It was a pretty grim Mother’s Day. No church, no big lunch, no family around (except Jesse). Andy left this beautiful pot of petunias on my front porch. She knows I love petunias.
Yes, I’m tired of being shut it. I miss seeing my friends and family face to face. I miss church. I need a hair cut. But the alternative, to me, seems a little grim to deal with. So I’m at home until such time as a cure, a vaccine, or something to make us safe is found.
That said, I know people are hurting. My sister’s poetry group told about some folks in Queens, N.Y., who had not eaten in three days. All the food stores are closed and boarded up. The group sent a box of food, my sister has since sent two boxes, and I plan to send some. Thank God for the post office.
I’m still working on the millefiori quilt. I have all four of the big rosettes done, and I’m working on the first of what I think will be about 28 littles.
Here’s a pretty lousy photo of my Bigs. I took it yesterday while my back was giving me all kinds of trouble. So I didn’t take pains--because I had pains.
Skipper Report
Skipper and I were awake all night Sunday night. He panted and trembled constantly while I petted and tried to comfort him. As soon as the vet opened yesterday morning we were there. They did all kinds of testing: blood, urine, x-rays. His temperature was 103, but they found nothing that could be causing the fever. Sent him home with two kinds of antibiotics, which he is taking with peanut butter, one of his favorite things. He seems to be better today. He hasn’t panted at all nor is he trembling. But he does still act a little puny. But he’s eating well and drinking his water. So I’m hoping that whatever caused his problem is on the mend.

Your large millefiori stars are lovely and I wish you well on the smaller ones. It's still May so I'm rooting for your success in finishing this quilt before August!
Those pink petunias are glorious! Andy chose well.
I still see DH and DS2 daily so that keeps me from being too sad about staying home. I love to read so do that when I need to rest and am still slowly sewing the blocks for the Laundry Basket mystery quilt that other people finished back in April. Not me! I'm on block 10 (making four) of 14. Rather than make four block 15s for the quilt center, I'm going to make a 12" block instead. Why sew four blocks together to make the center when you can make one?
Take care, sweet friend!
Hugs!

So happy to see your post today! You hadn't posted since the 4th and I was beginning to worry that you were under the weather. Your millefiori blocks are lovely. Hope your puppy is back to his tricks soon.
