I am working on the memory quilt at last! I've cut some squares, and some slightly larger squares for making half-square triangles with some white quilting cotton I'm repurposing from another project. Next I'm going to trim the half-square triangles to size and start playing with layouts.

Difficulty: I managed to pick up a cold on my retail excursions last weekend. So far testing negative for covid, but it does make my coordination and judgment even worse than usual.

I'm counting reading as a creative endeavour, since it seems to help healing some things.

Astol got some practice in on a new sketching software yesterday. Sketchbook for a standard tablet, free version, for those looking for drawing software.

He posted the results, featuring Rem. Rem is a cute kid.

Oooh. What kind of fabrics are you using?

Trying to market two books at once while being very ill.

Shirts from my late brother. Mostly aloha (Hawaiian) shirts, but there are a few odd ones in there.

I've started by using the sleeves from a few representative shirts, and mixing with some actual quilting fabric, both to stabilize the fabric and dilute the color intensity a bit.

Yay, that's a lot!

I'm very impressed that you cleaned both your room and your table. I struggle the most with those.

Nice sketch!

Healing is important. Good luck.

[dianec42]

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. Two books though, that's great!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks, it is. I'm improving now that my doc gave me samples of jardiance while we dick around with the insurance company that doesn't want to pay for my meds

[cornerofmadness]

love the sketch and yes reading counts, especially if it helps with healing

[cornerofmadness]

that's a lot. Good job

[cornerofmadness]

It looks like that will be an amazing memory quilt. Hope you feel better soon

Holy hell I hate the healthcare-industrial complex. Good luck.
