I Really Am Still Here

 I know it has been quite a long time since I have posted anything. 

 I have been being kept quite busy with Avery!  

On top of that I contracted Covid.  

My daughter and son-in-law got it and shared the love with me. 

 Luckily we all had pretty mild cases of it and the only thing I have left over now is that I can't smell anything and some congestion that is causing me to cough. 

 We treated the baby as if he was negative so I have been wearing a mask around him. 

 I stayed home from babysitting for the first 4 days of my symptoms 

(they had it a week before I did).

 I'm on day 11 today and except for the pesky cough I feel good.

While I was self isolating in the camper I did a little sewing.  

This will be the third quilt top I have done since January 1.  

The other 2 were mailed back home to my long arm quilter. 

 She has quilted them both and dropped them off at my home,

 so now I just need to trim them and bind them.  

I have binding made for the Neverland one but not the dog one, yet. 

 I hope to make the binding for that this weekend.

The third quilt is one I can't show the whole of (one part in particular) or

 the person it is for will know it is for them!

  It's really a Christmas sort of quilt, maybe could be winter too, 

so I most likely won't even gift it until next Christmas!  

Cole is always helping me when I have sewing to do, LOL.

There are two sets of trees.  

One is light and one is dark.  

I used an ombre fabric so they are multi colored, just like real trees!

The other blocks are snowflakes. 

 I really love these blocks! 

 The centers are sparkly just like real snowflakes.

I now have the whole top put together.

There is one more BIG block 

(that's the one I can't show)

I need to put the borders on tomorrow.

Trying to decide if I want to make it bigger.  

If I end up making it larger I will do a thin green border (tree fabric)

and a bigger white border.  

I want to bind it in the green tree fabric too.

The boys have been good company during my month in NC by myself.

I love that Cole climbed into my lap and laid down like this.

We go in to the vet tomorrow for his 6 week blood work.  

Praying his blood work comes out well. He seems like his old self. 

 Just 6 more weeks after this for a total cure so keep your fingers crossed!

I think Finny has been missing Chris.  

He really is my husband's pal but I am trying to make sure he gets his share of Finny lovin' too.

These two really love each other and I am so thankful for their company at night.

So there you have it.

This is what I have been up to.

What's new with all of you my friends?
