A Leaf A Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Make that a leaf and a half a day.

That is all I have been able to applique, at most, since mid February... and not necessarily every day. Some weeks, I only get a couple of leaves appliqued on this block of Botanika by Robyn Pandolph.

This is one of our centerpiece rocks in the old rose garden in the back yard. I was pulling weeds around the rock and uncovered a not-so-happy nest of fire ants.

Fire ants and a brisk wind meant no pretty picture to share with you... just a Snap and Snatch.

I'm certainly not tired of this block! It is easy to take with me because I don't have to look at the pattern, and I have a big stack of the three different fabrics cut in leaf shapes. I feel driven to finish this block and get onto the next one.

*Sigh* Sewing is such marvelous therapy, and I am missing my therapy sessions!  Thankfully, for now, even just a leaf a day is still keeping the men in white jackets away.
