I had to share two more cute blocks with you. The Dahlia and the Beehive blocks are from Lori Holt's Farmhouse Vintage 2 book. I love the whimsical element that they add to the quilt top. They add to the heart/love theme of the quilt and tell a story about the things that make me happy.
Sorry for the poor quality of the photos. I had a really full day Sunday and never got around to writing a blog post for this morning. It is around 6:30 (Pacific Daylight Time) as I write this on Monday morning and it is still really dark! As in 5:30 AM dark. Is it just me, or it is crazy hard to get used to the first days after a time change?
I hope you all had a great weekend. My father continues to improve and is in great spirits. When asked, he always says he is "in the pink". My husband and I got our corned beef and cabbage fix taken care of, due to an invitation to join my first son-in-law and his wife for dinner. The bonus was we got to take our Leprechaun Eva home with us. And the last big event of the weekend was that I managed to get my COVID shot scheduled for this week! I will be sure to let you know how that goes!
The new blocks are cute & a nice addition to the others! That's great news about your dad being 'in the pink'! (Where did those wonderful old sayings originate?) You really had a busy Sunday with dinner & Eva as a bonus! Congrats on getting your vaccination scheduled--WHO ever dreamed we'd be saying THAT? Stay well!

YAY!!! I'm hoping to get the Johnson & Johnson one when it's my turn...1 shot and done. ;p
So glad to hear your dad is doing well. Wouldn't an entire quilt of bee hives be fun? You can make them all different colors/fabrics with one big queen bee block in the middle.
Ugh. hate the time change. just throws us off for days. Well, at least the sun is shining today.

Yay for shot scheduling! I think the adjustment to DST became harder when they moved it so early in the year. When it was in early April, almost all of us still woke to a bit to daylight. Regressing to waking in the dark is not helpful. But, until I run for office on my "Smarter Daylight Savings Time" platform I think we're stuck with it. TBH, it runs to0 late in the fall, too. Or maybe I'm a little cranky from having to wake up in the dark today. LOL

I like seeing the Moda quilts in repro fabrics; I've started some repro quilts and am enjoying seeing where they are used well.
I hate the first few days of DST and it definitely goes too late in the fall. Glad your dad's better.
Got my first shot last Tuesday! but it's Moderna so 4 week wait for #2. Getting closer!!

Hope your shot goes okay and not too much soreness. Love your blocks!
