Planning to get back to it today - in much better spirits.
Prayers for you, Martina. It is hard to lose a fur-baby - they are just as much our family as the people in our lives. Sometimes I think it's harder, as we can't communicate our love so completely to them.
Well, I finished piecing the Dr. Seuss quilt, and rummaged through my stash to come up with some backing. I have someone interested in buying it, so that's a good thing too.
Some of the scraps are polka-dots, and I also have other polka-dot scraps from the embroidered animals quilt. I'm putting them into the "Metro Medallion" pattern from Sew Kind of Wonderful. I've found enough stash to do the setting fabric as well as backing. Altogether, it comes to about 9-10 yards used, and it's all from my stash.
Being out of work is both good and bad... good, because I have time to work in the garden and my sewing room, bad because I'm stressing about paying the bills.
