Wow, what a ride

 I have been missing in action.

I had not touched my sewing machine since the 26th.

Why?

I developed a fairly severe case of COVID.

I have been down for the count.

The place I might have caught it was at my large quilt guild.

That is the only thing on the timeline that fits.

I was hospitalized for four days and am still on oxygen.

But, I am on the mend and doing better every day.

Absolutely nothing but sleeping and coughing has been happening in my life.

Well, things have been happening, but not with me involved.

My daughter graduated from Texas State University with her Bachelors in Social Work.

She graduated with honors.

The husband and two kiddos

 

 

 

Does she look wet?

Well, yes she is.

The tradition is to jump into Sewell Creek after the ceremony.

She loved that.

She will go on to her Master's in August.

We are so proud of her.

I am hoping my energy levels come back soon and I can do something other than rest.

If you are the praying type, please keep me in your prayers.

Design Wall Monday

  I'm linking to

Small Quilts and Doll Quilts Design Wall Monday and Monday Making.

 

Would you believe I have nothing on my design walls?

I finished what I was working with and have not decided what goes up next.

I'm making coasters

They don't go on the design wall, so....

It's a mystery what will be next.

There was a shop hop this past week.

DH wanted a road trip and this took us 338 miles.

Even though I finished three quilt bindings, I bought more than I used.

This is the one I'm working on now.

It is loaded to be quilted.

The Map quilt was fun and easy and from the scrap drawers too.

I love this bargello.

This is my first and I know I'll make another one.

Midnight Stargazer is completed too.

All three were UFOs

 

Much of the fabric will be used in the next few months.

A couple of other fun facts are:

Prairie Moon is doing a 350 block challenge:

	Total Number of equivalent blocks:	347
	Perimeter in inches:	40480
	Number of UFOs finished this year: UFO Yardage Used:	22 70.31
	Percentage of yardage used in UFOs:	78%
	Number of Bobbins Used this week:	9
	Number of Bobbins Used this year:	49
	Number of Spools Used this week: Number of Spools Used this year:	1 6

Kate at Life in Pieces is doing the challenge of 15 minutes of sewing.

	Days of Stitching 2021: Number of Days this week: Number of Days this year: Days Organizing 2021: Number of Days this week: Number of Days this year:	112/114 7/7 98% 100/114 7/7 88%

I need to work on organizing a bit longer each time.

Until Graduation is over for DD, I think I will be sewing or doing minor organization.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

Midnight Stargazer is done and is all from my scrap bins.

The outside blocks were from my scraps.

Bargello

I forgot to show the finished quilt.

I love this quilt.

 

Coasters

 An easy gift is coasters.

DD is ending her internship on the first of May.

She asked me to make coasters for everyone in the facility.

The first five sets are done.

I want to make 40 for her in case there are others she wants to gift.
