DH got the stomach flu on Tuesday and passed it on to me on Friday. Gotta love a generous guy like that, haha. I wasn't as sick as he was but it's still not pleasant. I didn't go to work Friday as prevention for my coworkers. I still feel woozy today.
Regardless, I managed to sew this week and get this one together.
Yesssss! Spinners is a top! Whoohoo. I got all the stained pieces out and sewed it all together. See this post to read about the misadventure. Can you believe it was way back in 2022? It's about time it gets finish. You can see in the background that the snow didn't stay very long.
And I also did this:
Yep! I took Elvis apart. Oh no! Poor Elvis.
I don't like this poly-pretend-I'm-batting thing to the point that I HAD to remove it. Our annual Artisanat's exposition is coming at the end of the month and I would like to show it off. And I want it to look nice! It will get a lot of attention this weekend. 😉
On to the Red scraps, very little got done.

My leader-ender is not progressing much.
I believe that's it for now. I'll catch you again next weekend.
Take care everyone.

Hopefully you'll be back to feeling good again quickly. Stomach flu is never fun. Love that Spinner quilt. It's beautiful.
I hope you & DH are feeling better. Summer is hanging on around here. We’re ready for some Autumn. The Spinners quilt is fabulous. What a great effect. Even a little progress is progress on projects. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement on my last post.
Lovely projects. Love the quilt top, it's gorgeous.
SEW glad that you were able to get a lot done before becoming ill, Chantal. Feel better soon!
You actually threw out some scraps? Hurray! I'm proud of you. We had some snow this week, too, but it didn't stick around very long. Still cold and gray though. I want to get out in the gardens to do some clean-up.

Ugh . . snow. I'm glad it left quickly. So sorry you had the flu; but, glad you were able to finish that top!
Ah mince, la gastro ce n'est pas drôle... Le printemps tarde à arriver par chez toi, heureusement la neige ne tient pas. Ton Spinners est superbe ! Quel bel effet. Jolis blocs rouges, et autres. Dommage pour ce tissu à fleurs blanches, il était beau. Bises !
I'm so sorry about the stomach flu - that's no fun! But sewing the Spinners top together is a wonderful accomplishment. It's so pretty! Have a great Sunday, Chantal!
I’m still laughing about your polyester batting post and meant to comment then. A few years ago I bought a giant roll of the stuff from JoAnns and had it delivered. It was so heavy my husband had to bring it in the house for me. I cut the whole roll up to use in charity quilts. Then I tried quilting with it. Nope. I tried two more pieces. Still no. I kept it maybe two more years and finally threw it out. I don’t know what it can be used for, but it’s sure not machine quilting.
Spinners is fab!!! Your County Clare posts keep reminding me I need to get that back out....and then I don't. LOL I'm L&E something else & not motivated to work on it, although I still like it & it's still on a tray by my sewing table. Ah, well. Boo to snow & good on ya for being brave enough to operate on Elvis & make him work the way you want.
Spinners is great! I like the 'constant' provided on the diagonal. Spring time snow is a bummer indeed. Hope it melts fast.
Yikes. That’s a fair bit of snow you had there. You must be ready for spring. Your Spinners quilts looks terrific.
Ohh I do not like it when spouses share things like that!
