Not one thing particularily has sidelined me, just a lot of little things. I am not going to try a bunch of catch up posts. I have been keeping a list of photos to share, so I am just going for it even if it is not in order. Besides computer issues, nasty winter weather and physical pain stuff, I, at times, feel overwhelmed and just try to keep taking steps. I have finished quilts and been able to keep the comfort quilt pipeline going to recipients. I read all the great quilting blogs I follow. So that's good.
A finish. The batik flannel quilt is all done and ready for a recipient. I just love, love the batik flannel and would buy boatloads if I could find it. A blog reader sent these squares to me and I tried to make the best use of them with little waste. I had to buy some solid blue flannel for the border which I got a Joanns. It is a miserable fabric- it grabs every smidge of lint and dust and was a pain to longarm. The detail picture shows it all too well. The quilt did take the quilt stitching well.

I had a few yardage pieces of those batik flannels too. They were probably from at least 15 years ago. I don't remember which company made them. I made pillowcases out of some of them and used up most of the scraps last year.
Oh, I really like that quilt! That it's flannel makes it even more comforting.
So good to see you!! I have been more or less absent since end of October after a fall so missed lots and lost of blogs, couldn't use my left arm! I get the overwhelming feeling!!
