Hello Cuties, I am trying to get my zeal back for quilting. I have started my new year, working on this quilt top. I have 4 more tops cut and ready to piece together. I told my husband as soon as Christmas was over I needed to get back to work. One more easy, simple, like this one and the other 3 a lot of pieces to a block. I want to get these done, so I can move onto my projects & quilts. These are for Veterans.

I haven’t been on Cute much, since before Christmas. Our oldest daughter & none of her family could come for Christmas as she was exposed to virus the Monday before Christmas Friday. She got sick the weekend after Christmas and tested positive, but the virus hasn’t been bad on her, thank our dear Lord. She had like sinus problems and lost of taste. So far no one else got it in her family.
My hubby had to go Monday & back again Thursday to doctor, but now I believe he’s getting straightened out, other health problems, not Coronavirus, thank goodness. Now you see why I haven’t been here much.
Hope all of you are well. Find things you like to do if you have to be shut in bc of the weather or virus. I find I could let myself get in a slump very easily, if I just sat. Love to all- Toogie

I'm just so jealous of your friends and family to have someone like you in their lives. I wish you attitude was as contagious as this darn virus. I could sure stand to be infected with it. Love the quilt too.

I’m already on to my next quilt top. Gotta keep moving/ doing. My spirit was kinda down when I started this one, just wasn’t in the sewing mood (can you believe?) But I made myself start New Year’s Eve and struggle through. Now I’m glad because I have one top finished and has now ‘got me in the mood’ to do another. One day at a time. It’s kinda like exercise ( which I need to do) once you get started, and see results, it fires you up to do more!

Toogie, you may have been in a slump, but you certainly weren't doing nothing. This is truly beautiful. Thank you for continuing to make quilts for our Veterans.
I'm so sorry to hear your oldest daughter has had to deal with this virus. Praise God she is doing well.
I hope your hubby is back to good health.
And you are so right. We need to keep our hands and minds busy to keep depression away during these crazy times. Wish I could give you a real hug, but know that I really do care and wish I had known so I could add my prayers to yours.

I just couldn’t talk about Marsha. I prayed it wouldn’t be bad on her, but it was so much happening sickness, death of a cousin, holidays so different, Douglas, besides the world in such a mess, it was easy for the devil to think he had us down. I needed quite time for prayer. I know you understand.

That is a beautiful quilt. I hope your family quickly gets better. I certainly know about the sitting and slump. I am not going to let myself get into that slump I had in 2020.

With no going anywhere and cold weather too this is what I should be doing. Thanks I talked to Marsha yesterday and she still says she is ok, just sinuses.
