I remember those television interruptions! ...Yes! I remember those television interruptions! And yes, they were usually bad news! :( Loving your string blocks. My daughter and I made some for Covered In Love also! I'd forgotten how beautiful they were and how easy they are to make! Your four patches are an interesting combination of fabrics - and they play well together! Nice job! I have to admit, my favorite photo was the last ones - absolutely gorgeous flowers that made me gasp at the their beauty! Thank you so much for sharing!

Glad you are getting settled back in. I find working with colors goes in stages and grey seems to popping up lots of places this year... I know I have purchased a few greys. Love how you decided to use them with the strings.

I's be like...GAH! NO! Stop!!!<br />I say back to our Reg-u-lar-ly scheduled program all the time to my kids. (I can see their eyes roll as I type this, I said it so much!)<br />It usually meant...knock it off get your homework done!<br />Isn't it fun finding those forgotten pieces? I love it. I moved into this house nearly two years ago and I am still finding things I had forgotten about...geez! I need to get organized. Unfortunately, when we moved here, my sewing room was the last to get worked on because my daughter and I had to put up some fences to keep our horses from going to meet the new neighbors on their own. I'm still working on the sewing room!claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-49890763920658192952016-10-12T18:20:06.393-04:002016-10-12T18:20:06.393-04:00Good to get some old things out and moving againGood to get some old things out and moving againJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816490142334340354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-6670089948541180382016-10-12T12:29:36.844-04:002016-10-12T12:29:36.844-04:00What a beautiful collection of string blocks!
