Farm Girl Fridays Baking Day Block

Good morning! Today is the Farm Girl Friday Sew Along from Lori Holt's book Farm Girl Vintage. I sewed this morning at 2 AM because I could not sleep. I just can't lay in bed and start thinking about things because I always go to the worst case scenario. I'd love to be all positive and sunny but I don't think it's going to happen soon. Do you ever have trouble sleeping? What do you do for that? Anyway, I got up and made the Baking Day blocks. Not the best idea to cut and sew in the middle of the night! Here's the 12" block:



and here's the 6" Baking Day block:



I added the rick rack because by 3 AM I thought it was a brilliant idea-hahahaha. So today I have errands to run which means I have to take a shower and all that good stuff because I will be around people. I'm also going to try to get that yellow quilt finished. I'm going to try doing that two-color binding that makes it look like there's piping. I just don't want put any more time in this than I have to. I never intended to spend this much time on it and I'm not going to make any money on it even if I sell it. So that's my Friday. What are you going to do? Hope you have a great day! XO from Bev

Apron Strings Block - See! I Did Accomplish Something Today!

It's Sunday afternoon and I'm looking at all the things I should be doing...sigh. Why am I not more productive? But then, when I think about it, why am I not thin? Why am I not rich? It is a mystery. Ah well, I did a little 6 inch Apron Strings block from the Farm Girls Fridays Sew Along. I love this block! It's so cute. But every time I make it, I mess up...not enough to re-do it but enough that I see it. 
I'm using bitty scraps from fabrics I've sold in the shop. A fun block.  Lola and I are going to take a nap. It's a really nice, mellow day. Hope your Sunday has been good too! Love you guys! XO from Bev
