Has it Really Been Four Months? from The Modern Diary

My sewing mojo has not been there for awhile. I did not realize I had not posted since July though! I really did not do much sewing all summer and into fall. I have mostly been solo board gaming and reading. My health improved a titch in May (like it did last year, though it tanked again in the fall last year) so I was able to be upright more and I spent as much time outside playing games as possible. I think the vitamin D helped too.

Here are some of the blocks I did manage to get done ...

Catching You Up! Sewing, Health, Gaming, In Hand Games from The Modern Diary

I have not been doing much sewing lately as life has been hectic. My fatigue had improved a bit, then got worse again and so sewing goes by the wayside as I try to get more rest. I cannot recall if I shared these snowmen which I sewed on two different days I did get in here. One to go before I can assemble it into a cute wall hanging. I just love snowmen!

This is Cascadia above. In this picture I am playing it solo with an AI, just as fun as having a partner.
I have been gaming ...

May is Pink! from The Modern Diary

I finished my blocks for Princess Crown #2 and was so excited I started sewing them together. About three fourths of the way through I realized I had forgotten to add the already cut sashing and cornerstones! I decided to just keep on keeping on and cut another whole quilt to use the sashing and cornerstones in.

I am loving my Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmers for trimming up all the hst's for the A Quilting Life BOM/Rainbow Scrap Challenge block. Here are my pink blocks for May. Linking up with Angela .

Hodpodge! from The Modern Diary

On Easter we went to Hannah and Jeremy's. I got a semi good picture of Hazel and I...she tends to not want to pose when I have makeup on! We played Doomlings while the kids napped which was fun.

I got a picture of my Friends All Around quilt outside finally.

I sewed with Becky and Barb last Thursday and Becky was working on her Merry Mayhem mystery from NYD #148 so Barb and I were trying to find ours on the blog and I realized neither made it there. So here is my finished (back in January ...

Indigo Way is a Flimsy, a Wedding, and my RSC! from The Modern Diary

I am all caught up on A Quilting Life's BOM and my Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2024. I went back and made a second January block in green and then made two blocks in purple for March. Loving these scrappy blocks!

For Christmas Becky sent me a Halloween table runner. It arrived in early February I think, but accidentally went to our old Milwaukee address. The people there took it in their house and their dog got to the package. They thought it was not damaged, but one green square was ripped apart. I did not want to mention it ...

Game Day Mystery and More! from The Modern Diary

Today I sewed online with BJ and Barb. Here is my Game Day Mystery from Cuts and Bolts Facebook group

Here is Barb's. BJ is making a larger one so no picture yet.

In between clues I worked on my Secret Agent mystery. I had pinned everything very carefully and so it was easy to sew things up acurately. The reveal is this Friday, I cannot wait! I am loving that we are starting to see the transparency happening here!

I even had enough time to recut, pin, and resew my X-ray block. If you look carefully you can ...

Nita Seamripper Strikes Again! from The Modern Diary

Agent Nita Seamripper here. Clue three from the Secret Agent Quiltalong is done. Somehow I cut one wrong fabric, one wrong size in that fabric and forgot to cut one thing. It is all fixed now and hopefully works out so that I do not run out of the miscut color!

Here is my fabric for the Cuts and Bolts Game Day (Superbowl Sunday) mystery quilt. Sadly, the Packers are out so I am free to sew.

Today, after getting a cut and color--badly needed, I cut out and sewed the stuff for that mystery.

Yesterday I did my first ...
