Back in the Saddle....er....Back at the Sewing Machine Again!

I'm so happy to get back to sewing! I cut out 3 of the little strawberry blocks I wrote about last time and almost have them all together. But, I had previously cut some Great Granny Squares out from the green and yellow cheater fabric by Lori Holt. They were sitting right by the machine so I stitched up two of them.

My camera kind of washes out the color. It's lots prettier in person. I just love the patchwork cheater fabric! You can cut tons of squares from it!

Here's the fabric I'm talking about. You can cut 4 2.5" squares from each square in this fabric.

 I'm going to use the fabric with dresses for the border. Here's that fabric:

I think it will make a really cute quilt for one of the granddaughters. I call this green "Lori Holt Green" because she uses it so much in the fabrics she designs. It was so much fun to sew again yesterday! Today I have to write two articles about rental management issues for work. I have to make some money! But, if I get finished before it's too late, I'm going to try to get the strawberry blocks finished. I messed up on one of them but I'm going to use it anyway. I have no desire to be a perfectionist any more! I'm just in it for the fun! Hope ya'll are having a safe and happy holiday weekend! What are you sewing on? Cheery wave from Bev
