A Somewhat Busy Week

When I last left you, I thought I had resolved the churndash dilemma for Cynthia's block drive.  
Well, sad to say, after all that I went through, my blocks were still 1/2" too small!   

I debated about making more of that same size for her to use in a single quilt.  Then I thought, "nah!" I'll just make the remaining 4 mini-dashes into the correct 12-inch finished size.  And as long as I'm at it, I'll make more of that size to go with them.  

That occupied a good portion of my early week.  Tuesday was Devo day and I took my latest two batik projects for show-and-tell.  I am still auditioning border options for Granny's Stars (begun in 2016), but I think a light yellow batik (not shown) is the winner.

I did a quick repair of a hole in Zinnias (begun in June 2022) and got the last two columns attached in time to show.  I will add a narrow white border on each side to stabilize the seams and that will probably be all as it is already 72" long.  

While at Devo day, I assembled the rows on a third batik project, Driftwood (begun January 2023), but didn't have enough time to get the rows together.  That will be on the docket again in a couple of weeks.

After a morning with the Devo gals, I headed to my last physical therapy session for vertigo.  I had been vertigo-free for over two weeks so I was released.  I have to admit I was one of those patients who rolled her eyes (literally and figuratively) when PT was recommended, but I'm SO glad I went through with it.  The Epley maneuver did the trick.

I was in and out the remaining days of the week, but did manage to spend some time in the studio every day.  A lot of that time was just cleaning up the mess down there, but I also managed to make good progress on a new wall hanging.

Stay tuned for future developments!
