I am bad--did not realize it has been so long between post--
I am still dealing with a health issue and that has taken some time and energy --that I could of used for quilting and sewing--
though I have stitched every day--
Last Sunday while watching the last Nascar race for 2020--I did finish this Christmas stitchery--
And the couple times I have been able to actually get to the sewing machine--I worked on these Tilda blocks--But am 'unhappy' with some of them--
I had some of the seams really not come out-so that I would have a 1/4" seam allowance on the blocks--so am not sure what to do about that?????
And I have steady worked on the Hexagon blocks--
I have 14 of these done in this series and am now doing a row of hand quilting going around them-- and also have another design set cut out, to stitch--
And each day I am working on hand quilting on the dress quilt top--I just have 2 sides of the outer border yet to hand quilt and that will be ready for the binding--
and I am knitting every day on a pair of wool socks for a Christmas gift--
So I am keeping busy--I am just slower than I used to be!!! I am afraid that this Covid crisis and the election got me all messed up emotionally and now I have to relearn how to 'chill'--I am so happy the election is over--yet still 'scared' about who is still in charge of our country for the next 2 months! and now with the holidays and families wanting to travel and be together--well---???????
I know we will get through this--some how and in some way--and I try so hard not to 'worry'--but it seems to always be 'there' in my mind!!!
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND CONTINUE TO DO 'SAFE' THINGS--
LUV AND HUGS, DI

Hi Di. Good to hear from you again - I was beginning to worry. Sorry you have been poorly, hope you soon feel back up to speed :)
Love the little kitty! And of course the hexies are gorgeous - give a happy Christmas feeling 🎄 Stay safe. Hugs.
You have been really busy. Know how you feel. I have been really distracted.
Hope you are feeling better Di. It is a weird and difficult time BUT !!! we need to take it day at a time..
Great to see you are still doing some stitching as its good to do that...
So happy to see your post. I was wondering how you were doing. I hope the chemicals are out of your system and you are getting back to 'normal' I hear you on the out of wack with the election, post election and number of covid cases rising. I have a feeling we will just have Thanksgiving with my household and no grandparents this year. Better to be safe. Great progress on all your projects - love the barns on the hexies.
I hope you're feeling much better by now! I think the combination of COVID and the election has taken a toll on most of us. Now that our weather has turned colder, we aren't meeting for outdoor sewing groups or picnics, and it gets a little lonely at times. I was hoping to get to Florida in January, but that's looking less and less likely.
