Birdie Stitches - March Block

I told you I would be back.  I may even post tomorrow! 

First off, I would like to say how BORED I am right now.  This not working is the pits.  I have been trying to keep busy here at home.  You know - laundry, dishes, vacuuming... general picking up the house.  But you can only do that for so long.  I've been wanting to go to the library and drop off the books that I've collected from Amelia's room and from around the house to donate to their book sale but I've been too lazy to get in the car and drive.  I've been wanting to go to my LQS to spend the gift certificate that my team gifted me before I left but I feel guilty spending the money.  So here I sit.  Sewing projects have been worked on but again, I feel guilty staying in my sewing room all day while my husband works.  I'm waiting for the weather to warm up so that I can at least get outside.  The sun is actually shining today but it's COLD. I don't want to work in the garden with a heavy winter coat on.

Okay, enough whining out of me.  Here's what I've finished....

I added that little pot of gold.  The block just needed it
January - March blocks
I'm getting better with my stitch length.  Just a tad.  I tend to get off-kilter when I'm tired but the blocks are coming along.  I'll be starting the April block this week sometime.  I have my border fabrics picked out.  Should be a cute block once I'm done.

I'll be back tomorrow to show some more progress being made here.

Enjoy your day!
Jen

  2. darling block! guilt is the worst, isn't it? How about using this time home to make a special quilt for your hubby to show him how much you appreciate him? That's what I am going to do now that my hubby is travelling again. just a thought

  8. No need to be bored...you just need to redirect mind set and keep occupied. How many times were you at work wanting to be home quilting? :-)

  10. Oh those blocks are sweet! I really love this project. I'm sorry you've been bored...but things will work themselves out, I'm sure! It's probably just culture shock. Hang in there!
