I can't believe that it has been three six months since I last posted here. Time flies when you are on lockdown!
I have not been idle.......I was working in February and most of March. Then, through no fault of ours, our entire department was laid off, right about the time that the lockdown in NJ was happening.
It was not a total shock, the business world is changing and companies need to make decisions based on business. I took it as a sign that I have another adventure waiting for me on the other side of this Corona virus situation.
Once I was able to "practice retirement" I started working on projects that were UFOs for quite a while.
In this picture there is a scrap yarn ripple lap throw, a beige and yellow shawl and two black totes.
This is a block that I have decided to do from a rather old issue of Traditional Quiltworks. I tried to research it and I think it is from 1998. The only solids will be the red and blue in the center. Everything else will come from my scrap basket and be a print.
I also am a participant in The Violet Protest . I made five blocks in a checkerboard fashion in red and blue fabrics. My blocks have been received, but due to the virus the art installation has been delayed.
I have completed more items...but I will save those for the next post. I am hoping that it won’t take another six months!
In peace and pieces,
Sherry

I am still doing pattern testing. This is a small quilt design that I recently completed for Patterns by Jen.
