I really cannot decide if I am ready to start blogging again or not. I think things have settled enough till I can...but I am so out of the habit it might take me a while to get back into the daily grind. Part of what makes it hard for me to blog is not having any new material. We only yesterday took our first fun drive in ages...
Anyway, I have been somewhat busy when I had the chance...and got this quilt finished.
It is machine quilted of course...on my Juki 98Q.
The front is just regular cotton fabrics but the back is soft flannel...
It is a good size for snuggling under on the couch....it measures 66 inches wide and about 80 inches long after washing.

I don't remember where tis was taken, but sure like the looks of it. I may have even posted it before. Just thought it was fitting though, cause I have been talking to Lorelei and asking her if she remembered going to the creeks and she does. And she wants to go again. Hopefully, it won't be so dry this year and we will get to go. She had a blast a couple years ago when we took her to Big Walnut Creek and to Mansfield Dam.

Lorelei just got up...I need to find her some breakfast. She really slept in today. We are home for a few days at least...not sure how much blogging I will do. Hopefully, I will have some time to spend catching up with everyone.

Wind turbines galore
A few years ago we went north to Willow Slough...that is north of here. Came across all these wind turbines...and this is just a glimpse of a few. We could see them as far as the eye could see.
Even though they fascinate me, I would not want to work on them. Can you imagine being that high up...I would want a guard rail to say the least around the perimeter of the thing.
Look at the height compared to the trees...
**************
Bright and sunny here this day....still on the chilly side. Maybe in a week or two we can make a trip north. I am in the mood to see that country up that way. And maybe go to Jasper-Pulaski to see the Sandhill cranes.
I continue working on my quilt...slow progress. There is a lot of starting and stopping and that is what is slowing me down. It is not going to be pretty quilting...just basic quilting to hold the layers together.
All the time I am working on this, I am trying to think what I want to make next....though there are a couple projects I HAVE to finish. But quilters are known for having a bucket list that never ends. We could never live long enough to make all the quilts we want.
