A fresh start

 Another year has passed and I've hardly looked at my sewing machine. 

I hit a problem with a pattern I was following three years ago and just stuck there, in limbo! The obvious remedy (I now think!) was to sew something else, no matter what: crumb blocks would have been a good answer, there are enough fabric crumbs around here. But, alas, even that seemed too much.

This month's request from the "Do Good Stitches" Comfort Circle (Dutch group) is a pair of Hugs and Kisses blocks. This morning I pressed and cut the necessary pieces:

 

and intend sewing them this afternoon. A nice easy project to get me going again.

I'm linking this to: https://www.storiesfromthesewingroom.com/2026/07/july-one-monthly-goal.

 

1 July 2026  I wrote the above in January last year, but couldn't link up. I hope it works this time, in which case ignore the following sentence.

The next obstacle in blogland is to link up with the above. I've followed the instructions - each time without success.

Secondly someone told me recently that last time I posted I was in no-reply mode. Am I still? Please comment and let me know.

 

And so to sew, 

Keep safe 

and enjoy your creative hobbies.

Glad you're starting something new. It's so frustrating when a project doesn't go along as the instructions say. I'm working on a quilt that I've fallen out of love with. I keep trying to do something with it that will redeem it but it's a very unattractive quilt - sigh~ Hope you find joy in the New Year.
