I hope you are well, mentally and physically.  We are living in strange times, amiright?  BUT we’ve got the best hobby in the world if you are someone at home with time off in front of you and sewing happens to be one of the most therapeutic things to do in my opinion.  So set the mood by lighting a candle, turning some nice relaxing music on and taking a deep breath.  Now you’re ready!  Sew, sew, sew.

 



 

This Week’s Task

This week, we’ll be working on section #4.  It’s the Fading Light Stars.  I LOVE this block.  I must, I’ve used it in two different quilt patterns.  Those little hourglasses are so cool.  I want a whole quilt of them.  Anyway!  We’ve got four of these babies to make.  Let’s do it!
