I didn’t expect to do any piecing while I was up in Virginia this week but I had a little time this afternoon so I cut and assembled this Quicker Strippie – this variation of my Quick Strippie pattern is perfect for those large novelty prints that you don’t want to cut into 6.5 inch strips.
Brief cutting directions can be found on my website at this link.
Things haven’t gone as planned this trip … I had a few days to visit with Mom before developing a severe sinus headache and congestion. Worried about making her sick I didn’t go over for a couple days as I waited to see if any more symptoms would develop. They didn’t thankfully and I did a virtual Dr’s visit to discuss whether it would be safe to attend the birthday celebrations this weekend and to get some meds to relieve the pain and pressure. I got the OK to attend which is great because it would have been so difficult to be here and not celebrate with her. Unfortunately Chris and Mo had to cancel their visit because he also had some respiratory thing going on. Can’t be too careful with Mom!!
Keith’s been busy with work but found some time to assemble a TV stand/electric fireplace we bought for the apartment. It’s MUCH better than the table we were using and with the temps here, a little extra heat is nice!
We tease Keith about not being too mechanically inclined but he did a pretty good job!
