if you follow this blog, this piece will be familiar....the new england sampler. waiting on thread for the next hand quilting project, so spending time trying to get this to a flimsy....it's one of my very oldest UFOs and needs to be done.
this will be the last post titled 'corona-cation' because, let's face it, it's no vacation. it is the way of life now for the foreseeable future. it stinks, but there you have it. heard this week that the church where our quilt group meets is now off limits until at least february....nasty face masks are part of the wardrobe and endless testing reports are just plain boring. my plans for the fall are practically none....except continue with my exercise regime and hack away at UFOs. i do hope to take a few day trips around the area for a change of scenery. if things worsen, well, there's always zoloft....now that alcohol is off limits...LOL!
It’s lovely Grace. Slow and steady wins the race!
ReplyDeletethanks....
Deletelovely quilt......its good to be able to get an old one closer to the finish line......
ReplyDeleteyes I do wonder when times will be able to go back to the old ways.......
It's no vacation, that is for sure. Now that my employer has ordered us home until the end of the year, now I am no longer working from home because of corona, I am just now working from home.
ReplyDeleteAnd unbeknownst to me, I like working from home. And if they expect me to drive back into the office in the wintertime in Illinois, they need to rethink their priorities! LOL!
The NE sampler is nearly there! And you deserve a treat for getting so many UFOs moved along.
ReplyDeleteYour sampler is WONDERFUL! I adore it, your work is just lovely. Christmas 101 has inspired me to pull out a very old (25 yrs.?+)applique project entitled "The Adoration". I bought the first kit/block at a quilt shop in historic downtown Staunton, VA and subscribed to the subsequent block kits. I paid a FORTUNE for that, doing it that way, at the time and never have completed it. It's in a basket gathering dust, perhaps I need to gather some momentum myself and finish it up for Christmas this year, or at least make a stab at it. Thanks, Grace!!
ReplyDeleteYour sampler quilt is looking so pretty! I think you are making wonderful progress.
ReplyDeleteThat Christmas Nativity quilt is really a sweet representation of our Savior's birth.
Your New England sampler looks great. It takes a lot of patience and commitment to stitch the vines, leaves, and flowers in the border. But, of course, so worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteI don't like face masks, either, but there's not much chance of getting around without them for a while, at least. I don't take any medications but hey, Zoloft seems like it could be an option. ;-)
