This week, I was temporarily waylaid by a virulent stomach bug, just in time to have to cancel birthday visitor plans. Fortunately, I'm well now and no one else is sick, so all's well that ends well.
On the good days, I hand quilted by purple orphan block. It will be a pin cushion to put by the Assistant's machine. Why I decided to hand quilt it, I don't know. Because I could? And it would look pretty?
Since the above blocks were so quick, I made a start at my mini 9s. They are going well too!
My Garden Party blocks positively flew out from under my needle. I'm looking forward to the development of this one!

Finally, in scrappy land, my goal for the week was to baste "Spelling Bee," a quilt I made entirely from orphan blocks, scraps, and small hunks of fabric in white, yellow, black, or grey. Basting took longer with PK, but it was still manageable. Friday, when I was feeling better (and ignoring chores since it was my birthday), I managed to quilt the entire thing!
Finally, per Angela's request, here's a few links for you:
My all-time favorite rainbow scrap quilt, a 16-patch.
My Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts from 2016, all in links on this post from last week.
And of course, go back and look at everyone else's projects!

Happy belated birthday. So sorry you got the dreaded bug but so happy no one else in the house got it. Enjoy the sewing time.
Thanks for those links. So many great scrappy quilts.
Happy Birthday, Katie!! Glad you're feeling better - and it's amazing what you can get done even when you don't feel well - just amazing - ;))
Happy birthday! (And how awful to be sick for your birthday...)
I really adore your spelling bee quilt! I've been admiring it right along since you started it!
Happy Birthday, Katie! What a sweet use for an orphan block, as a pincushion for your apprentice in sewing!
Wow! Spelling Bee quilted in a day - I'm in awe!
Congrats on getting Spelling Bee all quilted. It's a very bright and fun quilt. Sorry you had the stomach gunk, no fun. Happy belated Birthday. Hope you had a very nice day.
