80 Garlic Knot blocks from Bonnie Hunter's pattern. Her method works like a charm, of course. I made one or two, then sped things up by layering 5-6 deep on my sewing table. These are 6 in. finished blocks. And as always, all are scrappy in purples, pinks greens, a few blues, one or two reds, and the neutral was purchased. These will be put together with a narrow sashing with "plusses" at the cornerstones. That's a little tedious but doable.
Thank you all, for you know what. There is a LOT of work after losing your spouse, even if you planned ahead. Sometimes work can be a blessing. The dear man did all he could to make my life easy as possible when he was not here. Take photos, and say beautiful things to those you love - we each did. You never know about tomorrow.
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

Smiley Faces
This arrived yesterday, from a friend across the miles. How did she know that DH always signed his notes with a Smiley Face? Was it Serendipity?
The table is still piled with papers, notes, cards, mail, bills. Will they ever get cleared off?
Today I sewed for one whole hour. One Step at a Time, Slow Positive Steady Progress is what my manager husband is saying to me.
Thank you for good thoughts and kind messages and prayers.
