I also pieced 3 other quilts and one of these is complete  They were projects that I started in July hopefully to be Chrismas presents.

I hit a wall in the first week of October.  Mother(89y) was hospitalized for high blood pressure and my productive sewing life went down hill from there. After a hospital stay, she became a resident at our house with multiple issues. Resulting in finally moving her to a retirement center December 15th.  Needless to say, I got very little done in the sewing room.

Christmas came and went quickly; we made a quick trip to Texas;  New Year happened; I made a trip yesterday to Tuscaloosa, AL.

Today was the first time I have had a day to myself since October.  Oh, it was great!  It is nice to have a lazy day now and then.

I hope tomorrow I can get the house cleaned and prepare for 2018.
