I have obviously been M.I.A. ...almost a month since I last posted? Well, let me catch you up.
Oh, such a beautiful embroidered topper... tablecloth?
The maker is such a wonderful woman, she embroidered my name on there too. 💗
As I mentioned, my birthday was the end of February (the 27th to be exact, in case you want to note that on your calendar for next year, which will be a BIG ONE ha ha ha...).
I crossed off a bucket-list item and got the tattoo. Many thanks to Tamara King at Sinkin Ink in Hamilton. I am super happy with it, although still a little bit self conscious about it.
I am planning on semi-retiring next year when I turn (ahem) 65. Having a life plan, for me, means I need something to get me out into the social-sphere AND feel productive/contributing to the world-at-large. I decided to start volunteering at Mark Preece Family House a couple times a month, with a view to spending more time there next year. I managed to finish one four-hour shift, and then Covid-19 hit, which shut the house down until further notice. Well, better safe than sorry.
A demo presentation at the guild (Four Patch Posie) left me with 18 quilt blocks.
I went on retreat with the same guild a week later and got three tops done, including those 18 blocks. The panel quilt on the left is ready for quilting. The two on the right still need border(s).
I guess now I can take one of my volunteer days and get the little panel quilted. Or work on bookkeeping. Or fill another box for the Goodwill. Or...
