Mindless sewing...................


As I was cleaning off the sewing table, I decided to sew some 9 patches from the 1.5" squares that aren't suitable for colorwash.




l knew I had some the same size (in a project box) that I sewed last year.  Now I see I have sewn 2 different kinds.  This batch with 5 dark squares has 44 blocks in it.  I will probably press the 8 new blocks and put them with the 44, back into the project box for now.

I had other tasks during the day, packing a box to ship and running a couple errands.

    Interesting that you made the other version of 9-patches. I almost always make the dark cornered version when just sewing left overs together.

    Sometimes mindless sewing is just what we need.

    I have one of those batiks! (The sort of green check.) I'm glad I bought a lot (how long ago? LOL) because I've used it often.

    sometimes I don't even get to the mindless sewing stage in the day

    Mindless sewing usually calms me down--lately any sewing at all has been hurting my hands...so I am tabling any fabric works for a bit...I spent the morning re-organizing and setting up my paper crafting corner so I can find my "happy place" there for a while...
    I need a good, long rest from fabric manipulations ...sad to say..but maybe that will do the trick for me...[soon to be 83 year old hands and fingers of a pianist have worked a whole lot....]
    55 coolish degrees here--awaiting the promised rain, but so far just clouds....
    hugs, Julierose
