A Little Confession

Nothing like a little quarantine to help me realize that my quilting adventures are out of control.  I took a serious, detailed inventory of my yarn stash.  And I am patting myself on the back that my purchases are under control and I am knitting from stash.  But I came across this KAL.  My resolve is weakening.  I have been wanting to try this yarn.  I will keep you posted.

Now on to my quilting projects.  I thought I had a good handle on my WIP's.  But I was seriously deluding myself.  I think I have finally identified all of the projects that need to be finished.  You can see them here.  I made a promise not to start any new quilts this year.  But found not one, not two but FOUR BOM's for 2020.  My rationale is that I havee fabric that needs to be used up. 

The first of these BOM's is Sherri from A Quilting Life.

 

 These are the first six blocks.   I will share my other projects in the coming days.  And most importantly, develop a plan that will help me finish what I have started.
But first off to agonize over some yarn!

Catching Up--Again

I feel as though I took a nap on March 10 and just woke up.  For many I know the days have seemed endless and boring.  But I have managed to fill them up.  This is the most cooking I have done in years.  The Big Guy loves to eat out and I know that has been hard on him.  I am a pretty good cook but he doesn't enjoy trying new things. And the older he gets, the pickier he gets.

We have a new granddaughter, Vivian Sarah.  She was born April 22 but this past weekend is the first time I was able to travel from Massachusetts to Virginia to meet her.  She joins her two brothers, James and Malcolm.

Mimi and Vivian Sarah Getting Acquainted

I thought I would be blogging every day once we were quarantined.  But time got away from me.  I hope to share some projects in the coming days.
