New Block - New Year

Time to reveal the next block for the Early American Life quilt.



This was a fun block to make.  Be sure to check with Karen and see her version.  Four blocks down and 12 to go.


I was able to get the final block done for my Christmas BOM.  It is the first time sewing for me since I came down with Bells Palsy.  My right eye waters a great deal so I cant sew for to long. 



I was hoping to get it done for Christmas...but this darn virus got in the way.


Another planned project....



These are tree blocks from a Cheri Payne Christmas book.  I was wanting to make either a wall quilt or a table runner.  These blocks went together so easy.  Oh well, there is always next year.


A health update.  My face is still droopy.  I drink everything using a straw and pinching the right side of my mouth.  Eating is a real adventure.  I have no taste on the right side.  My ear still hurts and my right eye waters.  I start physical therapy after the first of the year.  Each day I feel better (although I don't look it).

I did get a block machine pieced.  It took longer because it strains my eye.  And yesterday I prepped an applique block and started sewing it.  


I hope you had a good Christmas and have a very Happy New Year.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Cathy
