Today I made a trip to Hobby Lobby and it was so hot I just didn’t think I’d have any energy left to cook so I stopped by KFC on the way home. After eating, I went back out to pick up my grocery order. I think it was even hotter by then! 🥵
The Hobby Lobby trip was to get a crafty gift for someone and to pick up supplies for a Santa wall hanging workshop at our guild next month. I thought it would be hard to even think about Christmas as hot as it was.
I was wrong. Hobby Lobby had everything Christmas on sale 50% off. So many nice things. So, so tempting! I only picked up a couple of boxes of Christmas cards.
I haven’t mailed cards in the last couple of years. It’s a fun tradition that I miss so this year I have no excuse to procrastinate until it’s too late.
Sticking with my plan, on Sunday and Monday I made more patriotic string blocks. Still have lots of these strings to make into blocks so I may try to sneak in a few between other quilting projects.
I started my next inspiration quilt from a 24 strip Kona jelly roll I’d purchased from JoAnns a while back and some leftover strips of white fabric I’d mentioned wanting to use up in the plan I referred to above.
Hope to get some quilting done later in the week. Lots of rain in the forecast so it’s a good excuse to stay inside and sew.
