Good luck- You can do it! Your dad will be grateful and you will feel motivated and happy with getting the quilt finished.
i also have spent the past couple weeks doing much needed yard work - including hauling with wheel barrel and spreading over 800 pounds of mulch- not any sewing. I need to get busy again since I’ve received 2 new commission requests. Between graduation parties, memorial services, work and yard work….I think if I had 30 hour days and 9 days a week— still wouldn’t get it all done- but taking the moments as the come..
I hope you share pictures of your dad’s quilt when you finish it. 😉
