While I don’t have the luxury of time set aside to craft each day, I am grateful for the slivers of creative time I do manage to squeeze in. A few moments to work on a knitting row. Scratch that, who am I kidding! More often than not it’s just a few stitches moved from one needle to the other! Or sometimes, chain piecing a few squares together at the sewing machine.
All these moments add up and yesterday, I finally cast off on a long term project, my Stripe Study Shawl! Cue Hallelujah chorus!!
A few days before that, I finished all the “Block 1” blocks for my Shortcake Quilt 🙂
These crafty moments do make a difference!
There was some other sewing too. I attended my first ever Quilt Guild meeting last month at the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild and what a hoot that was! I had such a blast that I went again to this month’s meeting along with blocks for the evening’s block lotto :: Wonky Hashtags.
These were fun to make and to share!
Next up are the “Block 2” blocks for my quilt and my Five By Five Cowl.
Being creative everyday, even if it’s just slow and steady ♡

I am not a knitter, but I can see you love this craft. Gorgeous work! Yes, those few minutes here and there certainly add up. And are a wonderful way to de-stress. Love your patchwork blocks. All are pretty! Lovely fabric choices!

Your slow and steady slivers of time are adding up to beautiful finishes and works in progress. Even the thought of knowing you have something special to work on, when you have time, is a joy.

It always makes me happy and cheerful to read your posts and crafty pursuits. Love the wonky hashtags. I have been unable to do much of anything too but building up for some posts lately.

Im liking those wonky hashtags. I wish I was brave enough to go to a quilt guild meeting.
