He said,
"Dig a Hole"
LOL
That's what my hubby, Ron said when I told him that I was in the mood to sew today but my sewing room was still a disaster area. Actually he said, "so what; dig a hole and enjoy". LOL So, I followed his advice - managed to dig a hole and got busy!
Start time 9:00 AM - finish time 8:00 PM (a full day of sewing)
Last week I showed you my Strawberry Fields Jelly Roll cut and ready to sew. At the end of the day I had a small pile of 2 1/2" squares, three empty bobbins, an empty spool of thread, a partial flimsy (just need to sew the rows together) and a huge smile on my face. :-)
This pattern is called "Shortcake" by Cluck, Cluck, Sew - I think I'm the last person in blogland to discover her sweet patterns. You can order Allison's patterns from her in PDF and have them in your mailbox before you know it. Awesome customer service!I hope your day was as blissful as mine - I really needed it. :-) Thank you for popping by to visit.
In Friendship!

iPad is always trying to correct me...incorrectly. :-)

congrats on the great sewing day.
Now that man is a keeper!!!! What a great guy and I agree, with all you are dealing with, it was definitely needed!!
Strawberries and Shortcake...YUM!! Love it!

Glad you had such a wonderful day - sometimes we need that. Are those wabbits helping you sew?
That's so pretty. I love the fabrics.
Such a lovely quilt .... Strawberry Fields was a perfect choice.
YIPPEE! That Ron is such a smart man! Oh how I love that quilt...I love Strawberry Fields and that pattern is just perfect. I am soooooooooooo happy for you!
Great advice!! Looks like you had a successful day!
Great advice!! I'm glad you had a whole day to sew and relax. That can do so much to lift your spirits!
I picked up that pattern as well last Friday and intend to make a queen size version with the Strawberry Fields line...love that quilt.
Nothing like a day in your sewing room...good therapy! And you got a fresh, summery quilt from it.
Well I must say to you...well done! I like your hubby's attitude! Hugs dear friend!!!
Love what your hubby said! [Although *some* of us might need a backhoe to dig that hole! :)] Love your quilt! It's gorgeous!
This is gorgeous! I am happy you got a day to sew.
Very pretty Darlene. Your piecing is always prestine.
Great advice from DH - you better keep him!
Ohh I love this. So pretty and Darlene - good for you! Delightful day.
Yes, it is good therapy to "dig a hole"! LOL
I love your top.
You have a smart husband, love the new pattern and the fabrics are just prefect. Strawberry Fields is a gorgeous line.
I've started a quilt you did a very long time ago and I've never forgotten it. Square Deal has been on my list since I saw yours. I put away the fabrics and now I've got a few blocks finished, it's very shabby looking. Thanks!
I really like it in that fabric!
I'm glad you found some time to sew. And I'm tellin' you...we need to have a messing quilting room contest. Everyone who enters has to pay $5-10. And the winner of the messiest room gets a professional organizer hired to clean up their mess...hahahaha!
Love it! I'm so glad you got to unwind and sew! :-) Perfect pattern for your Strawberry Fields. Have a happy day!
that came out nice. i love cluck cluck sew patterns! i just noticed you are in AZ~hi neighbor! i'm in mesa. keep cool, my friend.
I'm about to follow your advice and Dig a Hole. My sewing room was already a disaster, then I brought home all the stuff from my office and it landed in there. THen we had plumbling problems and a wet floor yesterday, so some extra stuff landed in there. I really really need to sew, so off I go! Gald your day was so productive, and you ended up with such pretties.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the pattern....and Im so glad you had a good day and got to sew all day....after last week...you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Terrific advice from Ron! Extra delicious blocks from a savory day of sewing. Wonderful.
Oh so pretty, love those fabrics.
Look at you go! That quilt top is beautiful! :0)
LOVE IT!! Glad you got in there and enjoyed your sewing day.
I'm so glad that you had a wonderful day sewing. Good for the DH!
What a lovely day for you. It sounds like it was just what the doctor ordered. And the results speak for themselves. Very nice!
Oh I covet this one! Great combo of fabric and pattern. Off to buy this pattern for me -- Have a great week!
That is so cute! I did find her patterns and they are all so fun! I really like yours in Strawberry Fields- nice!!!
Wheh - I thought he meant dig a hole to bury all your stuff in! Very cute quilt!
Glad that you dug your way in and out:)
This is a beauty and is a pattern where the blocks could be sewn by a group and then squared up to the same size. So glad you had a chance to re-energize in the sewing room!
Your lovely new quilt is an inspiration! Beautiful:)
Absolutely adorable!
I like digging holes. lol
Love your quilt.
So pretty! Love the pattern and the colors.
Just found your fun blog. Great fabrics, lovely quilts and the rabbits have such personality!
best, nadia
I love that quilt and pattern both! So proud of you that you bit the bullet and sewed all day! What a sacrifice, huh?
What a gorgeous quilt, Darlene.
SO pretty Darlene! I wish I could combine your quilt and my quilt and have a King size Strawberry Fields quilt! It turned out great - Allison
