I try to have an embroidery project always available for those times. Your GFG is also on my bucket list. I think that and a yo-yo top would be soothing mindless projects.

Grandmother's Flower Garden. ;-)

Handsewing five inch squares into 3-D bowtie blocks! And those into a handstitched quilt top. It is fast, fits into baggies, including needles, thread, and scissors!
It goes amazingly fast, and the results are very satisfying! The whole quilt can be nicely finished by echo quilting or tieing! JP
