(<a href="https://modafabrics.com/webfiles/ModaCharmPackChallenge_ModaLoveCharmQuiltPattern.pdf" target="_blank">PDF Pattern here</a>.) It's a nice name, but I don't see the love in there. It is so versatile in the sense that depending on where the values are, you can change the look of the block and quilters <u>love</u> that. <div><br /></div><div>So, I searched for another name.

I work and work, but I'm getting nowhere. Ever got that feeling? <br /><br /><br />There were, in the past two weeks, a good number of job postings up my alley. Out of all the applications I sent, only one turned into an interview. None of the applications came to fruition. I have another interview on Monday morning. I know I will get this job just because it isn't a job I want. It will help to pay the bills while I keep searching though. The quilting group and I are going up to the cottage at the end of February for a weekend of quilting. I don't want hubby to pay for MY vacation. Hence, the (desperate) need to find a job. Fingers crossed. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Anywho! What happened this week besides the boring stuff? </div><div><br /></div><div>The Hole in the Barn Door had its white border sewn. That poor quilt's been lingering on the rocking chair for so long. The last I worked on this quilt was in October 2021. I've worked on the last border on and off, but the quilt itself became my Sleeping Beauty. (My cat must love this one because there's cat hair all over it, lol.) </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6L0NzOz-9OhWh66NOL2IQDSClrMEJ_Sr_Au8EMhxQ3c-n-ZM-xbTAjz7a1PoK0thKnGQaENFhdTNX_m3d_q6RenP_F9NfgfyJs8J4kTLpx_6wNO7NzE_yRW4ZPehS0l2R0tBY0VrIG7fCGlicE-k2_Rhto6ndEVBeRudIzwtIJuhT6dYvbbK00f1WExZI/s1346/Hole%20in%20the%20Barn%20Door%20border1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1346" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6L0NzOz-9OhWh66NOL2IQDSClrMEJ_Sr_Au8EMhxQ3c-n-ZM-xbTAjz7a1PoK0thKnGQaENFhdTNX_m3d_q6RenP_F9NfgfyJs8J4kTLpx_6wNO7NzE_yRW4ZPehS0l2R0tBY0VrIG7fCGlicE-k2_Rhto6ndEVBeRudIzwtIJuhT6dYvbbK00f1WExZI/s320/Hole%20in%20the%20Barn%20Door%20border1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div>Now, here's the Catch 22!

I know it was on the dresser for the longest time. Then, before the Holidays, before the flu, I started putting some of the things away ... I shouldn't have done that, because the white border is NOT on the dresser anymore.

Blaming the flu for that. It is stealing my energy and my mojo. Darn! <br /><br /><div>As I look at my Excel spreadsheet of 2023, I find myself drawn to finishing more than to starting new projects. As I've done in years past, I will tag a quilt to each colour and when Angela (So Scrappy) calls the RSC colour of the month, I will work on that tagged quilt. I like this method as it helps me work on projects even if I'm not too inclined to work on that particular project. You know what I mean? </div><div><br /></div><div>Of course, things could change in a heartbeat because life is fun that way! 😁</div><div><br /></div><div>So, let's choose 10 quilts to work on and get this year on the right path. </div><div><br /></div><div>Hole in the Barn Door - <span style="background-color: white;">green </span></div><div>Spinner -<span style="background-color: white;"> yellow </span></div><div>Framed 9 Patch - <span style="background-color: white;">orange </span></div><div>Dreaming in Dutch - pink </div><div>Shoreline - red </div><div>Broken Dish Swap - purple </div><div>Westering Woman - blue </div><div>Star Bloom - aqua </div><div>Crumb Quilt in flannel - dark blue </div><div>HST something for whatever colour I didn't already mention </div><div><br /></div><div>Like many of you (if not all of you), I have lots of inspiration from my Pinterest boards, magazines and books. I would like to work on that this year. These quilts don't lend themselves well to the Rainbow method of construction. Instead of choosing one block to make every month, I might be working on different blocks for different quilts. I haven't thought this one through yet, but I'll learn how to dance to this one as the year progresses. </div><div><br /></div><div>Angela called January's colour green. Yep!

I hope it was a good one and you have good stories to tell. For me, not so much. On the 19th of December, DS2 got the intestinal flu, and two days later DS3 caught it (he's home for the week, what a week he had poor thing!), then DS1 caught it too. I walked around the house with a can of Lysol spray and wipes, trying desperately to keep the germs at a minimum. When DH started to show symptoms, I knew it didn't look good for me. We cancelled all outings. <div><br /></div><div>In preparation for the Holidays, I had cooked and baked so I could just enjoy the boys and sewing. Now, I'm stuck indoors with sick people still coughing their lungs out and none of them can eat anything but chicken noodle soup. Thank goodness for the freezer. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Before the awful 19th of December, I did finish a top! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5bz4DGH6ejmyN4biDtGLrIf5nSpmcNksWiw-RjSFnxMNAb7CmjUzochAgrpXpb_AzZoMQu7EOp0HdK76JBA9_9CsPNleeT66GjxP6cfnJchGDvSoqK_kFrFF0pxHRBzVrVrpg4oB2oB24CKMqALHt0bWY3eMEF9Cf16EjPG0d2xoVm5_vdavenDkh9tnq/s1292/Paper%20Chain%20quilt%20top1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="913" data-original-width="1292" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5bz4DGH6ejmyN4biDtGLrIf5nSpmcNksWiw-RjSFnxMNAb7CmjUzochAgrpXpb_AzZoMQu7EOp0HdK76JBA9_9CsPNleeT66GjxP6cfnJchGDvSoqK_kFrFF0pxHRBzVrVrpg4oB2oB24CKMqALHt0bWY3eMEF9Cf16EjPG0d2xoVm5_vdavenDkh9tnq/s320/Paper%20Chain%20quilt%20top1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Paper Chain quilt inspired by Cathy at <a href="https://saneandcrazy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO7bdAXILUr0Arjvrz4a7AzGtVW_c3yCInDhdnBDZGufAZQ4PFPe1bErYCEeTXOhBFjA6oosB4SQQc-17-FtFNQ-hRvZ7tjXXpASG2ZqqTe5vYfyfWa_vonnFTOLD-Y-EireAB0k5-2sa_pY5ETgiimo7hRemjt6OVZzG3aYb4Vk23umYbb6KhWySKWP5Q/s1317/Paper%20Chain%20quilt%20top2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="988" data-original-width="1317" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO7bdAXILUr0Arjvrz4a7AzGtVW_c3yCInDhdnBDZGufAZQ4PFPe1bErYCEeTXOhBFjA6oosB4SQQc-17-FtFNQ-hRvZ7tjXXpASG2ZqqTe5vYfyfWa_vonnFTOLD-Y-EireAB0k5-2sa_pY5ETgiimo7hRemjt6OVZzG3aYb4Vk23umYbb6KhWySKWP5Q/s320/Paper%20Chain%20quilt%20top2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div>This quilt is heading to Quilts for Survivors in 2024.

(Sometimes the quilt is placed upside down on the bed, so both ends need repairs.) The bonus about this: the quilt now matches the curtains. It is a quilt bought at Sears about 15 years ago. One day, I'll stop making quilts for others and have one of my own on my bed.
