Here is the backing fabric:

Isn't this a great fabric?
I wish I had more of it (as usual);
but I only had purchased 1/2 yd
quite a while ago...

I hope this finds you all safe and secure, 
sheltering in your homes

FRIDAY'S BRAIN FOG, et al

                 ↻↻↺↺↻↻ My brain during corona virus...↺↺↺↻↻↻
                                        No kidding either!!

It has been raining all night and extremely windy here...
that constant wind sound has me on edge....

So..................

After having finished Kimmi's hand quilting this week,
Today I began working on↦↦↦↦↦↡↡↡
                        my February Orange Ojos Improv piece....
                                                  ↶↶↶↶↷↷↷
                                      On my lap right now....
                                                    ;)))

  I am using this lovely Valdani thread, a light peach-ey color
                 and doing my usual big stitching...

Winds around 30 mph hoping we don't lose power...
as I am simmering my homemade bean soup for tonight's dinner...
and I also baked homemade croutons from our leftover bread crusts 
to go with it...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&     and
This morning I practiced flute; 
and
then went into the Inner Sanctum
hahaha to do a bit of sewing...
and 
I made 3 more Courthouse Steps 
(CS ) blocks...cutting strips as I went along...

[Enough for one day with laundry and regular chores...]
