Hi friends!
Today I tried to slow things down. I spent a little time this morning reading and snuggling with the animals. Then chatting with friends and I got around to sewing a little this afternoon.
If you have been following me on Instagram, you have seen the red and white blocks I have been sewing.

I mentioned the #christmascountdownsewalong in this post last week and I have been keeping up so far each day with making the blocks.
But, let me tell you, they are tough! They are only 4 ½” so …. you can imagine how small some of the HST and flying geese units are!
This is today’s block.
Disclaimer: my blocks are not perfect!

To get an idea of the size, here is an image of the HST units next to a quarter.
