Another Day: Sunday

Started the day by attending a church service via Facebook.  A church I have been thinking about joining does online services. Well now pretty much all churches in The Villages are only doing online worship. It's been a long time since I have been to church. There are a variety of reasons for this, one of which I have been too lazy to get up, dressed, and willing to drive to go. Not good reasons I know but it is what it is.  However I really enjoyed watching the worship this morning. Maybe this will become a weekly thing and when we can once again join in personal group worship I will go. We will see. No promises. There are other issues with corporate church and worship I need to deal with.

After "church" I got sucked into the internet. This is not unusual. My computer can often be my downfall keeping me from accomplishing things. Around noon I decided I needed to get a few things done. I ate, I showered and I did some sewing! Also I talked  to some folks on the phone. Now,
for most people talking on the phone is not a big deal. However, for me it is. You see I hate talking on the phone. Not sure why, but I just do.  This isolation though from friends and family has made the phone pretty much only the contact I can have with anyone. I'm getting better about talking on the phone but it still is difficult. I think part of the problem is even in person I am not a chit-chatter. Small talk is not something I have ever enjoyed. My thoughts on the phone are get to the point, say what needs to be said and goodbye.  That doesn't really work in these times however. So, I will keep working on my phone skills, but if you call please be patient with me.  (Who am I kidding no one is reading this.)

Enough, lets get on to what corona crafts I worked on today. For the moment until I uncover other small projects, which I am sure are out there, I am working on UFO's that can not be finished in one day.  Today I worked on two different ones, First is a small wall-hanging that I have no idea when I began.  It is mostly paper pieced.  At this point I just sewed the blocks together. Tomorrow I plan on sewing on the borders, taking the papers off the back and quilting it. Then I will bind it and what happens to it after that who knows...... I do like it however,

Also I worked with some blocks I found along with pieces to make more blocks.  I will continue working on these and eventually they will be put together to become a charity quilt. One of my goals for this year is to use my sewing and quilting skills to help people who may need what I can produce.  These blocks are definitely just a beginning, but I found lots of pieces cut and ready to sew. 

So for a while now there probably won't be any finished projects, but I hope to keep working on these two. When they are complete there are many more waiting to take their place. You know I am really liking this finishing up things that I began who knows when.

The one thing that will take their place is making face masks for hospital workers.  Lindsay and Nate have asked me to help provide these for hospitals in the LA area, I have plenty of fabric I am just waiting for elastic that they have ordered for me. as soon as it arrives sewing masks will become my main project!
