Day 28 - Cold and Colds

The picturesque South is a bit cold today and isn't making our colds any easier.  I'm not surprised we've had a touch of the flu (or food poisoning) and either allergies or colds.  We were under a lot of stress from the first of November and it continues.

It's let up a bit but probably won't really settle in until the end of January.

Ma, we're trying to figure out how to do the binding on the quilt once we get it finished.  Jackie is going to see if she can get the rocking motion of quilting and we already know I'm good at hand sewing pieces.

Chris called, they love the pillows we made.  They know you were going to make a string quilt for them with that material as the center pieces but things happened and love that we made pillows out of the pieces.

We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
