Thanks for posting her tiger.  I sure hope she is right.  We could use good news all over the world.

That will be a great addition to your quilt.  How big is that piece?

Sorry you were all ill for Christmas.  Did your son get it too?   I know only a couple of people who have had Covid.  I guess I run in the right crowd(I'd call it a small group rather than a crowd.)  Hope you get well soon.

Awww... that is really neat.  I hope your patience is successful and you can get all that stuff off..  I am so looking forward to seeing this quilt.

My goodness, you have busy!  I have ordered from Marshall Dry Goods before and was very pleased with their fabric.  Was it bigger than Hancocks of Paducah?  I went to MSCQ about 6 years ago so I'm sure it has changed quite a bit.  It's amazing how she changed that town.

I hope to put a narrow border on it and then keep it to 8" x 10" finished size.  Some of my other blocks are working out to be 9" x  9".

Oh, Dee, that's a shame.

Call it the "Chicken Soup Christmas" because that's probably all your family felt like eating. From what DH and I have been reading this big national wave of illness has been very mild so your comment about it "feeling like a cold" sounds accurate.

Dee sorry you all got sick. Hopefully you all feel better soon.

It was this past Monday night/Tuesday morning that I fell ill with a cold.  I did a home test and was covid negative.  It's the first cold I've had in years and it was yucky.   What was weird is that the symptoms came in waves ... I didn't have them all at the same time.  Runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, rumbling cough, nasal congestion, bone aches.  No appetite.  And I slept.  and slept and slept from Tuesday morning through Thursday mid-afternoon.  My eyes were so tired I wasn't even reading any books in bed ... I just slept.

But now I feel less like death warmed over and food sounds appetizing again.  Nope, I didn't do any sewing at all.

"Bone aches" sounds like a flu-type illness to this old fogey. 

A "normal cold" (or upper respiratory infection a.k.a. URI) usually does not involve body aches.  Nurses on this forum might chime in. Maybe you had a false negative on that test.
