Once the puppies are house-trained (we're almost there now) I can get back to quilting, so I'm looking at my pending projects now and deciding what I want to do. This is the time of year when I usually decide what to make for Mom's birthday, so I'm a little sad. This modern quilt kit will be my winter project for sure; I'm making it as a Christmas gift for someone I love.
I also want to do one more art quilt, probably lap-size, with these recycled hand-dyed fabrics. I might do a quilt-as-you-go project.
For the puppies I want to make these bunny blocks into a quilt I can put in their crate. Three seems like a reasonable number to finish before the end of the year.

I know this will be a sad time for you. It's going to be for awhile. But it will get easier. I buried my mother Christmas eve morning, many years ago now. In early January, I took back the gift I'd bought her, a very expensive cardigan that I just couldn't keep since she was a tiny, petit thing and I'm not. When the woman at Hudson's (it was still Hudson's then) asked me the reason for the return, I broke. I hadn't cried until then because I was dealing with a father who fell apart completely and a one year old. But this just...was too much. Thankfully, my mother-in-law had gone with me and took over, but it was so hard. It took a long time to not have moments like that. A long time. But it will get easier. Hugs to you, my friend.
