Sew & Tell Friday: Seasons of the Heart BOM

Honestly, if not for the motivation of Amy's Sew & Tell Friday, I wouldn't have sewn a stitch this week. I worked a lot of hours, and Hancock's was busy. Lots of people sewing for the holidays, taking advantage of all the sales on right now. With week two, I learned that standing on your feet for eight hours cutting fabric (seriously, it has been almost non-stop) is very physically demanding. Oh, my aching hands and feet! Thankfully, I have today off for a little rest, and a bit easier schedule next week. Just have to get through working the weekend. A trip to the Athlete's Foot for a pair of good walking shoes is definitely on my to-do list today...

Anyway, despite the aches and pains, I had Sew & Tell on my mind all week. There was very little of me left in the evenings for sewing, but I was determined to finish something. On Wednesday night, I cut out and fused the pieces for the November Seasons of the Heart block-of-the-month, and last night, I did the handwork to finish up my fall leaves and acorns.


Only one block to go now, and Sandi was kind enough to post the December block early, so we could finish it up before the holidays take up all of our time. I'm excited to see this little quilt come together, even though I have no clue yet what I'll do with it. The blocks sure have been fun to work on.

So that's all, folks. I have a feeling my finishes will be small ones for awhile, at least until my body adjusts to the job a little bit. I still hope to make many of my Christmas gifts this year, and one thing I do get from work is a lot of sewing inspiration, so I hope the adjustment period is over soon. Hard to believe, but Christmas is just around the corner...
