Civil War Love Letters - Day 1!

Wow! At least my hard days work was worth it yesterday and I even tidied my sewing room.

Today, I could sew in peace and got into the swing of foundation piecing again - I shouldn't be showing off yet, but like Kristie, I just love doing these blocks. I haven't taken the papers off yet, not sure I should do at this stage and I think perhaps I have gone a bit pretty and bright. All fabrics are repro, not necessarily Civil War, as I really don't want a drab quilt.

I have printed out several blocks to start sewing tomorrow morning, all being well! They are a little more complicated, so maybe these blocks here are just auditioning and won't go any further.

It has been very cold here today with beautiful sunshine - so lovely after our stormy weather. I am looking forward to a quiet evening in front of tele with needle or hook in hand.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend - best wishes!
