Two "hostage" situation quilts finished!

6 years ago

I have a friend who is calling this quarantine a "hostage situation" and is posting what she is doing everyday of her situation. I chuckle every day because I am getting so much done, it has been good for me to take a step back from everyday stuff and get to focus on finishing projects. She is, too.

I finished pieceing the elephant quilt, got it sandwiched, and quilted. It finished 38" x 44". I pieced the owl quilt at retreat last year and finally got it sandwiched, quilted and binding done. It finished 42" x 48".

This quilt will go to a friend's grandbaby girl due in May.

The owls are going to another friend's new granddaughter arriving in July.

Sue, those are so darn cute! Congrats on finishing them.

I’ve spent more time sewing, too, as well as doing things that I never seem to get to in my normal life.

I have a friend who says she’s ready for her 90 day trial of 2020 to be over. :)

Lovely! I like your purple elephant. I was thinking the other day that I needed to do it in more colors.

Those are great. Yes, I am getting lots of projects done while being a hostage. And, when I feel the need to go out to eat, there is a Burger King near us that still has a drive thru open.

They are so cute! My one daughter always loved elephants and the other owls. We went for a drive today and stopped for ice cream.

Both are very sweet, Sue. I especially love the elephant. I can't wait to get home tomorrow. I need to stop at the sewing center and pick up my tuned-up machine. Then home to buy some groceries and get quilting. I haven't done anything since early December, and I'm so ready to start.

I really think that people who do things like quilting, gardening, etc. fare much better in this situation. I really feel sorry for anyone who lives in an apartment and has no indoor interests except for TV. Since I love to quilt, cook, bake and garden I'm in good shape and I'm used to being alone a lot since DH still works. My problem is that I HATE being told to stay at home. I've always been that way, even when I was a little kid. I can stay at home for weeks except for the necessities but as soon as I'm told I need to stay at home I get really edgy and itchy and rebellious.

I agree, Rita, we have so much we can do at home. I told DH I feel sorry for the people who don't know how to cook!

Sue those are both very cute and I'm sure will be well loved. Nice job.

I kinda wish I was told to stay home. A break from work would be nice...its been crazy to say the least with all of the covid-19 precautions we have to take. Most people are adapting just fine. I hope we reach the turning point soon so that the country and all of us can recover from this terrible illness.

Lovin' the elephant........maybe it's the purple? :-) I think this shelter at home situation is good for a lot of reasons.
