An Upside Down Sort of Summer

This summer has definitely not gone according to my original plans. The undoing all began in June with a jaw abscess, a root canal, and an extended period of recovery. My endodontist is a jewel, but I don't look forward to our visits.

Early on during the summer, I was supposed to go on a road trip to visit a dear friend. Fortunately, she has been gracious enough to wait patiently for my health to return. If God is willing, I will still be able to make that trip before school is back in session.

I also had several home improvement projects that have stalled for the time being for various reasons. Ugh! Like Goldilocks, I sure hope that I soon find that contractor that is "just right".

In the meantime, I have tried to stay positive and get a little quilting squeezed in on most days. I have been making steady progress on my "Vivid Imagination" quilt.

These are a few quarter yards I purchased for my Halloween quilt. Isn't that purple fabric with the crows the bomb? I suppose Halloween fabrics, decorations, and color combinations are generally odd in an attractive sort of way.

 

Here are some of the most recent Halloween squares I have made. So far, I have over sixty completed. I suppose I should stop one of these days and figure out just how many I really need. That probably won't happen any time soon, because I find myself working on these little morsels when I can't control other events in my life. It might be a long road to Halloween.
