Not exactly the relaxing holiday weekend we had planned, since the main drain on the house failed and we wound up spending most of today (Sunday) dealing with that and extra expensive holiday weekend hour emergency plumbing costs. But at least it got fixed so we can run water in the house, so I will take that as a win. I had grand plans of getting my Sparrows quilt completely assembled, but that didn’t happen. Here’s what I did get done this week.

Sparrows: I managed to get the head sections and body sections all assembled. Just the tails are left, and I am hopeful I can get the last 8 blocks completely finished up tomorrow on the Monday holiday.

Lite Bright: Quite a bit of progress on this. I’m using a 3-color fade, and I have started the transition section moving from the brighter pink of the top to the softer, peachy-pink of section two. The compound raglan shaping at the shoulders is done and the whole thing is joined in the round, so I will just knit around and around for a while. (This will eventually fade into a blue with some pink speckles.)

Supernova: Really enjoying this English paper-piecing project but it does take time to do. I have started adding/assembling the rainbow stars around the center medallion and I’m about a third of the way through those.

Finally, A Long Winter’s Nap cross-stitch was out for a bit. I put in several hundred stitches since it came up on my Tiny Decisions app a couple of nights this week. It currently looks like this and I am SO close to the 50% mark!

That’s it for me this week. No progress on the Jane Austen quilt or the Oscar cardigan, but maybe they will get some time in the spotlight this week.

If you’re here in the US, hope you are having a nice Memorial Day weekend.
