I've been trying to get over a cold/flu thing complicated by seasonal allergies.  Over the weekend I didn't really get anything done except to clean out my sewing room.  It was huge task but so worthwhile.  Nothing feels better than entering a sewing room that's been reorganized.

I  caught the cold/flu thing from my brother. 

I think at first Jim felt bad about that and started picking up Lucky every morning to entertain him (my husband is not that kind of dog lover).  Lucky loved going with him and even recognizes his car coming down the street which tickles my brother to no end.

Lucky does have tantrums.  Sometimes it's when we leave someone's house or pass a dog he wants to play with in the park.  He grabs the leash as if to play tug of war and growls like he is so fierce 😂

He did this to my brother the other day and my brother dropped the leash because he read somewhere that is how to curb that behaviour.  Lucky looked at the leash, picked up the end that people hold and gave it back to my brother.  He doesn't want to lose his people. 💗

I'm slowly binding a quilt and cutting fabric for my next quilt.  This is the first year that I realize that I'm probably not going to get many quilts completed.  That's okay.  The journey is fun enough.

I'm also taking my time on the garden.  It's an overwhelming amount of weeds but I am working on it as I can.  A lot of my bushes are burnt by frost and cold temps.  We had that weather that was 20F a week or so ago and it really did a number on my bushes.  I'm sure all will survive but it startled me to see how bad things looked. Hydrangea and Rhododendron:

  

Lastly, I'm wondering if you will look at a quilt idea I found.  The youtube channel is "Karen Quilts" and the link is here.  She made a crazy quilt with indigos and I'm attracted to what she did.  I have some indigo type fabrics and didn't know what to do with them.  This appeals to me.  What do you think?

Have a safe and happy day!
