Where did the month go?

I honestly can’t believe it’s March already. The greatest significance to me is that it marks the one year anniversary that we’ve been “sheltering in place”!  We left California on March 16.  What a year it’s been. Right?  Are you all marking the one year since the pandemic began?  The good news is that I got my first vaccine!  The one time it pays to be older , right?!  Vbg

I’ve done some sewing that I’m happy to share.  This is my curves quilt for the Céçille et Corinne sew along.  I’m sewing the blocks together using the potholder method (a la Wendy Reed). It goes pretty slowly but I’m liking the project so far 

I was able to finish another block in the Twilight Garden project.  One more regular block and I will start on the center and borders!


I will finish my February mini in the next couple of days!  I’m making a table topper for my night stand.  

The great news is that I got my first vaccine on Friday!

It was a very snowy. so I’m totally bundled up. 

We’ve had a lot of snow the past couple of weeks and our puppy Zeke loves the snow. But this is what happens when he goes out. Snowballs up and down his legs!
I read that a whisk is best to get these off!  Really!

Take care everyone!

    Beautiful projects! Yes, for me today marks a year since my husband started working from home and little did we know at that time what a semi permanent lifestyle this would become. Congratulations on getting your first vaccine! Zeke is such a cutie! I never knew about the whisk idea!

    Your Twilight Garden is gorgeous. Almost makes me wish I'd chosen red instead of blue. Did you wash the flannel background before cutting it up?

    Your circle quilt is amazing! Can't stop looking at it. How many more to add? Twilight Garden is so peaceful even though the background is red. I love this block. Poor Zeke. He's turned into a snowman ... uh snowdog?!! A whisk? Hum. We learn every day. Glad to hear all went well with the vaccine. Take care. ;^)

    Love your curves creation!! How many more blocks are you making? I think it looks great as is.
    Your Twilight Garden block looks very good. That will be a lovely quilt.
    Congrats on getting the first shot. Hubby got his today, too. I don't qualify yet. Hey, I thought I was older than you. If I come to Oregon can I get one? LOL
    So did you try the whisk? I can see how it would work, as long as it didn't pull too hard and cause that cute Zeke any pain.
