fridays used to mean a lot more in days gone by but at present it's another day--albeit nice and summery--to keep oneself amused. with various events in our nation this week, and being inspired by blog photos, pulled out my big applique project....new england sampler.
it's one of my oldest UFOs and the goal is to have the top completely done and possibly basted by year's end. i'm finding the hand sewing very relaxing and calming in the midst of chaos all around. i was tempted to start a new applique piece but nope, the focus on this corona-cation is entirely UFOs.
this week has been very unsettling for me. i am sick of hearing about restaurants opening while fitness centers are still not available. it appears the powers that be would rather you stuff yourself rather than improve your health. there are 80+ restaurants in my downtown area alone. the management of my residential situation have completely lost their minds with the wacky restrictions here. the media--TV and print--are simply rabble rousers intent on fueling every little injustice. those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. i pray every day that God would have mercy on the USA. I've lamented often about having no grandchildren but after this week, i am relieved....
There is just too much worry at present..... Keep stitching
ReplyDeletethank you kind words
DeleteThis quilt is so charming, Grace. Just love it.
ReplyDeletethanks...
DeleteThat is sweet, Grace. Makes me think of a "Home Sweet Home" cross-stitch sampler.
ReplyDeleteI'm really UFO focused, too (other than an occasional mini thrown in here and there).
My soul yearns for peace and harmony. I pray for it daily.
it really makes me think of new england...thanks janet
ReplyDeleteHmmm....do you have backing fabric for your lovely sammpler? I have a piece of vintage fabric with faux cross stitch sampler pictures -- that nostalgic Early American decor that itself is vintage (1960s).
ReplyDeleteno i dont...send photo...would be perfect maybe
