My Honest House Quilt top is finished!  58"x 58"
 I'm so so pleased with it.  This is the first time I've tried adding the cornerstones as I went.  It was actually easier to do the remaining sides (thanks again Molly!) after they were pieced.

Here is my inspiration quilt from Pepper Cory's collection of southern quilts.  I attended her lecture at the Vermont Quilt Festival 2019.  I've always been inspired by Pepper.
I got a lot of help from Nutmeg.
Luckily this came together last week before I was hit with a nasty virus.  I don't know for sure if it was/is the flu, but it kept me down for a whole week.
I passed the week resting and watching Netflix and Amazon.
Here is what I watched and what I thought:

  • Don't F**K with cats - disturbing, but fascinating too (netflix)
  • The Two Popes - great movie and performances (netflix free )
  • The Joker - disturbing but provocative, good performance
  • Judy - Sad, great performance
  • Find Me - Inspiring, funny and sad (netflix free)
I love movies and it became a daily treat.  I gave Mr. Fun Acorn for Christmas and we've been watching Midsomer Murders.  They are a bit campy and gentle and just right.

Nothing better than a quilt and cat when you're sick.
I rallied for a few hours and made two tree blocks for families affected by the bushfires in Australia.

Yesterday I worked on swap block packages.  We are waiting for 2 in modern and 3 in repro - including me!  yikes.
will finish sewing these up today and tomorrow.
We had a dusting of snow early last week, but we have had very little snow this winter so far.  I made a nice backdrop for my bright houses.
Happy Friday Everyone.  Stay well!
