As for me, no new UFO's at the moment. I have been catching up on stitching down the binding for the donation quilts our church ties every Thursday. I can't make to to the tying but I can do the binding. I have also been spending more time with my mother who is 88. She was taken to the hospital last month, because my daughter noticed her lips were getting blue and she could not breath easy. Found out she has Chronic Heart Failure, at the moment it's pumping around 15 to 20%. She is home now and doing okay, she finally gave in to being put on O2, was fighting it for over a year. So I have been spending a lot of my time over at her house. Getting used to my new normal, but today was a sewing and clean my house day.
I have been enjoying the quiet.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's troubles, Dedemac, but glad she agreed to the oxygen and that you are able to spend time with her.

I let an organizing project come between me and the binding I was working on. I have now matched all of my fabric bundles with patterns and made a note of what fabric needs to be bought for each project (I really enjoy the planning aspect of quilting). I just have two more bunches of fabric to fold today and then I can get back to that binding.

Dedemac- I'm sorry to hear about your mother's health problems. I hope the oxygen helps to keep her more comfortable.

Good to know that you are taking some time for yourself and able to do some sewing.

Watson, I love it!

Very striking, Watson. What's the size...looks like 36 x 44 or thereabouts? Or am I completely wrong!

Totally gorgeous, Watson!

Watson, that's one of the most beautiful quilts I've ever seen. The contrast between the black & your chosen colors is striking. What is the pattern name, please?

Watson 05-23-2019 05:25 AM

Conchalea, thanks for the kind words. That's an original design and I think I'll call it Technical Difficulties, because I had so many doing it!

Watson, that's so interesting, and very beautiful!
