Goodbye 2021 12-31-21

Hope you are all enjoying New Years Eve in your own way.  KoKo and I are being quiet and peaceful - until the fireworks start.  So far only a few and not close by.  I just hold him and pet him and talk softly and he survives, shaking and growling.  

I did have to go to the pharmacy this morning, but masked up and distanced.  Nothing else on my calendar for more than a week.  I did have the booster on Dec 22nd.  I had waited until there was nothing on my calendar for a few days because I reacted so strongly to the number two shot.  It was a wise move as I spent about three and a half days with headache, temperature, ache all over, wiped out.  But I'd rather do that than have full blown Covid.   I certainly know people who have it or have it in their family, but no hospitalizations so far.  Scary stuff.  


Here is to better luck with 2022.

Quilt from TCQC 12-26-21

 


"Sap Buckets"  Ruth B. McDowell  2011  54"W X 40"L
Machine pieced and quilted. 

We have been having cold (for us) wet weather and I sought out this quilt to hang for a few months.  The shadows are so wonderful and Ruth's fabric selections for the trees are intriguing - as usual!  Notice how the trees continue through the top border. 

Other than when I have shown it as ;part of a program, I don't think this quilt of Ruth's has been shown anywhere.  And I don't think it appeared in any of her books.
