Still on lockdown

It's not that much different than our daily lives ( hubby's and mine, that is) - other than three concerts that we were looking forward to have either been cancelled or postponed til October and I won't let hubby go grocery shopping with me now.  He's 82 with MANY medical problems and I don't want to risk it.

In the meantime, I've been busy and usually too tired at night to post on my blog, so tonight, you're going to get several days in a row... 

I'm still working on the flower petals for the quilt in the pic below.  Mine will be smaller... 4 rows across by 4 rows down.  I think I have enough petals for 10 flowers so still have more to do.

Then I got this bunny quilt by Elizabeth Hartman onto Mo'e and had about half of it quilted before we had several days of rain.  With all the moisture in the air, the arthritis in my back and legs told me that quilting would have to wait.

I think I need to have my friend, Katie, come over one day  (after we're off lock down) and help me figure out why the right side is lower than the left... it comes out even in the end ( when I trim before binding) so I haven't worried about it before... it was driving me nutz this time.

Back to the flower petals and centers again....

Then, while cleaning up my sewing room... well, I STARTED and did get quite a bit done, but it's still not clean.... anyway, I found this project from 2016.  Since I couldn't long arm, I decided to work on this... I thought I only had eight blocks left... yeah, eight blocks and thirty-six (36) applique'd circles... sigh.  And those piecing blocks aren't all easy peasy; the last one took me over an hour.  When completed, the quilt will measure 37" x 37", so you can see how small these blocks are... about 3" each.

This morning was cool but not that damp, so the bunny quilt was finished, washed and dried... and is being held up by my sweet hubby.  This is going to a little girl in St. Cloud, Mn. - one of these days.

The little girl would have been the older sister to the twin great granddaughters that we lost recently.  The quilt below was to go to one of the twins.  When I ordered the panels, I didn't know they were both girls so I ordered one in pink, one in blue and this one in green.  Now, I just want to quilt them and put them away.  I'm sure someone in the family will have a(nother) baby - and I'll be prepared.

It's going to sit there resting tonight.... I might be able to get to it tomorrow or it might have to wait til later in the week. 

So, that's what I've been up to.  I didn't want to make face masks like so many others are ( I don't know why, just didn't) but I did donate my elastic and bias tape collection to a gal here in town who is making the masks for medical personnel and some for the general public.

I'm going to sit back and relax for a few minutes before Buddy ( our dog) tells me it's time to go to bed so he can have his bedtime treat lol.

take care....
STAY SAFE...
