It's been a year!!!

How in the world has this last year flown by so fast?!?!?! It's just so hard to believe and I know that I'm not the only one to struggle with how quickly time passes these days. Much has changed in our lives, but one of the constant things in my life is the making of quilts. I'm sure I'd be locked away somewhere if I didn't have that to see me through. Not that I've had a bunch of finishes mind you...lol Some of you (is anyone really still reading this blog?) may remember the basket blocks I started way back when. Well I'm close to finishing up those baskets. Here's a terrible picture of them on my design wall. I've finished a few more since I took that picture and my plan is to be finished with the top by the first week of August. We will see if I can stay on track. I also keep plugging away on my Janiebright quilt. I've actually made progress on the right side triangles since this picture was taken. Again, sorry for the terrible picture. I did have some quilt tops quilted last Fall and I'm so thankful that I did. I had one last chance to enjoy the Fall and Christmas quilts in our house in Stillwater, OK before we moved to Edmond, OK in March. I will always treasure these quilts. The friend that quilted them for me passed away suddenly, much, much too young. It was just heartbreaking. Well I think that's enough for this year...lol...I mean today. If anyone can tell me how to get the Christmas background off, I would appreciate it. I've tried everything! Also, how do I switch to Bloglovin? I must be a dolt....some of this is just more complicated that I am!
