Twirling at the Disco progress

my Scrappy Twirling at the Disco is growing!!  This is a pattern that was made by Samelias Mum ( for free) and I fell in LOVE with it!! And of course.... who doesn't  have a million Patriotic 2 1/2 inch squares laying around??  


These are the 5 complete blocks - and I have pieces of the rest of the blocks made... 

I might!! (  might) have moved this one up a bit. I have been using it as my Leader/Ender... but! I finished a T Shirt quilt , and finished writing the A10 Mystery - and thought that it was time to focus on this one a bit. 


I might have to name it my Sanity Quilt or something like that .. Ha ha!! It has been fun having this extra project to work on. On Saturday and Sunday I made a few of those Masks for my Nursing Friends here. They posted a pattern they were going to try - so I thought I would help a tad.

No Laughing... I think it took me longer to choose the Fat Quarters to use than it did to make the masks.... sigh.... I wanted them to be pretty ;-)

And just because you should be in your house - here is a mountain view ( that I took in February when all was considered safe) to make you happy....


And here is another funny for you - I have worked from home since forever! I started one of the first online clothing companies ( in 1994)  and hired people to work in my house... so working from home is not new to me. BUT! My family has had a few days of break while things are transitioning over to online for them... and they are stealing my bandwidth - Bwahh haa haa

They are not used to me being the one working and them being the ones doing chores! And I figured since I had work - they should cook!! Only fair right??

hope you all are doing good!! Read a lot of blogs, leave comments, and enjoy!

I'm guessing half the world is on the internet at any one time now. I tend to get on way too often and thus get nothing done. So, today I limited my time and did get some things done. Where's the picture of the mask? Are your friends running out of the better ones? Just curious. Yes, I definitely think someone else should be able to do some cooking.

You have a beautiful view! Your scrappy Twirling at the Disco is fun. The disco song 'I love the night life' is now in my head. =)

I love, love, love how your quilt is coming along. It looks so beautiful in red, white and blue.
I really should get a move-on with finishing mine too.

I love your view. I hope that is the view from your sewing room. Your Twirling at the Disco quilt is a lot of fun. I could see it working in a variety of colors. I am anxious to see it finished. Happy quilting!

Your quilt is looking good. I too have started this quilt and doing leader/enders. Like the red/white/blue. I am doing batiks. Darlene

Beautiful view! I used to live in British Columbia and I miss the views SO MUCH ! This scrappy squares quilt is looking fabulous with all the valor colors!! I feel like I'm getting behind in everything I want to do.

Looks great, Alycia! I love that pattern, too. Projects? I already have SEW many!

Absolutely correct! While the world is a crazy place, making the non workers do the chores is a great life lesson! LOL stay safe and keep sewing!

Everyone here is signed up for a turn cooking. Having to take turns with laundry has been fun too. Lots of people using up bandwidth and space and air! It does feel better to have them snug and safe at home right now though.

Funny how those of us who already work from home still have to adjust. And yes, them cooking is only fair!
