I had a virtual visit with my dr & got a round of steroids. I felt better after the first day, so I did some sewing on a Christmas tree wall hanging I'm making as a surprise for my friend, K. I'm using scraps from Fat Quarter Shop's Jelly Snowflake quilt. Although, as a science teacher, I can't call mine a snowflake. The finished quilt has 8 points, and all snowflakes have 6 points. So I call mine Frozen Fractal since it is a pleasing geometric shape. (Just not a snowflake!) I'm cutting the 2.5" inch strips into squares for the tree body & using beige strips for background, plus some brown scraps from my stash. No fabric has been purchased for this project! It may completely deplete my Christmas fabric, causing a slight reduction in my fabric closet.
