So so sorry!!! Losing you Dad is so tough! I'm thinking of you and understand where you are!! Sometimes when I need to just "listen to the rythmn of the machine" I sew together plain 4 1/2 in blocks, then I make a strip, then another. Just blocks and strips. Then I put them my UFO's. Some day they may make a quilt. Maybe not! But it helps me. Hang in there!
