How can a person can be so busy and feel like there is no time each day to fit things in? That is how I feel lately. The last two weeks have flown but I have not done much sewing at all. I did get one more block done for a quilt I really, really, really need to get done.
I also finished this block from Buttermilk Basin's free BOM. Oh, and I am way behind on this one now. Oh well.
While my in-laws were staying with us crocheting was the easiest thing to pick up and work on when I had a spare minute in the evening. There are several crochet alongs going on right now. This is one is from facebook group I have joined.
These little mandalas will be part of a summertime shawl. I found this fun variegated yarn at a shop in a nearby town. I have blocked all of them for each week that has come out so far. Now to work on week 6 blocks. I am using white yarn to put them all together but those instructions have not come out yet.
So my goal is to get the last quilt block made and put the top together. Wish me luck.
Until next time,
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Such a pretty block! I think you are making a lovely shawl :0)
Your block is looking nice and the crochet mini mandalas too:) I know what you mean busy yet not having time to achieve. But we always tend to be wanting to do more. When we craft more, we feel certain household things are falling behind and when we do the chores we are sad that no sewing could be done. Everything cannot be done in the given time, I am learning to ignore what cannot be done.
your block looks lovely, sometimes we can get very time poor.
loving your crochet manadals, such pretty yarn too.
hope you manage the things you want to get done.
That is going to be a stunning shawl! Summer is Ohio is a wash-out, literally. Hope you get your quilt done since it really, really, really needs to get finished. :o)
Seems like you are achieving quite a bit from over here. How many mandalas do you need?
Good luck, love your mandalas! You're one busy gal; it's always fun to see what you've been up to.
Love your block. Perfect colors too. I know you will get that quilt done in time. Your crochet little mandalas are so cute. That is a good use of small quantities of yarn. Looks to me you are getting lots done.
Pretty block and your crocheting looks lovely !
The block you made is so pretty! Love the fabrics.
Your summer shawl will look gorgeous when you finish it!
Good luck with your deadline!
I haven't made any of the Buttermilk Basin designs so you are way ahead of me!
Another pretty quilt block. You are a perfect piecer, Carrie.
I love to crochet but it has taken a backseat to sewing since I fell in love with quilting. I did make the granny stripe afghan Stephanie (Rummage...f/k/a Loft Creations) featured on her blog a while ago. I look forward to seeing the shawl.
I hear you! Time just flies by and while I am doing lots, I still feel like there is so much to do. Your crochet mandalas are lovely-- I can totally envision them all connected with white. It is going to be gorgeous!
Your shawl is going to be gorgeous. Love your block too.
