My brother Doug was 15 years younger than me, and he died March 19. He was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in July 2020. We knew his death would likely happen before the rest of us.

So I checked what I had in my stash and found these fabrics:
They're not all especially "Christmas" but they are red and green and that says Christmas to me.
Surprisingly I settled on a pattern quite quickly, and was cutting and piecing within an hour of pulling the fabrics.
I made as many blocks as I ...

read moreRemember I shared with you I had taken a fall last month? It is mostly better; I still feel a twinge when I lie on my left side a certain way. I must have bruised a muscle there. I mention this again because it reminded me about a blog I used to follow faithfully, the Carolina Stitcher. Faye, back in 2019, took a very bad fall which broke her arm in two places and shattered her elbow. Her son gave several updates on her blog but then nothing. Just wonder what happened to her. Anybody know?? As for myself, I ...
