My Aunt Anita died last week and so my hubby and I went to Colorado Springs, Colorado for her funeral. I only show a picture of the cemetery to show what a cold February 14th it was. It was also beautiful in a surreal sort of a way. The trees were covered in a heavy frost and light snow covered everything. I think it was about 10 degrees and very, very cold. Anita was my Dad's only sibling and she was six years younger than him. Dad has been gone for 11 months today....very sad time.
We left on Friday and the trip took about 11 hours and I did accomplish some "quilting". The first two pictures are of blocks from the applique class that I took in January. I am really liking this and my skills are steadily improving, I think.
Here is the latest finished block from my Moms basket quilt.
I also have another applique block and another basket block prepped for stitching. Oh and this afternoon I made a Nearly Insane block for the bow I'm doing. Whew...I think I'm getting more done than I thought. I really am itching to start a quilt though. I'm talking cutting, piecing and making an entire quilt. I think I just might do that this weekend, we'll see.
Sorry for the boring post...I'm just a little blah right now and sleepy.
Goodnight!

So sorry about your relative. Your photo was actually quite beautiful. I plan to be cremated but sometimes I wonder... I like going to the cemetary to bring flowers to my relatives.
Your blocks look great!
Sorry to hear about your aunt.
I am so sorry about your Aunt. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It looked like a very cold day for sure.
Sorry for your loss :( The photo is beautiful though, something about a snowy cold day that looks so peaceful.
So sorry to hear your sad news about your aunt.
Your applique blocks are beautiful.
hugs Elly
