Judith, I'm sorry for the loss of your dear companion. We miss them so much when they're gone.
I decided I needed to finish the En Provence quilt for a family that recently lost their wife/mother unexpectedly, so that is going to keep me tied up for quite a while. Usually I don't mind being a slow quilter, but in this case I wish I could move along more quickly.
I bought backing for two quilts this week, which means I now have backings on hand for all of my finished tops!
