Trying to get unstuck

       I have no idea how I cannot get posts up. I am working on quilts and paintings and gardening, and I take photos of it, but I cannot sit down and write. My brain seems bound up. I know I have been suffering sleep issues and the normal stuff. I want to get something down here. I think I need to stop reading so many distressing reports and world events as I think that may sucking the juice out of me. I will try and show work I have completed and not try to backtrack what I have missed blogging about. Thank you to those who keep at it that I read everyday. Thank you to those who emailed to see if I was ok. I will try to do baby steps and get posting.
    One quilt that is kind of funky I finished is Jimmy John, free pattern from Jo's Country Junction. A woman in my guild had given me a free jelly roll and I thought it was perfect for this. The tomatoes and peppers will appeal to someone who needs some humorous comfort. I quilted the white part with leaves in Glide Willow (thank you, Julie for showing that color idea). The print parts I just did long line quilting. Rosie jumps in to inspect.

Backing was donation, green strip to widen, striped binding

Your quilt and tulips are matching colors. Nice, bright, happy colors. That quilt will make someone very happy.

I stopped watching the news a long time ago. It helped my attitude and health! Your garden is beautiful!

I stopped watching or reading news for my mental health years ago. I am spending a lot of my time caring for Mom, so for me, blogging has fallen by the wayside.

The jelly roll is PERFECT for that quilt!
