I don’t feel like I got as much done on Day 2 as I did on Day 1, but I am still pretty pleased with the amount of work I got done.<\/p>\n

\"4<\/a>
4 Pink & Green Donation blocks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I worked on the donation blocks and think I have 9 more to go before I can start chunking.<\/p>\n

I feel like I should have gotten all of these done, but I made a couple of journal covers, which required more than straight mindless sewing. Still 4 is good, right? Immerhin, right?<\/p>\n

\"Journal<\/a>
Journal Cover closed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next up: Journal covers. Did I say somewhere that I started a new journal this past week and needed a journal cover? If not, I started a new journal this past week and need a journal cover. I didn’t believe my own directions, so that meant that I made one and it was just a tad too small. I was able to cut the covers of an old journal and use it, but I still needed a cover for my new journal. I followed my own directions this time and came up with one I could use. It is a tad too large, but works.<\/p>\n

\"Journal<\/a>

I am not sure why I like using journal covers, but I do. I like seeing cheerful fabric. I liked the softness and a journal cover gives the impression of more privacy. Real privacy? I don’t know, but the impression is ok with me. My journal doesn’t often leave my sight.<\/p>\n

I adjusted the sizes slightly and might try another cover tomorrow (LDSI3). I always need covers for new journals, so making another one would mean I get a bit ahead. I would like to go back and cover all of my journals, but I just don’t see that happening right now. Someday, perhaps.<\/p>\n

\"A-B-C<\/a>
A-B-C Challenge Blocks – more sashing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I also worked on the A-B-C Challenge Blocks. I used the last bit of the half yard that TFQ returned from the Super Secret project. I was able to sash a lot of blocks with that half yard. I am fortunate I was able to find more of the grey, so I started pressing and cutting into that.<\/p>\n

I expected to get more done, but am happy with how much I got done.<\/p>\n

More tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
