This last week after having surgery, I've spent quite a bit of time on the couch. I have to confess, I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to pain. I know, can you believe it?!? The mama with 6 kiddos is a complete wimp. Ha!! Too funny, I know.... but this last week having something to keep my mind occupied...pretty fabrics and a new English paper piecing set to work on has sure helped! I have to say my dear hubby has been the biggest help too. I don't know what I would do without him!
The new English paper piecing set I've worked on is using
Jewels, 1 inch hexagons and then 2 inch diamonds. My dear friend
Heather made a lovely pillow for the
Pillow Talk Swap out of these, and I'd been itching to try my hand at it ever since!! I'm thinking of making a nice size wall hanging out of them.
Don't they look pretty with all the new spring blossoms!! Spring is one
of my favorite times of year just because of all the lovely scented
spring blossoms!!
Most the fabrics are from Leciens Old New collection that will be coming out
this month. I can't wait to see it on the bolt!! It will truly be like
Christmas opening those boxes from Lecien!! :)
After staying inside for an entire week, I had a bit of cabin fever. So I had to get one ready to take to the pool to work on while I watched the kiddos swim. It was sure nice getting out of the house!
Today I'll be taking it easy again so I don't over due it. I seem to do that too. The joys of getting stir crazy. :)
Those blocks are super pretty! Take it easy and don't over due. I get a bit stir crazy when I have to rest like that so I understand your cabin fever!
ReplyDeleteThey are just beautiful!! I hope you recover quickly :)
ReplyDeleteThe blocks look beautiful. Hope your recovery is quick and as painless as possible :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteLOL if you didn't have such a sweet husband, you wouldn't have 6 kids. He, he, he.
I at first thought it was the umbrella :)
ReplyDeleteKerri! Gee I'm so sorry to year you needed such drastic medical attention. Hope everything is well.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE your diamond blocks! Can't wait to see what you do with them. :)
Feel better soon. Love the blocks. xx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blocks. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteI love your adorable little pin cushion!
These are gorgeous Kerri! Hope you are recovering quickly from your surgery? :)
ReplyDeleteI sympathise completely with the stir-craziness.
I'm also recovering from my hand surgery last week and horrors! I can't sew! I'm a little jealous you're able to while away some hours stitching. My fingers are itching to sew something! I have to content myself with reading blogs and typing one-handed comments :)
THEY are ADORABLE!!! i just love THOSE babies!!
ReplyDeletehope you feel better soon my lady friend!!
xoxoxo, H
Lovely, glad to hear you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy recovery. Sometimes it's nice just to sit back and do some hand sewing. I never used to appreciate or enjoy it, but the older I get, the more I like it. Your paper pieced hexies are gorgeous, BTW. Love them.
ReplyDeleteI hope your recovery goes by quickly!! These sweet blocks are adorable, and I can't wait to see the wall hanging. I love the fabric!! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you needed surgery Kerri, I also hope your recovery is swift and worry free. Definitely rest well! Love the little diamond blocks you are making. And I'm going to be prowling your shop for the delivery of those Lecien fabrics for sure! Take care.
ReplyDeleteHello sweet Kerri! Thank you for visiting me and for your sweet comment! It is lovely to meet you! I am so sorry you had to have surgery sweetie! I pray you feel better soon! I am so glad you have a good hubby to help you! You truly must rest and take good care of yourself! I love your blocks! They are so pretty and the fabrics are gorgeous! Your photos are lovely too! I am glad you could get out of the house, but be careful not to overdo! I am like that too, so I know how hard it is! Sewing is a really good thing because we can do something while we are sitting down! Much love, Paula xo
