What is your favorite part of the day? I'm not much of a morning person, but I have found that the older I get, the earlier I wake up. What is that about? I've always been a night owl, staying up to punch or hook until midnight or better, but lately I can't keep my eyes open past 10:00. I tell you this because night time, right after dinner is my favorite time of day. There's nothing better than finishing dinner, cleaning the kitchen and having a full night of what I call "chair time". I love my chair time. I love the anticipation of starting a new project, or continuing or finishing a project. My husband often says "why are you doing that? You're still working!" There could be nothing further from the truth. Chair time and my punch needle or hook is my decompression. I can keep my hands busy while my brain rests.
I did put the finishing touches on this cute pattern for me to actually hang in my own home. It is called "tombstone sunflower" and is a Spruce Ridge Studio adaptation of a Lori Brechlin design. I love it!
And though I post a LOT on Facebook and have shown this many times before I thought I'd share my Antique Coverlet #2 with you here on the blog in case you are not a facebooker. Mom refused to hook this one as she felt there was too much math in it, (not really), so I had to do it. It is probably the most satisfying design I've ever done from inception to completion. I'm very proud of it!
So, that's what I've been doing to keep my hands busy. What's your favorite time of day and what are you working on?
Until next time.....

Love the coverlet on the table, hoping to draw out some pumpkins to hook

That coverlet design is beautiful!! I'm a new hooker, how is math involved in the design?
When I was working, evenings were my favourite time to work on projects but now I do as I please whenever I please. I'm currently working on some wool appliqué and about to add borders on three quilts as part as the Gwennie Medalliom QAL. All will have applied for the final borders. Got get moving on them.
OMG your coverlet is stunning.
My favorite time of day is the morning. I am currently working on a Lori Brechlin freebie of a bowl holding sunflowers and flags. I love patriotic in dirty colors.
I am a early morning person but I too love knowing that after the supper dishes are done I have the rest of the evening to punch or hook. Pure heaven! At least until around 9:30 or so!
Thanks Karen! See you next month!
Thank you!
Thank you Rosemary! There really isn't math, mom thought there was, there are just a lot of lines and you must not stray from those lines. She doesn't really care for hooking geometrics which this one could certainly qualify.
Sounds wonderful Sandi!
Thank you Jacqueline! I'm not really a morning person, though sunrises are beautiful! I love the dirty colors too!
Like I said above Patti, I'm definitely not a morning person. Both my husband and Mom are morning people....it never rubbed off on me, lol!
