I'm here...
trying to pick up the pieces
after these last 9 months of a challenging number of events.
On August 30th, my husband of 41 years died after battling
multiple myeloma for 6 months.
He required a lot of care during those 6 months
and a lot of life and sewing were set aside.
Three weeks after he died,
by 5 year old granddaughter was hit by a car.
Thank God she is going to be okay,
but had multiple injuries and fractures from the accident.
I was at my daughter and son in laws for a month,
helping with the two younger children and the house.
I am home now.
Trying to find a new routine is challenging,
but one thing I am doing is sewing again.
It feels good to be back in my Hidey Hole
after all of these months.
My youngest granddaughter needs a quilt for her bed.
I had started cutting the blocks for this quilt
before all of this stuff happened,
so I pulled them out and started putting the quilt together last week.
This is "The Frances Quilt" by
Kitchen Table Quilting
made with Kipling Gardens by Riley Blake.
My daughter chose the pattern and color scheme.
It was the perfect quilt to sew and not have to
concentrate too much.
These fabrics are so pretty and full of color.
They are brighter than the photos show.
Before I put the scraps away,
I cut the pieces to make another quilt.
Looking at this photo, I see a couple of
pieces that need to be moved or replaced.
This quilt will be donated.
I'm hoping to be on here more now that
life has settled down a bit.
Time will tell.
Happy Quilting!
