I'm taking a break from my black hole of a Crocus Lace Blanket to make a dent in another vacuous hole of a project. This is The Beekeeper's Quilt. You make literally hundreds of these little "hexipuff" pillows that are stuffed with polyfil and then you sew them all together to make a "quilt". I think this is much more practical as a seat or couch cushion/liner rather than a blanket. I'm starting small and shooting only for a seat cushion for my sewing room chair. The pattern says a 2 x 2 foot quilt requires 102 puffs. I have 11 and it takes me about 45 minutes to make one. I have a way to go! I do love this project because it is mindless and portable, plus I'm using up all my beautiful Koigu and various sock yarn scraps!
I spent Monday in bed with the dog and that flu-been-hit-by-a-truck-feeling. I felt awful and accomplished absolutely nothing and I can't stand that. Dave surprised me by bringing me home a donut and these roses! I don't think he's given me flowers since we moved into the house and I just love them! What a guy!
