Thursday Therapy

Thursday Therapy – Big and Small!

Slowly but surely I am getting caught up on the goal of completing a block for my aqua and red 2014 sampler quilt every week. Right now I am only 5 blocks (5 weeks) behind. I got two wee (6″ blocks) done… Little appliqued hexie flower: Wee scrappy trip-along: And then a giant (24″) Carpenter’sContinue reading “Thursday Therapy – Big and Small!”

Thursday Therapy is Everyday! (vol. 2)

I have developed something I call “Sewer’s Hip”. I hurt my hip in a spin class a few weeks ago and it has been exacerbated by my sewing chair / pedal foot position. It has resulted in me sort of lurching when I stand up and start walking. It got pretty bad… painful and embarrassing.Continue reading “Thursday Therapy is Everyday! (vol. 2)”

Thursday Therapy is Everyday!

I have been a terrible blogger, blah, blah, blah…. But here are some of the blocks I have made for my red, aqua, gold, and a bit of pink quilt… My Slash Gordon block – original design, I guess… The Aurifil February block of the month… with a little modification in the sizeContinue reading “Thursday Therapy is Everyday!”

Thursday Therapy: Gift Boxes

Today is a two-fer. I missed posting last week – I didn’t miss sewing, I just missed posting. Last week I made this little beauty – the super versatile gift box block pattern from Shape Workshop.

I drifted off dreaming of those dreamy fabrics. But I made a committment to myself to clean my closet today. And I did. But after thatContinue reading “Thursday Therapy: Framed Windmill”

Thursday Therapy: Who Wore It Better?

I have been recreating some of the blocks I have created for Thursday Therapy in my color crush colors – and I think I am going to abandon the old color palette for this new color palette for my weekly blocks… what do you think – who wore it better – scrappy brights or grown-upContinue reading “Thursday Therapy: Who Wore It Better?”

Thursday Therapy: Three in the Breeze

I really needed some therapy tonight. I got really bad news at work today. I am frazzled and sad. But I didn’t realize how much until I was about 1/2 way through this block and I started crying. Messy, heavy gasp crying. You know, the good stuff? I had kept it together all day. AndContinue reading “Thursday Therapy: Three in the Breeze”

I bought this lovely book with a gift card I received for Christmas. It really has lots of wonderful patterns in it – and I have been thinking about working on a sampler quilt to build my skill. So on Thursdays, I am going to do a little patchwork therapy for myself – and inContinue reading “Thursday Therapy”
