Feeling Pinkish!

Good morning, friends.
Thank you so much for your kind responses and understanding messages regarding yesterday's post over how I've been feeling regarding my sew-jo over the past few weeks.
One of my friends commented saying that she had to shake things up and dive into something new to respark her drive.
And that is just the ticket that I needed.  Instead of facing more of the "same blocks" that are laid out on my QPO studio floor, and knowing that I'd be "Home Alone" ast evening, I brought home my overflowing pink string bucket and just started to string piece on foundations.

Pink feels happy to me.

I've been thinking a lot about incorporating more pink into a quilt ever since I finished  the little Bloom stitchery quilt that is coming to Australia as our workshop project in January.

Winter can be grey and dreary and pink just makes me feel better right now.

Evidently it makes Lola feel pretty good, too!

String piecing on phonebook page foundations.

I simply settled into my basement studio, lit a fragrant candle, turned on Netflix to binge watch some movies.

One I found really cute and entertaining is a British flick called Bank of Dave.  If you are looking for a feel good and fun watch, I highly recommend it.

I trimmed my panels, cut them into triangles...I'm loving how they are looking!

The only downside?  I've already done all the pink ones I need and I'll need to plan on another evening of string piecing while "Home Alone" with another color.

I have a plan.  It will unfold in due time.

And yes, I'll still settle into the red/neutral.  Maybe this afternoon.

But now I have a HOME project to look forward to.

There will be something for those "Snow Day Sew Day" days where I stay home all cozy this winter.

Something to look forward to.

And yes - there is still hand quilting of Parade Day happening in the evenings when I'm not home alone and we are sharing some together time.

Lola was still in the bin this morning, sunlight on her face!

Little does she know that this bin is going back to the QPO with me this morning and will be swapped out for another color.

She'll adjust.

Folks are asking WHAT TIME Part One of Old Town will be posted. Usually between 9 and 10 am Eastern is when I've been getting posts out.

I know you are excited, but rest! Sleep in a bit.  It will be here about the normal blog posting time.

And I'm so excited to kick this off!

Your excitement over Moonflower has blown my mind!  Thank you so much!

It was so fun to make, and I can just imagine it in so many different color plans -

I'll be drawing for 2 winners who will each receive a Moonflower PDF pattern from me, and a Moonflower cotton roll from  Cotton to Quilts.

And don't forget to check out their neutral rolls as well - I love the variety in these cotton rolls!

We'll be drawing for those winners on Monday, 11/25/24.

And since we are headed into the holidays (And holiday sewing as well!)

I've also placed a 25% discount on Pine Tree Point. Price good through 12/15/24.

This quilt reminds me of all of the Christmas Tree trucks I see daily - pulling their tree harvest up and down these mountain roads, eventually to wind up in people's homes to become Christmas memories.

If you have one started from last year - why not pull it out and get going on it again? It's the perfect time!

I think that covers it for this morning!

Quiltville Quote of the Day -
