It started like any other January . . .

When I started the 100 Day Challenge, life was like any other January although there were hints of a growing epidemic. Today as we learn to live in the shadow of this COVID19 pandemic with masks, sanitizers, social distancing, etc. , it makes me wonder how this has affected our creativity. Are you creating more? Finding road blocks and blank canvasses? Going in different directions?

The 100 Day challenge finished in mid May (I added an extra 10 days to the project to Include our 50th Anniversary) And I’ve been trying to focus on quilting the final artwork and binding it. It may take longer to do that than all the little quilts put together! Inspiration only comes in spurts these days and I’m all over the place in doing things Around the house (refinishing tables, painting walls, potting plants, etc). What can I say? Life still keeps going and getting busier, doesn’t it? Have to go . . . It’s another ZOOM meeting coming up . . .

Set the background and design by day and bling by night is the name of the game for these tiny quilted gems. Each day, I head to the computer to check out the low temperature of the previous day which sets the background for that day’s project. This morning, I missed moving into the teal family by 1degree! It’s getting warmer slowly but surely. This is actually an interesting way to see one move into spring (besides seeing the daffodils begin to open and crocus in bloom). As we began the confinement period due to the COVID19 pandemic, I began to realize that I wanted to have these blocks represent what was happening in the homes. As you look inside the windows of each, most show people doing things from getting dressed to pondering the world outside. We are all finding ways to adjust.
