Yes, I'm still here. I just haven't had time to post anything. I'm feeling alot better now and I'm so glad! However, now my husband is sick and believe me, he's a far worst patient than I was....He's kept me hopping too. I did not have a restful holiday and it's not any better yet. Hopefully, by this weekend he'll be better and life will get back to normal a little.
I was able to sew a little bit Saturday. I got the first block done of Barbara Brackmen's new Block of the Week. The BOW is published again this year on Saturday's. These are 8 1/2" blocks (8" finished) and you can click on the side of my blog to get there. Look at the big badge called Grandmother's Choice. I think she said there will be 49 blocks. Here's my first block...this one is appropriately named Grandmother's Choice.
I also did 8 blocks for my scrap quilt. I started these disappearing 4 patches with the Rainbow challenge earlier in the year. I've fallen behind on these but I'm playing catch up now. I did some blue blocks, some teal blocks and some plaid blocks. I cut out some orange which is this month's color but didn't get to them yet. I also started working on my monthly 9 patches and just sewed the strips together. I haven't finished them yet.
Sunday and Monday, I did the buttonhole stitch around some butterfly blocks for my MIL. She made 20 blocks. She is reproducing a quilt that she received when she was 16 years old. She is in her mid 80's now and has a new bed and wanted a new quilt for it. So, she decided to make this butterfly quilt. I'll give these blocks back to her and she'll put them together. I don't know what sashing or any other fabric she'll be using. When she gets it together, I'll show you again as I'll be quilting it for her.
My machine is finally all together and ready. I'll be putting the first quilt on it Saturday. I haven't been home long enough this week to play with it yet. Tomorrow night, I'll be going to sew and visit with my friends at the church so Saturday will be the first chance I get to do it. I hope you have a good Friday and a great weekend. Til next time, happy sewing!

Looks like you're getting back into the swing of things. Your MIL's quilt is going to be lovely. What great memories it must bring back for her
You have some wonderful blocks here! Especially love the second set. Well done!
I like your fabric in the Grandmother's Choice block. Also, like the disappearing 4-patch blocki.
Your mother-in-law's vintage butterflies are perfect.

Glad you are feeling better. It is no fun to be sick. Like all the projects you are working on. It is good to get back to sewing.
So glad you are feeling better - and I can't wait to see your new machine up and running!
Your grandmother's choice block looks great. Glad you are feeling better. Enjoy your quilting time.
