Update
Hello Friends, since my last post more than a year ago, I became my husband's primary caregiver along with a team of wonderful people who helped along the way--first and foremost my family. The Essex County NY Office for the Aging provided nursing care, physical therapy, and meals; SUNY Plattsburgh provided respite care so I could have some time to myself, an aide provided personal care, made breakfast and did laundry, and our local EMTs assisted more times than I can count. It was a long and arduous journey that ended on Christmas Eve. We almost made it to our 63rd anniversary.
During the year I made a few small pieces and was obsessed with buying quilt tops and Yo-Yo quilts on Ebay and Etsy. I also enjoyed participating in Dana's Auctions I realized how much I missed blogging as it helped me keep track of what I had accomplished so this is more or less a partial "catching up post." Besides, I feel the need to reconnect with the quilting world and my blogging friends :-)
Call Me Crazy
I finally finished Call Me Crazy. It was longarm quilted by Dawn D. of Cabin Creek Stitchery in Upper Jay, NY.
Oh, That Green!
Leftover star blocks alternating with my remaining poison green fabrics. Inspiration came from an antique.
Windmills and Such
Just a whole lotta scraps and hsts.
Pink & Green Baby Quilt
Made for my daughter's co-worker's baby. Bright 60s fabrics with white and pink paw print border.
On A Whim
A quick mini.
That's it for now. I plan on being back again in 2-3 weeks with another update and projects to share.
Have a wonderful 4th!

ReplyDeleteWelcome back to our shrinking world of quilt bloggers. You were missed, and my condolences on your loss. We have a local griefshare group and it has helped several friends, one being a member of our quilting ministry, to navigate the inevitable periods of hardship after a loved one's loss. I recall when you began the Call me Crazy top, your finished quilt is pure joy to see and study all the combinations of blocks and colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I'm looking forward to blogging again. It felt so good to finish Call Me Crazy. I made 50 paper foundation pieced blocks and used some extra scrappy blocks for the center. All were 6" and fit well together. Happy 4th!
