Thanks for checking in here with me. It is a very strange time we are all living in due to COVID. Not so hard for single quilters!! Lots of time in my studio. My heart goes out to those with children and husbands with everyone staying at home. I miss not having that sometimes but mostly I am thankful that I can just be in my studio working on my quilts. All of my jobs have been canceled from March to the end of the year and I am waiting to see if work will begin again in the new year. Oh how I wait for a new year. This one pretty much sucks. I have been filling my time with a new vegetable garden for the first time in my life and really loving it and doing lots of dehydrating cause I can’t eat it all as fast as it comes up. but it is really fun. Working on three quilts for the Quilt National entry. that has kept me busy for the last three months. In Between making masks and quilts for my grandkids using all of the leftover strips from my log cabin quilts. Here is a picture of the grandkids with their quilts. Once a month my quarenteam , my sister and her husband and my cousin go up to our house boat on Trinity lake three hours away for a few days of water, sun fun and games. That keeps me sane, something to look forward to once a month. Every morning I walk my three big dogs and they are my other quarenteam and keep me sane as well. Love these boys, Ziggy the chesapeake retriever, Jack the yellow lab and Buddy the Australian shepherd. I have to walk them separately now so I get three walks a morning, they love the individual attention. Believe it or not I used to walk all three of them together but I am getting old and they are getting too strong and tend to try to pull me over. so one at a time is best. I hope that you are all doing well and that someday we can all be together again safely.

love and hugs, katiepm
