Civil War Blocks

A very unproductive sewing week. I seem to have been pulled always with my FIL now in hospital.As my son and I are his only living relative here it all falls on us to deal with the situation The other added complication is he lives 80 miles away. Still the hospital is the safest place for him right now and hopefully the powers that be will now put a suitable care plan in place for him.

I have made my Barbara Brackman Civil War block 9 and glad under the circumstances it was another easy one. The pile is growing and am liking how it is looking.

Not on the sewing front I did have some success on Monday and sat on the computer for 2 1/4 hours trying to buy tickets for Jamie Cullum's concert in Cheltenham . The Festivals new computer system couldn't handle the volume of hits and kept crashing. I did however get 2 tickets so I am happy so roll on the Jazz Festival in May it is going to be in an outside arena and is going to be filmed.

    I love the subdued tones you are using for the Civil War blocks! I think the 2 blocks I made will go into another project. All the best as you deal with your FIL.
