We lost. I'm alive. Period.
My beautiful co-receptionist is sick since Wednesday, 18 of Sept. I am so tired. Not only do I have to answer all the phone calls, but also all the people coming in, the emails, the snail mails, every payments, lawyer's assistants' requests, cleaning of every room after each client, etc., but also work half a hour longer because she finishes 30 minutes after me. I'm beat!
So, what did I sew?
(We change our Internet from cable to fiber optic. Yes, it's wonderful. Nothing works the same. Not even the TV channels are the same. (Sigh!) I can't use Microsoft anymore because they want me to pay to have access to my files. I did pay to have the Microsoft Office package but that was on the old system, now they think I'm a new client and I need to buy the stupid system again. So greedy!) (I am now working with Google Drive which I never worked with before. So, on this beautiful funny Saturday morning, I am learning something new.) (But I don't want to learn. I'm tired!) (Stop whining!)
Anywho, Framed 9 Patch came out to play last weekend.
This is the original top but I find it small. The plan is to add a "border" of lighter blocks all around. The second block on the bottom row (the navy blue) will be remove and will go in the "border". It is so light that it will make the light border look weird. So, out it goes.
It is replaced by this red one:
I have also done this one which is too "dark" to go in the border. Maybe I'll find another light one to remove and replace.
This is one of the lighter blocks I did but not liking the black bears on the right top corner. Too much black in one spot. So, an emergency operation was performed on this one.
It looks so much better in the group photo after its full recovery. Look! One of them is brown!
Yes, I did some 9 Patch blocks too. Also finished a second grey Stained Glass. I'm not doing any in brown though.
That's all for now because getting these photos prepped in Google Drive for the post is draining my batteries. Also, I want to enjoy that sunshine while it is still here.
Have a great weekend, every beautiful one of you!

The Framed 9-patch is such a great block, especially for a scrappy quilt. Your is looking really good. And it reminds me that I have one hanging in the closet waiting to be quilted. Hmmm
Oh dear, I do hope your fellow receptionist recovers and comes back to work soon. Nice blocks you are working on.
Oh no. That is a long time to do 2 persons jobs! I hope you can have a relaxing weekend and get some rest. Might I suggest another light block switch - third row, last one on the right for that swap?
It is definitely hard to do the job of two people - hope your co-worker comes back soon! The framed 9 patches are looking good. I'll enjoy seeing how the border frames them!
First off, I hope you are being compensated for having to stay later each day. If your co-worker will be out much longer, it seems like they should bring in a temp to assist. I know, you have no power to achieve any of that.
In regards to the framed nine patches, the right block in the third row down is fairly light, so that might be a candidate to move into the border. It's light blue with white center squares.
Oh and I loved the report on the volleyball game. At least you haven't lost your sense of humor. And this to, sahll past. Hang in there.

Sounds like you need rest. That is all.
Til next week,
Thank goodness for fabric and patchwork to take away all the stress. I had no idea changing from cable to optic caused so many problems! And I do hope that your colleague is better soon. xx
Tout cela semble épuisant, j'espère que ta collègue reviendra vite. Jolis blocs 9-patch, j'aime bien tes choix de remplacement. Le vitrail est magnifique, quel beau dégradé de couleurs ! Bon repos ;) bises
I hope your fellow receptionist is recovered by Monday so you don't start your week like you ended your last week! I'm impressed you accomplished any sewing! I like your plan for the framed nine patches. Best wishes next week is better than last week!
All the tech changes help keep our brains sharp, but also contribute to much frustrated hair pulling. :)
Creating a border of light blocks has definitely possibilities.
I like your framed 9 patch...I have a stack of them done in light and dark blue to put into a top (or two...) I like seeing the multicolored ones. They work well also.
Love your Framed 9 Patch blocks. Can't wait to see them with the light border.
I like the block -- a good scrap buster in any color or genre.
I LOVED the new word you created from "situation" as my recent issues (on my blog) DID turn out to be just that!
