This n That

Are you still locked down?  Still in quarantine?  Our County Board of Supervisors voted to open our county last week.  Even though I've gone nowhere but the grocery store, I feel different.  It's odd how much a proclamation can do to change things, even if it's only words.  Perhaps this week I will go out and about, to see if anything really is different.

I haven't made any masks recently, but two were called into service last week, when one of the grands needed to visit the doctor.

My daughters-in-law have both been called back to work, so that is exciting.  I'm hopeful that other places of business will also lift their restrictions.

In the meantime, I'm still sewing daily.  I made a few more cards, though I haven't sent them all.

 These were made for a mother/daughter duo.  I found a beautiful dresser linen that looked like someone took a bite from the middle.  I couldn't pass it by, since I knew parts could still be useful.

 That pretty purple reminds me of a flower picture my husband sent.  It is the flower of an eggplant.  Isn't it cute?

Here is another card, that I made with trims from the Covid Mystery quilt top I made last month.

 I found the flamingo at an estate sale sometime last year.  I thought this was the perfect place for him to hang out.

 I've also gone back to doing some collage work, with fabric scraps.  This was inspired by my garden.  Each time I look at it, I smile.

And, last, but not least, I continue to hand quilt 3 hours each day.  I've taken a few days off, when my fingers just can't continue, but I'm making good progress.  I hope to finish this quilt before we hit July.  Goals are good!

And that's all I've got for now.  Be safe, but don't be scared.  Go outside, take a big breath of fresh air.  Summer is almost here, and the days are looking brighter.

Happy Quilting!
