Playing Catchup

Its been busy!  Thanksgiving has come and gone, soon it will be Christmas.  We got our vaccinations a couple weeks ago--Covid, RSV, Influena, and Shingles.  I need a pneumonia booster yet.  I wanted as many vaccines at once because if I had a reaction(s) I wanted to get it over with.  One day of fever, aches, tired, and headache.  That was it.  

We moved my sewing, I have a SHE SHED!  Its the cargo trailer we haul the RZR etc in.  The RZR is sitting outside with the cover on.

Its 16ft long, not sure how wide.  I have lights, a design wall, cutting table, small pressing table.  A comfy rolling chair.  Its get chilly in New Mexico, I have a small electric heater.  But for the cold days I have this--

A propane heater.  A 20# propane bottle fits inside and it has push button ignition.  Low, medium and high setting.  On low yesterday it got up to 82° inside.  Don't worry, the trailer has two air vents on the side, and the side door is covered with heavy clear vinyl attached with velcro--an electric cord comes in there.  All the lights are LED, and I don't use enough power to trip the breaker.  The electric heater is under the sewing table--it keeps my legs and feet warm set on low.  

I have been doing lots of sewing.  Today I finished this flimsy--

Churn Dashes and Greek Crosses--all cut with the same Accuquilt die--a 9" Churn dash.  Can you see the value/placement of the darker Greek Crosses?  They come to the front because they are darker than the light Churn Dashes around them.  I want to say "planned design" but it was really "happy accident" when I was playing with them on the design wall.  I think I have another set of these blocks.  

After working all summer I said I was going to sew all winter!  Lori1R in New Mexico
