Weeks Of No Blogging Catchup

 Hello, quilty friends! It’s been weeks since my last post. Life in Podunk is just fine, I’ve simply been suffering from a severe case of “can’t-be-bothered-to-type-itis.” Thank you to everyone who checked in to make sure I hadn’t been buried under a huge pile of fabric. Honestly, I didn’t realize my last post was over a month ago! From now on, during my bouts of type-itis, I’ll drop by at least once a week. Expect a few photos and minimal chatter, just enough to confirm the UFOs haven’t abducted me… yet. HAHA!  

A lot has happened over the past month, but for today’s blog post, I’m focusing on the most recent happenings. I’ve been making steady progress on the mini Cake Stand quilt blocks, and this stack of design boards with blocks ready to be sewn has been sitting here for about two weeks. The pile has shrunk a bit, but not by much.

The quilt needs a little over 150 cake stand blocks and slightly fewer for the alternating blocks. It will finish at over 90 inches, though I can’t recall the exact measurement off the top of my head—it’s written down somewhere in the sewing room.  Anyway...here's what I've finished so far.

Tiny blocks always bring a grin to my face.  Working with scraps can be quite the workout but it brings me so much joy to remember the quilts that made these scraps. It's hard to believe that after quilting since 1987—38 years!—every single quilt still makes my little old heart do a happy dance.

More about the last month’s fabric adventures coming soon!
