It's a New Years Day like no other.
We had planned to gather at Joe and Kori tonight.
Covid in their house put an end to that plan.
Their Christmas will have to wait.
That means I still can't share what WE made for the Family gifts this year.
No Crowther Cousin gathering like we had 3 years ago.
That was the day before we left for Utah and the MTC before going to Omaha.
So much has happened since then.
My New Year's eve was like most years...
We did make a trip out to get Milk and some reading glasses for Paul.
He had cataract Surgery last Tuesday.
DD#2 arranged to take him and bring him back home after so I didn't have to drive the snowy roads.
We have a little over a foot in our back yard and piled around.
Thanks to our neighbor across the street who said to use their Snow Blower.
I watched the Ball/Music Note drop in Nashville though.
NYC wasn't even on my agenda without Dick Clark.
I always like to spend my New Year's eve sewing on the Quiltville Mystery.
I was up into the wee hours finishing the Hourglass and Flying Geese Blocks in case we needed them.
The part 6 meant assembly of Block A!
A little different this year. I got 4 blocks done so I could post them online.
I love how they fit together so well. I didn't do much trimming of my HST's or the
Part 5 Block that is the corners.
I wore the socks, like the ones I got at our guild exchange, with a couple of Christmas FQ's,
Red & Green Glide Thread.
After I dot the 4 Blocks done I sorted through my directional connector blocks and
got them oriented the right way. OCD much?? I think so.
There will be some of it turned wrong in the HST's of the Blocks.
This is a directional fabric I will be happy to be rid of! Still have a bunch though.
I spent the week hours pressing and playing with the Bonus Triangles from Part 5.
If I don't play with them now they will just go into the drawer or a ziplock bag.
I had an idea...
Remember these tiny HST's that my friend, Noel helped trim and press at the WW Fair??
These are a few of those blocks.
I wanted to do them in the Pinks.
My jar of Dog Ears is almost full.
Then I played with my Bird Blocks.
I didn't have a Yellow Canary...
See it in the top left corner?
These 2 went under the needle and before I knew it I was still up, again, at 3 am.
I don't know what they are but they will make my Birdie Quilt more interesting for sure.
Thanks to Riley Blake for the Free Pattern.
I have to share the Early Birthday gift I received from Janet O.
She knows I like to Celebrate my birthday all Month long.
Thanks Janet!!!
And this is the gift from my Sister by Love, Anne!
NaDell delivered it on Christmas Day.
A Doorstop Post that got me thinking about a Word of the Year.
The scripture I posted today with it is
Psalms 33:20-22
Back to real life tomorrow. Church with the YSA and Homemade Bread
to go with the soups for Break the Fast.
