how do you like that title?  Blocks and chickens? Watch my podcast for all of that!

Are you learning something new? I'm watching a video series on the history of K-Pop. I don't know much about K-Pop music, so it is really interesting to learn about the artists and how the music developed. Then to see how it became popular around the world. If you want to learn about it watch this Youtube original series https://www.youtube.com/playlistKPop

***Sewcialites Block #27***

This block is called Earnest.  We have a running family job, you are doing a job 'with Earnest' and Earnest is a great worker, except on the days he sluffs off and goes home early 🤪  silly right? Do you have family jokes like that, that nobody but you gets?

💌 Charity Quilt Along Row #3

Do you have Cabin fever? I do have making these darling blocks with a log cabin in the middle!

We might have Cabin fever in more than one sense! I'm anxious to get out in the garden but April keeps going back and forth with the cold and warm, and rain, rain... rain... rain.. I know I will stop soon and be lovely, but... I'm not patient!

In my podcast today (watch below) I tell you about my 'work station' set up today and creating a habit, curious if you are like me?

*** Serendipity Charity Sew along Week 3 ***

I talk about 'NOT' cutting off our points today, and show you the back of the block in my podcast today, for those of who LOVE seeing backs of blocks... you know who you are, wink wink!

At the end are all the links for downloads and the videos the Fat Quarter shop is doing for the Charity sew along
