Cute as a button :-)

First off I want to say I have turned the corner and I am able to sew and even cut now so life is good :-)  I am way behind on my BOM's but today I thought I would do the August block for Aurifil since the end of the month is so close . This month is a cute little button block
You know I love doing Bom's , it gives me a chance to try out different blocks and challenge myself to go out side the box at times . This block is really cute but I would never make a whole quilt using this block , pretty fiddly but the results are fun and it will look great with the other blocks for this quilt. The other really postitive thing about participating in these events is using up fabrics that may have been around too long .
 I have been working on my Goodnight Irene quilt and have all the rows sewn together now and am presently working on the border blocks , have them made just need to sew them together , yeah , the light at the end of this tunnel is getting closer.  Some members of our guild are making quilts for the veterans unit and this quilt will eventually be for that purpose . I will show you a photo once I get it pieced together .
 My Crazy patch block is also making progress although slower than I would like , I do still have some issues with doing embroidery but it is getting easier . Yesterday I hand quilted at the church  with the other ladies and it was wonderful ,I found my stitching was back to normal and my speed is improving . It is a true blessing to have these things back in my life after these long four months .
 Think I will head on back to the machine so thanks for taking the time to stop by , hope you have a fabulous day .
 hugs Sheila

    It's great that you are getting the use of the hand back a bit. It had to be so frustrating. Enjoy your stitching.

    Eu queria que você pudesse ver eu batendo palmas para você! Sinceramente estou muito feliz com a sua recuperação! Que bom!
    O bloco para a colcha é muito bonito e fazer colchas para veteranos me parece um trabalho muito prazeroso.
    Um grande abraço!

    I wish you could see me clapping for you! I am honestly very happy with your recovery! That good!
    The block for the quilt is very beautiful and make quilts for veterans seems to me a very pleasurable work.
    A big hug!
