Are you rowing?

Are you rowing along with Bee in my Bonnet blog?  I'd promised myself that I wasn't going to start anything else until I got my scrappy stars with Terry done, my Designer Mystery BOM and my own scrappy star project but I rationalized it with "it's only 1 row every 2 weeks"....  LOL 

Well, I started last week because I'd lost a week somewhere along the way and the night I finished I saw that Lori had put up the next row.  I cut them out Wednesday but we had a power outage on Thursday so NOTHING got done then.  I worked a little bit on them last night but finished up this afternoon.

NOW, they're just blocks right now.  Apparently I have to make spacer strips, flip every other block sideways and then make a sashing strip for the top and bottom of the row.....

I haven't looked at the Flickr page to see what the others are using for their blocks but I'm desperately trying to use up my 30's fabrics so that's what I'm using along with Kona white.  I did buy a small piece of a grey on grey to use for the butterfly bodies since I really didn't have anything that I felt was appropriate.  Lori used a solid grey but I wanted a little something extra on it.....

I also want to show you what my daughter Sarah  is doing these days.  She paints, I sew.....  She redid an old end table for my other daughter Jennifer in a yellow with a black glaze over it for her bedroom.  Jen had seen a bedroom on PINTEREST and wanted to recreate it so Sarah painted the nightstand and I made the yellow quilt for the end of the bed.  Then, for herself,  she got an old 2 drawer file cabinet and painted that to look like a phone booth.  It will go nicely in her London themed bedroom with her tv stand, which is an old dresser painted too.....
