864 Leaf Cut-Outs and 1 Blister Later (PIP)
And I've finished 1 out of 36 blocks for my friend's wedding gift:

I'm also going to show off my other recent accomplishments:

A sampler of the Little Leaves pattern to see if I really liked it and could actually applique. I will be turning it into a wall hanging for my project room.

This will eventually become a cat bed for our living room but I was mostly making it to play with pinwheels.
An apron for a friend's birthday gift. And finally:
Some funny looking stuffed pumpkins made out of vintage material I inherited from my Grandma. Hooray for Fall!

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
