Sew-shall Isolation

Phase one of quilting completed!  Now on to phase two.
Well, howdy.  It's been a while because I had surgery and I wasn't able to sew for a couple of weeks.  Even though I had to wear a brace to keep my arm close to my torso, I was still able to finish all of the blocks for this using Amy Butler fabrics, mostly from the Charm collection.  It is now done and phase one of the quilting is complete . . . vertical and horizontal.  Phase two . . . diagonal . . . will be next.  The final phase is quilting the border, then binding. 

I finished the quilting and binding on February's quilt earlier this month, as everything was on hold because of the surgery. 

Stay-at-home has not been hard for me.  I've had plenty to do and I have also added making surgical masks to my repertoire.  My husband and I would rather be together than with anyone else, so that's not a problem either.  I do miss occasionally lunching with friends but I've never been a shopper so I don't feel in the least bit "trapped".  The worst thing about all this is that the library is closed.

Be well and behave responsibly!  xoxo
