This entire CQJP project I have been working in threes. Not really intentionally but it has worked out that way and I like it. I put down the laces and trims on three blocks and then do the blocks one by one for the rest of the embellishment.. DH has been gone all week and one of those days I stayed in my nightclothes most of the day and just stitched. It felt so decadent.
Lower left is the October block which I may indeed finish in October which I did not think possible last month. Usually I get kind of tired of a theme or color scheme after this many blocks but these have been very restful colors and the challenge of the ribbon folding technique has really peaked my interest all along.
Enough that the next CQJP project will not have a theme as such but be focused on technique. I must be on the road to recovery as I am actually having pain-free (well almost pain free) coherent thoughts. The therapy on the shoulder is going well, the ribs are mostly healed and the bruising on the rest of my body has faded..

Glad you are starting to feel better, and your blocks are coming along lovely.
I sometimes have Pyjama Days in my holidays. It started when I had young children and they would look forward to the school holidays in winter. It was a special treat to stay in our pyjamas all day and play board games etc by the fire, while the weather was awful outside. Both my boys have left home but I still have my Pyjama Days every now and then.
so good to read you are so well on the recovery road, it has been an nasty time for you. Blocks look good, I have not done the challenge this year but the previous 2 I made all the blocks at once and then did the crazyness each month, maybe I will do them again next year.Here it is not unusual for people to stay in pyjamas all day, the supermarkets have banned people from going in, seems Mums would take their kids to school still in pyyjamas then go on to do their shopping!!
Very glad that your body is finally healing and that you're feeling more like your usual creative self. And having a PJ day isn't a bad thing...wish I could do the same, BUT....that would be just the time that someone would come to the door and I wouldn't want to shock them because I don't wear PJ's.....
Glad to hear you are getting better. I have lots of pj days - I get up and start sewing and don't realize how late its getting until lunch time....and then its almost too late to bother (grin). The blocks are looking great. I love the purple ribbon at the top on the October block.
So glad to hear that you are healing Gerry. My Jim is away for a week too so I'm busy getting re-connected with friends and family. The only day I have that I could stay in pajamas all day is Wednesday so maybe I'll take a page out of your book.
