Hey, I think my "Mojo" may be back. You see, I haven't really done much sewing or embroidery. I normally always do embroidery work at night during the week while watching TV and then do my piecing, etc. on the weekends. I have not done this in a while. I guess I had a "temporary" loss of interest. Not really loss of interest, but loss of "want to".
I am doing the Bunny Hill BOM (see side bar). I was doing GREAT and getting each month's block done. Then it happened, I fell behind. Well, my dear friend, Molly, has been working on hers and inspired me. I have got the other four blocks together and now I am stitching them down with the buttonhole stitch. I will add all the embellishments (ribbon, buttons, etc.) after the quilt is complete and quilted (those things tend to get in the way of a machine quilter).
Here is a 'not very good' picture of the first 3 blocks complete (except for embellishments) and the next four that are in the process of being stitched down. I'm pumped! My Mojo has returned! Thanks Molly!
I know what you are really thinking: 'wonder why she doesn't get that lint roller and clean all those threads off that design wall?' LOL! I've been thinking about it! Does that count?

They look good. I too joined the BOM but only got as far as February!! Whoops a lot of catching up to do there!!!
The baskets all look great. I thought I was going to do this BOM too but didn't even finish the first block but I'm saving the patterns for future use. And I know that feeling of lack of interest, it must be going around.
Your blocks are beautiful! I think its just summer, I just don't feel like doing much and then I really get excided about quilting or knitting and then its back not feeling like doing anything!
Lovely baskets! i am glad your Mojo is back!
Happy summer!

You are doing such a great job with your blocks. I have three done and machine appliqued: still that the hand embroidery to do. I haven't done that in 35-40 years so it will be something of a challenge.
Awesome, Kathey!! I need to get some MoJo here and seeing your post is giving me a much-needed reminder to get going on these blocks and my own, too. :-)
Glad you got your Mojo back! Your baskets look great! I am a bit behind on my baskets at the moment, but maybe this will push me a little so I can catch up. Thanks!
Kathy, you're doing great....better than I am....I don't know what happened to all my energy.....yes, I do. I'm not around my "wacky" girlfriends...LOL...Keep up the great work...I'll catch up in August.....maybe.
It's good to have friends who inspire us and encourage us! Those baskets are adorable....nice work!
