Após ter certeza que a cor escolhida por Angela, para o mês de Setembro, era realmente laranja, peguei os retalhos estreitos, com menos de 1,5 polegadas de largura para fazer alguns String Blocks.
Os blocos de tiras são super fáceis de fazer. E, para mim funcionaram como desestressante ... que semana difícil tivemos por aqui.
Não basta estarmos em plena pandemia com mais 585.900 mortes. Ainda temos que enfrentar uma grave crise política e econômica. Talvez vocês tenham acompanhado as notícias desta semana, aconteceram coisas muito graves por aqui.
Infelizmente também, estamos no final do inverno que foi muito seco este ano, e estamos a beira de um colapso hídrico e energético.
Para piorar, o número de incêndios de mata natural (claro que provocado por ação do homem) é record, somente ontem foram 550 novos focos de incêndio no Estado onde moro e aqui na cidade mal conseguíamos ver o horizonte de tanta fumaça e fuligem no ar, parecia cena de filmes apocalípticos, muito triste. Estamos perdendo nosso maior patrimônio, a natureza.
Bem, mas vamos deixar tudo isso de lado.
Voltando aos blocos de tiras, foram estes os que consegui fazer, usando meus retalhos.

Sewing and quilting is a great way to stay away from the craziness of the World... Lovely orange string blocks!
Your string blocks are lovely. Orange is my favourite colour!
These are very difficult and worrying times.
I love your string blocks! It's going to be a great quilt. I'm sorry you're having so much trouble. Everything in the world seems to be a mess right now. Here's hoping it's better soon. (If I could send some of our rain, I would!)
oh no fires for your country too - what is going on in the world! here it is getting so dry I keep hoping we do not get fires in our state so far we have been lucky - in our world it seems if it is not covid it is fires, droughts, and flooding!!
I love your orange string blocks, Ivani, and I'm glad you find sewing them to be a stress reliever! That works for me, too. There's a lot to worry about in our world these days.
oh no... just like here! pandemic, fires, lack of water, political issues. Your orange strips are happy though. I wrote last week, a story involving my granny piecing onto old telephone book paper.
awesome orange string blocks!
No wonder you are so stressed, with so much craziness happening in your country. Stay calm, and take comfort in your stitching, and know that your fellow RSC girls are all sending you love and support in these turbulent times.
Awesome ORANGE blocks in spite of what's going on around you, Ivani! You made great use of some of your smallest fabric scraps. LOVE the spots, dots, and that sweet little flower!
Ugh! I had no idea that you were having fires too. The US has lots of fires burning right now and here, in the heart of the country, we have very hazy skies. Thankfully it is so high up in the sky that it does not bother our breathing here but out west is a different story. Your string blocks look wonderful!
Stitching is a great stress reliever. Still, it's hard to enjoy when there are so many other things not going well. Hope you get some much needed rain soon.
