This has been a long week. A long two weeks. You might read here if you're interested about why I've been hand sewing everything I can while in the hospital.
I finished my "Judy" blocks but haven't sewn them into a row yet. They make me happy, all lined up together. Now I need to ponder what I'll put in between these blocks and the next color. I have maybe 100 1.5" squares of blue I could make into something, but what, I don't know!
I added a few sampler blocks from Angela.
One more 2" block was added, a carryover Rainbow Scrap project from last year.
Not pictured, I made myself a new skirt (blue!), and while in the hospital, hand stitched the waistband and yards of hem. I always resort to machine stitching for both, but I needed my hands busy while waiting.
Finally, my daughter has been hand piecing a scarf for her godmother, my best friend besides my husband. This is the long strip of four patches and squares. While in the hospital, I've been finishing it for her, as she is getting tired of it. I do sew a bit faster than she does!
Be sure to check out the other scrappy projects that are part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

You've had quite a turmoil of a week. So sorry to hear about your grandmother. I hope your mum is recovering well from her surgery. You did so well to get some stitching done. Great blocks too. Hang in there.

Hand stitching is the best way to survive hospital waiting.
