I have to quote my brother: "Who knew that our usual lifestyle is called 'quarantine' by other people?"
The main difference is not that I'm staying home most of the time, but that I can't just hop in the car and go buy a spool or thread or some fabric on a whim until this thing passes. I could look upon it as being stuck or I can take advantage of all the time to focus on what I have been unable to get done in the past because of other distractions and duties. I've been doing pretty much what I always do, but getting a little more sewing done and stash busting in the process because it's easier than mail order. I've been spurred on by the birth of our precious granddaughter in January. We are saddened that we only got to visit with her one time and then we hit this forced change in lifestyle. She and her brother and parents are 4 1/2 hours away by car, but it might as well be the far side of the planet. I made her a quilt and some baby clothes and a couple of shirts for her brother and then I started sewing for another baby born Feb. 24, my brother's first great grandson. I got his quilt done, too, and a few more baby clothes. It's such fun, and such a nice distraction from all the sad news. Next will be finishing a large quilt UFO that I haven't touched in a year. It's almost half quilted.
