I see that I have follower still checking to see if I have anything new on the horizon... THANK YOU for the encouragement to begin quilting again!!
To explain my absence.... I went back to being an employee and worked for a great company and a really authentic CEO for nearly 3 years. Then life happened. There were 2 human family deaths and my 15-year-old companion feline, who did not let me out of her sight when I was home, died first. PLUS my disabled husband had another stroke and that was the end of my immune system.
So COVID-19 hit my worksite and BAM! I got the virus. I didn't have to be hospitalized, but for 3 weeks I was completely incapacitated. My recovery didn't even last a month before the COVID symptoms returned. That was a year ago.
Now my husband, service animals, and I are living in a much healthier environment and having Long COVID, I am home. I tried returning to the workforce last fall, but I just don't have the stamina or patience for the "outside world" when it is all I can do to move my body and breathe deeply.
I still have 2 quilts that I had expected to sell when I shut down my hobby business.
Wave to the Lighthouse & Saltwater Aquarium, both hanging quilts, are currently hanging in my living room. They were folded so long that I expect I will have to have them professionally pressed.
Cathedral Windows patterned quilt, Mr Bob's Farewell, hangs in my office nook. This is a very special quilt to me and I doubt I will ever sell it.
So we are up to date. Going forward, I will be making "Framible" quilts and "Interactive Game" quilts and if course, pet toys.
Thank you for encouraging me to return to my work!!
