But things aren't easy lately.
I did managed to sew some PINK.
I work with the entire rainbow while playing with Friends' Favourite quilt. I find it hard to remember which colour this month is, haha.
These Hollow 9 blocks are my leader-enders.
The girls at the Artisanat haven't received any new quilts to finish or kits to work on. They are starting to ask if the baby quilt drive is still on. Yes, it is. Those little Hollow 9 blocks are parts of a kit.
Not much of a pattern: " 36 Hollow 9 blocks with 36 squares of 5.5" interesting prints. Sew in a grid of 8 X 9. Any and all layouts are acceptable and beautiful." Can't wait to seeing what this kit will grow into.
Some of you know that I've been sick since February 23rd when I was to go on a retreat. Well I am still coughing. No improvement yet, but the doctor now know what I have. Never mind the medical term (cause I don't remember) but it's an infection in my nose. Yep, in my nose that drips at the back of my throat, irritating it on its way down and my body reacts by coughing. I cough so much that it feels like knifes in my chest and back that moves around when I cough. The meds are to take a couple of weeks to work as they aren't antibiotics but steroids. I'm on steroids??
The part that annoys me the most is that after all these weeks of coughing and crunching, (and wetting my pants) I still don't have a six-pack!! What's with that? I deserve a six-pack! These steroid meds better give me a six-pack or else, I want a refund.
Anywho!
A little tray and it's orange. It says: The sewing room isn't going to tidy itself, so let's just close the door. Thanks again, Sonia. It's perfect for holding my chocolate eggs while I sew. Haha!
Now, on a sad note, my mother-in-law passed away on the 31st. She was in the hospital for an entire week. Hopefully, she is the cherry on top of the big ugly sundae that was the month of March and all will be better in April. Like Dolly Parton once said: If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. Well, I need a rainbow now please.
Hope you are under a glorious rainbow and you get plenty of sewing done.
Enjoy! ;^)
Like me, Raven also love the sunrise's warmth. It was a lovely morning today.

You definitely DO need a rainbow! I hope April brings good things and good health too. I love that Framed 9-Patch quilt in your blog heading. It reminds me that I have a couple of those blocks leftover from an old project, and should add them back into my RSC rotation. The Hollow 9s have become some of my new favorites.
Oh Chantal. Mine condolences on the death of your MIL. And I didn't realize you had been sick all this time. I hope the steroids provide the solution. Constant coughing and post-nasal drip are very aggravating. Spring is coming. My daffodils and hellebores are blooming, the trees are budding up and warmer weather has to come soon. Happy Easter

Sick since retreat in February? I'm so sorry to hear that, Chantal. I feel your pain. Different ailment, same sort of cough! Please accept my condolences on your MIL's passing. Here's hoping for a better month in April! Don't worry about those kits. I'm sure the ladies completely understand.
Condolences on the loss of your MIL, Sylvia--and so sorry that you are still sick--that coughing is really so hard on your body!! Very tiring--hopefully that steroid script will knock it out for you...
I love 9-patches, too--...hugs, Julierose
Your pink and blue blocks at the top look so pretty and delicate. I do hope you get some relief from coughing soon, sounds terrible.
My condolences on the death of your MIL. I'm sure she will be missed.
The quilt shown in the header is so pretty! I hope your infection clears up soon and you feel better.
You've really been "through the mill" with your illness, and I hope the new medicine does the trick and you feel much better soon! I think we all need a lot more warm days right now and enough with the warm one day and snow the next routine we've had so far this spring. It was a wonderful 77 degrees today, and you guessed it, by Monday we're supposed to get some snow ...
I'm so sorry to read of your health problem, its certainly been hanging around for a while. And sorry inside about your MILs passing, youband your family have had a lot to deal with. Take care.
Chantal, I’m sorry you have lost your mother-in-law…sometimes the rain keeps on raining but hopefully the steroids will finally return you to health…and you’ll see your rainbow. Not holding out much hope for the 6 pack though, lol.
Sorry to hear you are still unwell - lets hope those steroids will do the trick. And sorry for your loss too. What a great little tray and your blocks are looking good. Happy Easter and I hope you have a better week. xx
Oh mince Chantal, je t'envoie plein de soleil, de bonnes ondes et des bisous. Prends bien soin de toi. Tes petits blocs sont adorables, et ce plateau orange est trop mignon ! Courage, bisous
Good grief. . .your nose was the culprit behind the three plus weeks of coughing! Who would have known! I hope the steroid treatment works and I totally can relate to all the coughing "by products!" I'm impressed you were able to sew anything! Sorry for the loss of your mother-in-law. Sending you hugs and healing wishes to you and your family.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother-in-law, Chantal, and also that you have been so sick. Sending you wishes for the rainbow to show up in April! Hugs! 🩷
LOVE what you are doing with those pinks and colors. You tried. You did it. Different weeks have different production. It happens to all of us.
So so sorry about your mother in law.... it's a really tough time xx Glad they have found what the problem is... lets hope those steroids do the trick.... xx
Hugz
I sure hope you get your six pack. Maybe you should buy one of soda...(or beer) and just not mention that is how you got your six pack. Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. It's tough to lose family members. I agree with Dolly -- rain comes first, then the rainbow. Hope April is much better than March was.
I'm so sorry you've been sick since February! Hope those steroids finally help. Lovely little blocks you've got there. And I so love your starred quilt that shows at first in your post. Spectacular!!
My condolences to you and your family, Chantal. Sounds as though your March was more lion than lamb. Your scrappy works in progress are a delight. And I very much like the 9p quilt in the header photo.
OH my Chantal, that really does sound like a nasty bug but thankfully, being on steroids (!) will cure you up fast. Love that you still have your sense of humour. Sorry to hear about your mother in law passing. Your blocks are lovely and colourful. Also love that saying. I keep my sewing room door closed all the time, mostly to keep the dogs out- i have a fear of one of them getting stabbed with a floor needle or something. So get better soon and back to your old self!
I like all your little scrappies!!
I am so sorry you have been sick that long - and yes!! you do deserve a 6 pack!!!
What a rough time you've had lately! I hope the meds work for you, and I'm sorry to hear about your mother in law.
