Checking in

With our friends here my schedule is totally out of whack....in a good way. I finally have someone to play Cribbage and Backgammon with in the evenings, and I have someone to sew with. This week I've also had a few errands with Mom. So there hasn't been much sewing or crochet. 
I'm cool with it because I'm having a great time. But I will show you what we are working on between other activities.

What I want to be working on is the Antelope Canyon quilt but the blue fabric is still processing. I didn't want to start anything big so I pulled out some fat quarters to make some mastectomy drain bags. I had a roll of grosgrain ribbon that I was able to cut for half the straps. I'll get started sewing these today before Laura and I head to happy hour with friends.

Laura and Ian come here often enough (during non-lockdown times) that they leave some clothes and things behind. I had totally forgotten that the last time they were here that she had started cutting out this quilt. It's been in my guest closet for 2 years and I didn't remember at all!

It turns out that we had made good notes so she was able to start cutting and sewing right away. I don't know if she will get the top together while she's here but I expect she'll take it home this time to finish before she changes the decor in her bedroom again.

​This weekend I hope to get the mastectomy bags done and get the blue fabric cut for the Antelope Canyon quilt.
