I’m fine. Since my doctor told me you can test positive up to 90 days after infection, I really think I actually was sick in mid-Dec when I was certain it was just sinuses acting up with the temperature dropping and weather change and this pre-op test result was just residual viral load shedding from then. We are all just fine.

@aimr, don’t be mad, but I did some major dust cleaning in my room today that has needed to be done for ages and should really help me, my asthma and allergies being cooped up in here.

Thanks for asking.

lol…I am glad you are feeling better and doing things to take care of YOU…I also did some cleaning, some bike riding, and worked on my counted cross stitch (I am questioning my sanity on this one…but, it is growing on me!)…I will also get to quilting…lol

@edel I love the quilt…low volume or muted colors can be soothing…I just some similar quilts today using oranges and black/white…I am quite fond of orange…of course, my intent was to look for Christmas quilts since I was cutting blocks for @princessP, I thought I would just leave the fabrics out and cut my own Christmas quilt…that did not happen

I have been able to use my purple thang to help stuff my birds a bit! I do miss watching my real birds out the back window though.

I still haven’t found my birds, my prayer flags, or my coffee hoops…I know they are still in boxes somewhere…I really want to make something with the birds and continue with a few I missed…I did not do the oriole but I do remember doing a nuthatch…it would be cool to do some sort of mini bird quilt…we both like birds so much!

@aimr Speaking of birds, this is one of the patterns I ordered to make this year.

A few years ago, I did one of her fox quilts. I shared it on the old site.

Hey all, I have added a link to the first post called “Quarterly Ticket Tracking Space.” Can you please check it and see if you can see it. Also, if anyone besides @AudiobookLover can edit it, I need to adjust it somehow because we should be the only editors.

If you don’t see your name and want it added, let me know. I was adding people as they were commenting on the thread… just in case anyone decided to play!

These are so fun and festive! I’m impressed you can do that even while zooming!
I also love the way you cut out and framed the characters from Bluey. :slight_smile:

Another festive one! :slight_smile: Have you been using a pattern for this or are you making it up? I love all the different rectangle shapes and sizes.

Oh wow, this is so pretty!! Well done, and it must feel really satisfied to finally have that WIP done! :slight_smile:

Wowwww, your lines are so clean and precise!! I am amazed! The fabrics are such a lovely combination as well. Very striking.

That orange stripe really adds a lot, tying all your accents together and giving a nice, bold border to the whole design. :slight_smile:

Wheeee I picked up a new sewing machine today! After checking out everyone’s recommendations as well as online reviews, etc., I ended up going with a Brother machine. If I can really get my butt in gear, perhaps I can make a January BOM! :slight_smile: You all are so inspiring!!

I’m using a pattern, one I’ve made before with different fabric, it’s called Black Tie Affair.

I Whistlefish submit this as my January BOM entry.

Y’all tempted me: @MistressJennie’s adorable block she did today. The quilting kick @PrincessP’s been sharing.

“Oh sure! I could do a quilting block! It shouldn’t take me too long!” :smirk:

One tension troubleshooting session, one seam allowance refresher lesson, and two seams ripped later…I have a block!

I haven’t touched my sewing machine in quite a while. Every time I sew I remember why I don’t sew often. But honestly, if I sewed more often I wouldn’t have half the problems I do.

I may be back for next month’s block. I may not. :joy:

I think I’ve finally decided on my colour combo for the BoM :slight_smile: :white_heart: :green_heart: :blue_heart:

Thank you everyone! I’m on my phone so it’s hard to tag everyone.

But yeah I’m really happy having gotten it finished.

Dad does an awesome job with quilting! He likes his longarm and has fun.

Well, I was going to do a lot of quilting this weekend but then Mr Imma decided we needed to move all the furniture! He does that about once a year :roll_eyes: Our living room is basically a rectangular box with a sofa/TV area one one side and a dining area on the other. We’re moving the dining area to the front of the house now and the TV to the back.

The sofa and table are the easy part but moving his whole tech corner is a hassle and so is emptying and moving the shelves that hold all my china. But he’s off to work now and the house looks a bit like a house so hopefully I can still do something tonight.

That is exactly why my husband won’t move around the furniture…all the tech stuff has to be hooked up again! I wish he would upgrade some of his stuff…my office and craft room are easy to move as are the tv’s in the bedrooms because I have all Wi-Fi stuff…just have to plug everything in and they are good to go! lol…well, you are sweet to do this and a change will be nice! I have no idea but I also feel like a change, but for me, that usually means a new comforter or curtains! Have fun!

I am seriously looking at those smaller quilts that just fold up and lay flat at the end of the bed…kind of like a runner for the bed so you can change them up without changing your entire comforter! I have an extra large king so making a quilt that size is just not enjoyable to me, but a nice splash of color on my plain bedcover would be nice…I will have to search them on Pinterest…I forgot what they are called…
