Progress

Oh, the perils of wintertime. I am getting over an illness that I got from my grandson. While I was taking care of him 1 1/2 weeks ago he was running a fever. Poor thing! Two days later I got what he had which put me out of commission for a while. I spent three days in my chair wrapped up in my rag quilt.

As I began to feel better I worked on this mystery crochet along from Look at what I made.
I finished appliqueing this block from a sew along on Jeni's blog from the Willow.

Then I began to feel like getting out of my chair and cut out pieces for this sew along from JacqulynneSteves.com
 Modern Quilt Therapy is meeting again this year. I missed the first meeting. We are doing another BOM. This is my version of the first block.
 This is the next block I will make.
 Back to normal with just a few sniffles. I plan to work on sewing some blocks today. I hope this is the last time I get sick this year!

With Passion,
Carrie P.

    I am glad you are feeling better. When my kids were little, I never got sick but now I get everything that comes around and it gets harder to fight it. Looks like you are getting back into quilting again and making some beautiful pieces.

    Sorry you've been sick, Carrie. The little ones will do it to you! Your crochet block is stunning! I marvel at how you can work on many projects at once! They're all beautiful!

    I hope you are fully on the mend soon! My DH is an elementary teacher and he pretty much has a cold for most of the fall. I've finally convinced him to try taking vitamins as that is the only thing that we do differently and I rarely catch his colds. Or I'm just lucky I guess!

    I've never seen such intricate crochet - wow! It's stunning.

    I'm sorry to hear you've been unwell but pleased you are back on your feet again. I didn't believe the first photo was of crochet until I read along - looking great! I do like your other blocks too - it does look like you are making up for lost time!

    I'm sorry that you've been sick. Wrapping yourself up in a comfort quilt helps so much, doesn't it? Wow, that's a complicated crocheted block-I'm impressed. I love your modern block and the fabrics that you chose. Nice colors!

    You certainly are productive; even from the sick bed! Your blocks are just lovely, so crisp and fresh! Take good care; how's the shoulder healing?
