A Quilting Reader's Garden

What I've been up to as of 7/18/21

It's been a while - How are you? I've been pretty busy with my Mom, but she's in Houston for two weeks. The weather has been hot - 103 today. My poor plants are barely making it. Here's a few things I've been able to manage:

Our St. Anne's Sewdality finally got to meet in person again a couple of weeks ago. This is a church group that gets together once a month to make baby quilts for low income families in our parish. I had one to turn in plus 3 quilt tops for members to work on. Here's mine - you've seen it before, but not finished:

and the back:

Here's one of the 25 turned in - all from scraps! We were quarantined but busy.

I finished and am quilting my panel challenge for our guild meeting next Tuesday. This will be our first in person meeting since March of 2020. We had zoom meetings, but it's just not the same. I'll share a photo next time.

Hope you are all well and staying cool if you are in the contiguous US. Wherever you are, I send Blessings and hugs,

Got a row or two done on it. What are you up to?

Hello, I know it's been awhile. Days are so different right now. Not too much time for quilting as I am caregiving my 95 year-old Mom who has progressive dementia. My sister takes two days and I take two days - my brothers do the other three. My stressor is I live an hour away and the traffic is terrible. That's what I dread. I've taken to spending the night between my two days to cut down on the driving. I wish I could have her at my house, but she wants to stay with her things around her, so we all agree it is better this way for now. We are grateful she still remembers all four of us. When I'm home I do try to do some sewing even if it's only 10 minutes a day. So here is what I've managed to move forward on:

I finished quilting my medallion quilt. It still needs to be bound. Got the strips cut - just have to join them and get to it. Geesh -no photo of the front taken - here's two that kind of show the quilting - LOL did too good a job in picking thread that blends.
