Olaaaaa, my friends ! ;>)
I know, I know, I've been so quiet lately... even my own Blog is sound asleep for weeks/months... up to the point I sometimes feel about closing it.
Actually, I've been experiencing some health issues lately, due to some persistent (very) high temperatures causing swollen/painful leggs (water retention) + high blood pressure, etc... I feel a bit discouraged, having left rainy/cooler Belgium for a sunshiny Spanish spot, and now having to consider going back home earlier - sigh - we'll see.... (don't misunderstand me, I LOOOVE our Belgian home, it's just that we wanted to enjoy retirement under a better climate, some months a year).
Well, 'nough said, let's come to the point ;>)
First of all, I wanna tell you again how much IN AWE I am with all your progress and the beauties you're showing here. Congratulations, dear friends, you are all so talented and inspirational !
As to my "Little Baskets of Joy", I'm quietly keeping on handpiecing them, at my own (turtle) pace and with much pleasure. I even found a lovely, unusual "egg duck" fabric for the connecting blocks.
Well, actually I was hesitating between two of them, so I took both ( TeHeee...), using the second one for the border triangles. Of course, I just couldn't help piecing some blocks together, as you can see ;>)

So, that's it up to now, my friends..... looong is the way to the finish line,
but big is the FUN in every step!
ENJOY YOUR SEWING!
