I went to the doctor today for a recheck on my pneumonia. I've been very discouraged because I have no stamina. Which is all a part of pneumonia...but still. I'm just so tired of being tired. Ya know? And, it's not even really being tired...not sleepy tired. Just plain fatigued. There's not much I can do, especially when I'm supposed to rest. I can sit and sew, though. For little increments of time. But, I even need to take a break from that, for pete's sake.
Anyway. I had chest radiographs taken, and they looked better than the ones that were taken a month ago. So, that's the good news. The bad news...well, it's not really bad news...but the other news is that my doctor is not releasing me for work. Yet. I go back for another recheck in two weeks. I will probably be released for work at that time.
In the meantime...what's a girl to do? Well, how about if this girl starts a new quilt? Yeah. I've been thinking about a sampler quilt...and the Denyse Schmidt fabrics have been calling my name. So. That's what I did. Started a new quilt. Today.
I had seen this quiltalong - Summer Sampler Series - but was in the midst of planning my 'Christmas in August' projects (this was before I had pneumonia), so didn't want to take on another project.
But now? Heck, yeah!
There are twelve 12" blocks in this quilt...I will probably make 16, though, so the quilt finishes at a larger size. I'm using Kona solid in Snow with the Hope Valley fabrics.

Here are my first 3 blocks...
The Star of Virginia...
Greek Cross...
Mosaic...
That's all I have for now.
Must feed the pups.
