Its been since March since I have posted. Sorry for the long absence, I have been faithfully reading the posts and have been enjoying reading everyone's success. I do have finally have a finish that I became a UFO this year.
To use Oksewglad and Quossom's format, this is my finish.
The Quilt - I'm going with the original name of the pattern by Brenda Plaster Tumbling Jacks the original post is here
https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictur...lt-t311629.htm way back on 7/4/20. At that time I was just finishing up my treatments.
Why it became a UFO Back March when I kind of disappeared from the internet I was diagnosed with stage 1B breast cancer the day before our 39th anniversary on March 21. I started my chemo on April 2nd and for the next 4 months I was getting treatments every 3 weeks. We also had Covid-19 happening at the same time, fortunately DH was still working and we had awesome insurance. My energy was low and the idea of trying to sew or anything that required thought was out of the question. I had finished the top back in February I think and sent it to Brenda for quilting. She returned it to me and it has sat folded up in the sewing room. since. Connecting Threads finally posted the pattern and I was able to show it in July but it did not have the binding.
Why I finished it and it's fate, I have finished all my treatments, the surgery and follow up radiation and am starting to feel almost normal so just before Thanksgiving I cut the binding and attached it to the quilt. I have been stitching it down in the evenings. I did it to celebrate the ending of my treatments and the fact that the doctors have said that they can't find any cancer and I am a Survivor! During this time when I felt well enough we would go to WI and spend time at a neighbors cabin. Neighbor in WI that is, we purchased property outside of Ladysmith WI and DH has been clearing trees to get ready for our cabin and future retirement house. This quilt is for our cabin, with luck will be up in 6 months!
