Quiltkeemosabe gave me this panel a few months ago, I plan to quilt it up and turn it into a sofa pillow for the porch. I had already planned to make some American flag quilts for out there and, suddenly, there's no time like the present! The first one that I've tackled is "Stars and Stripes by Thimble Blossoms. I'm going to sash mine with a neutral gingham-y fabric from the stash.
As you can see, I'm doing slightly scrappy version. I've also made another 24" -"Which Way Now?" quilt block. As it is so aptly named, I'm not sure where I'm going with that one-- time will tell, I'm not in any danger of running out of scrappy triangles yet.
Adapting to an upside down world🙃: A grocery run yesterday was hit or miss; the items missing from the shelves is random (or it appears that way to me). It reminded me of a time in my life (mid 90's) when we lived in Puerto Rico. I was never exactly sure what the grocery store would have, or not have; so, I carried my recipe files with me and would make menu planning adjustments as I shopped!
Entertainment: We're watching old episodes of "Coach" in the evenings, the sitcom starring Craig T. Nelson from years ago; we have a set of DVDs. It feels good to laugh.
Prayer request: Please continue to pray for Quiltkeemosabe and her family; her husband remains hospitalized and they cannot be with him. Thank you so much.
Remember to take care, be kind to yourself, listen to the directives
and wash your hands🧼; this won't last forever.

Life is Good!

Ooooooo! I like your flags! Lovely fun!
a pastor's wife was asked her favorite verse for times like these..."and it came to pass" meaning this won't last...it will go away....praying for your friend's husband...a stressful and trying time for both of them no doubt...
I've got a batch of flag blocks made from a time on Alycia's blog (I think) and will get them done soon I hope! They tell us to stay home and only make one grocery store run a week but I find that really difficult when, like you say, you never know what will be on the shelves. I find I wind up going to 3 to 4 different places in order to get what I need. I just find it incredible that some folks are still apparently hoarding.
When I saw what you were making I remembered this Have you seen it?

I was going to ask about Quiltkeemosabe's husband before I read to the end of the post. It must be so hard not to be able to visit and comfort and lend strength.
Lord, we ask that You continue to be with Mrs. Goodneedle's friend's family and husband. Thank you for all the medical staff that I caring for him and bring him safely home to his family.
In Jesus' name, Amen
