Rosette Two Growing

Yellow

I stitched the entire ring of yellow pieces onto Rosette 2 yesterday while watching corona coverage. Sounds like we’re in for a siege, although I don’t believe anybody knows for sure how long this will last. Dr Sanja Gupta was upset that some segments of the population weren’t taking the threat seriously. Mr. Trump announced that he had known it was a pandemic all along. He was just kidding us, I guess, when he kept telling us it was a hoax. Now I think people are just confused: They don’t know whether to buy some toilet paper or go to a bar.

Oh well, we’ll get through this crisis--maybe not together, as many are saying, but get through it we will. We’ll likely be wiser (and poorer) for the experience. Those of us who make it. 

Prayers for all the world. Stay well, everyone.

Love your 2nd rosette and applaud your progress!!

The applique quilt on the wall behind has long been one of my favorite of your many wonderful quilts. I've pulled fabrics to make several of those blocks myself but haven't started. Perhaps now is a good time to begin?

It's odd to look at a grocery list and consider it a "hope" list as it's a toss-up as to whether what you need will be at the store. No fun.

Take heart: Dr. Sanja Gupta also said that 80% of those who get the virus will recover without ill effect. The other 20% who are over 60 and/or have medical problems will be more affected but most people are unlikely to even be exposed to the virus.

Germ and virus free hugs!

Getting There

The new Blackberry Creek is getting close to completion. Thank you, Jed for all your work. I've finally found a minute to get still and learn to post. Doesn't seem too difficult. When all the old posts and photos get transferred, we'll start working on the layout.  Today, I'm going to attempt to scale the stairs and do some work in the sewing room. I'm falling father and farther behind on my schedule to get things ready for the June 2026 quilt show.

Book Talk

To celebrate getting the border sewn on to my millefiori quilt, I decided to read a book--all the way through without stopping to sew anything. And I picked just the right one: Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. If I had wanted to put it aside to sew, I don’t think I could have. This is the best book I’ve read for at least a year. It’s one of those stories that almost reads itself. You don’t feel like you reading but just enjoying an enthralling story. The pages fly by, and you’ve finished the book way before you’re ready to leave those wonderful but broken characters. The main character, Eddie (Edward) Adler, at the age of 12, survives an airliner crash. The crash claims 191 lives, including his parents and older brother. For the next six years, Edward struggles to carve out a place for himself in a world without his family. The story is heartbreaking and at the same time uplifting.  If you’re looking for a good book to read to usher in Autumn, I recommend this one highly...

Catching Up

This is my new granddog Ozzy. Daughter Andy recently adopted him. He initially showed up at Jesse's girlfriend's house, and after trying unsuccessfully to find his owner, she made him at home. But having one dog, two children, three cats, and a full-time job already, Ozzy (his name was Chip at the time) became too much for her. So Andy took him in. At first she was sure she had made a mistake. Not having ever owned a dog that she was responsible for (we had dogs from time to time when she was a child), she was sure she had bitten off more than she could chew. But things are settled down, and Andy and Ozzy have bonded. They visit me frequently, usually on Saturday to watch the Bama game--or in the case of last Saturday, to watch movies as there was no Bama game. Ozzie is a very good dog and appears to be well cared for. He had not been snipped, but he has been now. And the vet gave him a clean bill of health. As of yesterday, all the blocks, all 120 of them, are finished fo...
