baby floor quilt using that method.  She's having a boy in July and lives in Florida.

Then, I received my mug rug from "scrapnchick" (Jeanette) and love it!  She really nailed my likes in this one.  Isn't it pretty?



And finally, I have been super busy with my bitty blocks (which I will show you next time.)  Here is a peek though of all the fun I'm having:



Oh.....AND.......if you're wondering what I'm (we're) going to do about a puppy......who knows?  My mojo has left about that situation too for now.....(which is a good thing, I'm thinking).  In fact, I think I'm going to tell that breeder with the little black and white boy that now is not a good time.  I figure when the right time comes along, I'll know it......AND.....if not, that's okay too!  Life's too short to worry about stuff like that!

Enjoy your holiday, my friends!  I'll be back next week!
