Why is it that when you have some time off work you get sick? The flu bug has hit me and I have been feeling pretty miserable. With the flu I couldn't possibly do housework or anything labourous so what's a girl to do? Sew...... I decided that Sunday was the day to stay in my PJ's and try to put together my brick quilt. It only contains 363 bricks so how hard could it be?
Just 33 rows of 11 blocks and 11 seams to match each row........
So 6 hours later my brick quilt was finished. I almost gave up with 10 rows to go but I knew that it would end up back in the UFO pile if I did so I kept going.......
It is a massive 78" square and will look great on my bed once it gets back from being quilted.
Yesterday whilst watching my footy team win by 2 points I did some more work on my Geisha girl - She is looking very cute.
How was your Easter? I hope you got to spend some time with those you love and got to stitch a bit.
Have a wonderful week.
Hugs - Fee XX

You've done very well considering you are sick! Love the brick quilt as I said over at Sew its Finished- would work so well with scraps as well (though maybe not as speedy). Cute geisha. Fortunately I had 5 days off and didnt have to waste any of it watching football (of any kind)

Your quilt looks amazing and Miss Geisha is too cute. Sorry you have been unwell. I think you get sick when you have days off because it's harder to hit a moving target when you are on the go working. Hope you feel better soon.
