Sunrise, an apron, and blocks

IMG_0019S

SUNRISE

This was the gorgeous sunrise I enjoyed when I went out to let the animals outside.

This wonderful apron was in a squishy that came arrived in yesterday’s mail.  (We do get late mail).    Sally, my friend, made it and sent it as a surprise.   Everyone needs a ” Sally” friend.   After being down all week, it was a real ” pick me up”.   And the workmanship is quality beyond fault.   Thank you, Sally

Look at the pocket.   It looks like a flower pot.   And the words are so positive.    I just love it!   It is my “Special Occasion” apron.  Mother worked in the kitchen, then when it was time to sit with the guests, she would change into her special apron – which for her was often one of those frilly half aprons.

More quilt blocks

It would have been so helpful if the shop owners had come up with a one size block.   My various blocks were meant to be anywhere from an 8″ block to a 9″ block.   At this point, I’m not real sure how that will work.   For now, I’ll make the blocks and see how many of each I have.

I am feeling so much better that DH is getting a turn at feeling the bug.   It’s really difficult to not try to get right back in the swing of things, but remembering that people seem to get this twice in a month, is slowing me down a bit.

  1. What a beautiful apron! Sally sounds really special.
    Glad to see / hear that you’re feeling a bit better. Hope your DH feels better soon, AND that you don’t get this again.

    Love that sunrise and the apron! This was a nasty bug, I agree! It’s laid me low as well.
