They look wonderful! Good luck house hunting and selling yours! It sounds like a daunting task.KaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-51380156269924690422019-06-11T07:39:34.992-04:002019-06-11T07:39:34.992-04:00You are in my thoughts, Mari.

I’m glad you have some time to sew again. Here’s hoping that selling and buying go quickly, so you can get a studio back again. The market is hot, hot, hot in our area—great for selling, but a bit nerve wracking for buying. I hope you find just what you’re looking for.JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-43922033032922540512019-06-02T19:02:51.618-04:002019-06-02T19:02:51.618-04:00Hi Mari!

These blocks rock - I love all the colors so far. I'm sending good vibes for your house to sell and even more for you to find a new home that you love. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ RoseanneHome Sewn By Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943739387560629258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-86957126094708381502019-06-01T18:09:48.117-04:002019-06-01T18:09:48.117-04:00My fingers are crossed for a quick sale!My fingers are crossed for a quick sale!Katie Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15747099863417435647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-45088256328335133532019-06-01T16:00:03.290-04:002019-06-01T16:00:03.290-04:00I certainly know what you are going through.

That was the year I started with RSC group, so needless to say, I didn't finish that one (yet). I think you are doing a great job staying caught up on this one.

I was so desperate, I bought a fat quarter pack and a book and started a new quilt at my sisters when we where there over the weekend. (We had to live in a hotel for a month till our house was done). Looks like you got in some good stitching time. Hopefully this interlude will be pretty brief and you can get your sewing room all set up and get in some good stitching time before he next school year starts.
