The colour for this months scrap challenge is teal. I’m currently using teal in my Blue Ridge Beauty and in my Sweet Dreams quilt so I only had a small amount of scraps to use up.
I’m enjoying making these blocks. Its a simple, relaxing pattern to put together.
I’ve only got five weeks to go at work. Mentally I feel like I’ve already left. I’m regularly sleeping 8-9 hours a night now after years of living on 6 hours sleep plus weekend naps. It’s so nice not to wake up thinking about work, instead I wake up thinking about retirement, sewing, gardening, travelling etc.

That's a really cute block. Looks versatile, too. I like it.
Isn't it amazing to be so close to retirement? And right on time too! Spring and SUmmer will be so different for you this year.
Your countdown is close. I know for you will be deep in fall. What's your first plans for your weeks? The teal will make a beautiful quilt.
Hope you enjoy your retirement. Pretty blocks – the little daffodils are very apt for my garden at present as they are starting to open out.
Beautiful aqua fabrics and blocks.
It sounds like you are already enjoying retirement. The weight has already lifted.
Wishing you a very happy retirement, those last few weeks will surely go by very quickly. Do hope your company gives you a great send off.
Its from Bonnie Hunters Carolina Chain, nice and simple to sew!
oh yes, its amazing that its finally here, it will be a much more relaxing time this year 🙂
I'm really looking forward to not having to rush to get ready for work in the mornings, just to get up, go for a walk, take as long as I like over breakfast & a shower, enjoy sitting out on the verandah with a cuppa. Slowing down first and then giving the house a good declutter I think.
thanks Jenny, it's so nice to winding down now at work and the days are passing quickly.
yes, I think now that I've handed back the management duties I was doing last year it feels like I'm finished. It certainly less stressful now that I'm just finalising things.
thanks Maggie, its such a lovely colour to use.
I love the start of spring in the garden. I've just ordered some bulbs to plant for spring as we are going into Autumn here.
HOw fun wish I had time to quilt. Can't wait to see more!
