Wow, I had no idea that this week I’d be running an infirmary over here! We’ve had Swine flu, pretty sure…and now I’ve got it too! I’m home from work today with Nicholas, who started running a fever (again) and I also have fever today :(
Even so, here’s a few pictures of what’s on my table these days.
Remember that picture of what I cut out last week? Well, here are the first few blocks.
And for those who guessed, it is Wild Thing by Thimble Blossoms using Santorini by Lila Tueller. I am LOVING how this is turning out! I think it’s just an excellent way to showcase this fabric!
I also got and finished Month 5 BOM from FQS! Ironically this block was designed by Camille of Thimble Blossoms :)
The color is a bit off in the picture, but as always, it’s using those Glace fabrics that are to die for! Love them more every month when I work with them.
And since I’m up to date on the monthly blocks, I figured it was time to work on the center star and start some of the sashing and cornerstone stars…since there’s going to be a lot of them…
So, I pulled out the fabric…
(even washed out, they’re gorgeous!)…and I started cutting away.
Do you get nervous when you cut into big chunks of yardage? I found myself getting nervous last night…like I was afraid to use it or something?! Weird…
That’s it for today. Hoping to get a few stitches in Jack’s stocking today. I think that’s about all I will have the energy for…what with this fever and all :(
See you all later…

I hope that you're feeling better soon. I went through that Swine Flu thing a few weeks ago and it totally knocked me on my back. I'm still not feeling up to par. I'm surprised that you got all that quilting in!! I love all the fabric you're using.
Dianne - your fabric selections are just beautiful - I can't decided which group I like best. I am so glad that you at least feel well enough to be crafty :-)
My friend is a nurse and she said the best otc medicine for this flue has been Oscillococcinum - she said it is pricey but well worth the money - they even have a children's version. Thankfully, I have not needed it for myself. I hope you all feel better soon!
Hope you are feeling better soon. My DS had a mild case of the swine flu about a month ago. Fortunately we were able to get the Tamiflu in time (which is probably why it ended up being a mild case). Hang in there. Your quilts blocks are beautiful!
I hope you all feel better soon. Swine flu seems to have passed here for now, but is expected to make a comeback early next year.
Love the fabrics. I have plenty of large cuts of fabric that I can't bring myself to cut. I think I am just afraid, or something like that!!
Sorry to hear your family hasn't been feeling well!
I LOVE the Christmas fabrics and your quilt is going to be just beautiful!
I hope you feel better soon.
Your fabric selection is beautiful and your quilt is going to be great :)
Beautiful fabbys, love the BOM! I sure hope you get to feeling better soon!
So sorry to hear you are sick. Take care of yourself and feel better soon.
