Another First

Father's day is another in a long list of firsts that my daughter and I  are to experience this year.  He is in my thoughts and heart everyday. 

This has been an especially melancholy filled week for me so finding enough ambition to do anything was difficult. I always have knitting of some sort on the go and it was easy to pick up and keep my hands busy. I also worked a bit  on those secret quilts. Appliqueing hearts to go into the third quilt. I should be able to sew it up into a finished top this week. I really have to get to basting them and getting them quilted. But for now I am in the mood to piece the tops, the rest of it will happen in time.

I still have this quilt in the hand quilting frame and have only worked on it a bit. I am only a couple turns away from being finished so maybe this will happen  in the coming weeks. You can read more about it here.

Looking in to see what everyone is slow stitching on today. Kathy brings us altogether on Sundays to slow down, breathe and use needle and thread to reconnect. I love reading what everyone is doing. My new community of friends although most of you I have not ever met but yet I have received words of sympathy and encouragement over the past four months. I am so grateful for that.

I met up with a knitting friend this week that I haven't seen since Covid started. She told me she sees my blog posts through Kathy's slow stitching sunday posts. So today, hello Julie...hope you are enjoying the posts here and it was nice to chat even for a short bit in the dentist's office!
