I have been doing a little bit of sewing between all the out of the house working. This barn is finally complete. Now I have 2 barns with mini spools! I do have one more barn made but I need to catch up on my spools. I’m glad I have gone so slow with this…

I spent a day moving some projects forward. This pieced backing is for a gift that I hope to have finished next month. Waiting for thread to arrive to begin the quilting. I moved my cutting supplies up to the dining room, partly to enjoy the sunny day, but also because I was waiting for…

Equals a Happy Quilt! My plan is to stop at 4 barns (!) and make them into a wallhanging for my diningroom, sashing them with my Bonnie Hunter mini spools. Here’s my second barn. Do you think I can stop myself at four?! Check out Nanette’s Quilty Barn top here. With Joy, Sarah Vee

A sweet, simple block this month. Most of my squares were already waiting for me as leftover strips from cutting the previous months’ blocks. You can see more Heart and Soul blocks at the Aurifil BOM flickr group. Link to April Aurifil BOM block. With Joy, Sarah Vee
