Back to my machine



I've had a yucky couple of weeks feeling pretty unwell with sinusitus, earache and tonsillitus. I even had to spend five days flat out on the settee just watching dvd's with no energy for anything more. Even this last week I've still felt pretty rough- not helped at all by the cold and the horrid lack of reasonable heating at work-I've been going to bed at 8pm (three times) and even 6.30pm (twice) because I'm just exhausted and ache so much. So today I'm so glad I finally have had enough energy to feel like getting my sewing machine back out... and oh, how I've missed it!
That simple joy of losing yourself in the task of sewing together even the simplest of quilt blocks... it makes me feel so much better. I don't have a clue how I will use the blocks yet but I'm sure the bright colours will make a cheerful quilt.

Possibly the new blocks will go with some black ones I made a few weeks ago. After I press them I think I'll have to try laying them out on the floor to see if I can make it work. I really don't know if they will go together but will play around with them both to see what to do next.



Anyway I need some sleep so until next time
