A little bit of this and a little bit of that ...... that is what is keeping me busy in my studio and home.
My sister and I sorted through the remaining boxes of my late Aunt's and late cousin's stuff. Some to keep, some to share amongst family, some to sell but mostly to donate. It has been a long haul but we are getting through their belongings. There was no time to sort through their apartment when the time came to close it back in late October. Covid was a hot spot in their senior residence. Two nieces and another cousin went in, packed up everything in boxes. They were scared because there were over 100 cases and over 10 deaths in that complex at that point. Everyone kept their masks on the whole time there, washed their hands a lot and used hand sanitizers. They had to call in security because seniors were coming out of their apartments (they were in lock-down) to chat with my nieces every time they exited the apartment to bring down a few items to their vehicle. The movers came in a week later and moved everything to our city. The movers had to call in security also. Some stuff went into storage and the rest came to my house. With my sister going through chemo, she was in no shape to go through boxes and make any decisions. So, those boxes have sat, and sat, and sat. It feels good to clear them up finally. The oddest things we have found? False teeth. Too many. Some were in boxes in their storage locker and some were in other boxes in the closets. When the bathroom closet was cleaned out, more false teeth were found there too but those got tossed. People, throw out your false teeth. If they don't fit, don't keep them! LOL Just saying .....
Batting. All the batting odds and ends have been sorted and binned ready to piece. One frankenpieced batting has already been assembled (number two) and will be used soon. I'm keeping count of the number that gets pieced.
On the sewing front ..... the project on the left, the sewn rows are being joined together. On the right, still deciding about borders.
