Oh the pollen! I am trying to beat it, but I can report that right now it is winning. (At least 7 to 0!) All week it's been kicking me down. My head feels like.... well, words can't accurately describe how it feels. And I can't seem to hear out of my left ear, but who really needs both ears anyway? Zyrtec, decongestant, motrin, you name it, I'm taking it. Hopefully soon, I will feel back to normal. I know that the flowers/trees/grass are worth it though, how can you not love the spring flowers and green! Like this peony, by far my favorite flower. Each year they get bigger and better, like these:
I have a few pictures of my Chilly Charmers blocks and the latest Jamestown block that I completed. The first Saturday is at Emma's Quilt Cupboard tomorrow, so I had to get these done. When you complete the previous month's block, and go to the store at the specified time, you get the next month's block free! Is that motivation or what?
Those penguins and snowmen are too cute! Easy enough, I'm use machine applique around the figures. Just like hand applique, the prep is the time consuming part. Totally worth it though, I can't wait to see what the next one looks like tomorrow!
Pollen kicks my tail in very early Spring. I know your feeling. Have you tried a nasal spray called Astepro? It helped me ALOT. The quilt shop block is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those penguin blocks. Is it a published pattern? If so, maybe you can tell me the name so I could find it. (I have a "thing" for penguins!!! LOL)
ReplyDeleteVery cute penguin project Danielle!! Sorry the pollen is whoopin' up on you, I hope it all settles down soon for you.

I am so excited that I will have Peonies this year - but yeah, the pollen has been a bugger this year for me, too. We need a good rain to wash it away! Cute block, and my sister would love those happy little penguin guys. Just so cheerful!! :o)
ReplyDeleteSorry about your pollen problems! I love your new pieces though! Hope you're feeling better soon.
