2020 Quilts

 Since I am retired and live alone the Pandemic has not bothered me that much.  The restrictions of sheltering in have been disconformable at times but it has not really bothered me that much.  I order groceries from Krogers and drive over and pick them up.  I have been very, very careful about not gathering with large groups of people.  Eating out has been making the right choices of where I go and what time I go.  Very few people eat out around 2:00 in our small town and that is the best time for me to go inside to eat.

I live in a 55+ community and we have not gathered for community activities since March.  I see friends out walking or sitting on their porches and we chat staying six feet apart.  I have my hobby of quilting and I also love, love to read.   So for me life has just gone on with few complaints.  

I attend a small church close to my home and have not attended any church functions since July.  Church services are on Facebook and there is something nice about watching in your pj's drinking a cup of hot tea.

Here are a few quilts that I have finished or projects in progress that have been done during 2020

This is a work in progress using the accuquilt system for cutting.  It is Hannah's Choice.  

Both of these quilts were also cut out using Accuquilt system.

This is a red, black and gray quilt also known as a UGA quilt for our Georgia Bulldogs in Athens, GA

I hand quilted this quilt.  The center 9 patch blocks I found in a bin in my very packed sewing room.  I vaguely remember making the blocks when my husband was ill.  After he had gone to bed at night I would go into my sewing room, where I previously lived, and sew on them just to relax.  After he died I guess I just forgot about them.  Three years later I moved into the 55+ apartment and four years later found them when I was looking for whatever.  It turned out to be a really cute quilt. 

I am determined to survive this Covid 19 pandemic.  I know things will get better but I do not know when they will be better.  I believe that this is within God's plan and he has a reason.  I do not know the reason and will probably never know.  But I do trust him and his reasoning.
