Quarantine Is Getting To Me

I'm having a bit of trouble tonight....I have been in self quarantine since Feb. and I am feeling a little stir crazy tonight.....I have a lot of health problems that put me on the high risk list....the only person I have seen is my son and maybe a person or two when I got a few groceries at the dollar store....

I am a tough old bird but I am getting bored though there is plenty to do here at home....but its the same thing over and over every day....a person needs a break now and then....

Our little county is just now getting the virus...we had escaped it for the most part till now and the amounts are growing....I guess I am a little scared too because I sure don't want the virus.....ya know its a terrible thing to be in the hands of people that wont take precaution against the virus and that a person can die because of it and cant do anything to stop it....I am not use to that....I have dealt whatever was given to me in the past to deal with but this is terrifying...

I guess I needed to rant tonight....its good that I have somewhere to let out my feelings...don't do this very often and I hope I don't do it again.....that is all for tonight....hope I can sleep...….more later.....

More Suprises

Yesterday I found an unopened package on my dining table....after opening it I thought yup there is the prints for the black bag I am going to make....I have a main print that has black, gray, beige and off white in it but I lacked pieces to blend with them in a patch bag....My grand daughter in law likes black and gray a lot so I thought this one will be for her.....the blue in the pic ….is probably for my stash...I use Hoffman solids a lot as they do blend well.....

Last night my body was in so much pain I went to bed and watched tv....there was a weather front coming in so I blamed the weather for all my pain....today seems to be a better day....Just getting started and the day is half over so I don't know how much I will get done...I might even sew a little before I take the machine off the table....for now.....more later..

It's Like Christmas

Look what I found on my dining table when I started clearing it off....its a fabric order I didn't put in the sewing room.....doesn't look like I had anything in mind for it....just adding to stash...but the blade and the needles are a welcome site....always need them....

I haven't been ordering much fabric trying to use what I have....I have a lot of 5 yard or more for backs built up for use if I get going again...which I hope is soon. Ok time to think about supper so till next time.....more later.



 

Plans In The Works

Today after I get woke up I am working on my dining table...it has been loaded with various things all summer....first I was passing down a set of dishes to my son that was taking over my corner cabinet in the kitchen...but he is terrible with glass...growing up he broke any that he came in contact with.....so I packed them good in boxes...being they are stone ware they are heavy so not many in a box...the table was really loaded with boxes for awhile as he would just take 1 box with him when he visited...long process...now they are gone.....

I am trying to find a way for me to lay out a quilt on that table without hurting my back....that is why I stopped quilting a couple years ago...I miss quilting!

I have a closet full of quilt tops 7 of them are grandmothers flower garden....I made each of my family one and I made one for me so those are important more to get done...I would like to get most if not all done before I leave this earth....

I also have been putting a box together for charity.....I made 1 binding for a quilt so far and 2 tops to send ….I have another quilt top almost ready to be done so I can send it too....I have to find out if they are accepting with the 'virus' upsetting everyone life....

Maybe later in the week I will have pics of something that is going on till then...…..more later..

I Am Still Here

Well here I am again....I haven't been sewing since the last post I made....a lot has happened to me since....

So far I have had 3 heart attacks each one getting worse and I almost didn't make it the last time.....My health is steadily getting worse but I am trying to function still being at home...don't know for how long....so many doctors now...

And with the 'virus' interfering in everyones life I am no exception....I have been self quarantined since Feb. only leaving home for groceries....

The only sewing I have done lately is making some face masks.....sewing hurts my back so that I just gave up and quit....I am trying to find a way to get my quilts laid out and pinned so it wont be so hard on my body...the quilting isn't a problem but laying out a quilt is a big problem....

I miss having something to show everyone on blogger because that is what this group is about....sewing and quilting....I am happy to see those that are still following and I am making an effort to come back even better than before....please have more patience with me.....more later.....
