Well, 2020 has been a dismal experience so far. Just after midnight on New Year's Eve I started to feel sick, and it was a miserable and violent norovirus that had invaded my body. Today it feels like I will actually survive, and only the headache and weakness remain. It has been a brutal start to this decade.
While I have been laying in bed waiting to feel better, I have been dreaming about the projects I want to work on this year. I have been participating in One Monthly Goal for a couple of years now and it has been very helpful in finishing up old projects ... thanks to Patti for hosting the link up. Last year I had 14 UFOs on my list and 7 quilts were finished. Pretty awesome! This month I want to finish my "Chocolate Dance" quilt. It was made from the leftovers of the Square Dance Mystery (also still a UFO!)
Chocolate Dance
It was on the 2019 UFO list for last year but didn't get any attention. I have a piece of brown minkee for the backing, and it will be my first attempt at quilting with this kind of fabric. Linking up to One Monthly Goal.
Sorry to hear that 2020 has hit you with a bad card. Hope you'll feel better soon. Chicken soup is always the best thing and rest of course. Good luck with the cold and your goal for January. ;^)
hope you feel better soon what a rotten way to start the new year, I keep dreading the thought that it might hit me one day it has been a long time since I was sick.
You have had company --I also took real ill New Years Eve--well really I think it was around 2am New Year's day--Have not been sick with the flu or cold for years--but here I am--on meds--oh well-- Sorry to hear you where so sick too--but we will get better and we will be doing all those fun and tedious projects real soon--take care and get better-- love the chocolate dance and what a neat name for it! luv, di
I know what you went through. I had it last Sunday. Spent the whole day in bed and it wasn't until just after noon the next day that I started to feel human again. It went through the whole family just before and just after Christmas. Have fun with your new/old projects.
Well, at least the year is sure to get better after such a rough start. Sorry that you aren't feeling well, but hopefully you will have a fresh start when the virus has passed.
Sorry you’re feeling poorly. My 2020 got off to a similar start with the worst asthma attack of my life. I’m feeling better today. Hope you are on the mend as well.
I'm so sorry you've been sick! Hopefully you'll be feeling well enough to eat real chocolate soon. Meanwhile, just looking at Chocolate Dance should help :)
Oh no, that norovirus must have derailed your usual New Year's Day sew along. There seems to be a lot of sickness going away everywhere this early in the season. Hope you are on the mend. Pat
Poor you! I’ve had norovirus twice and it is absolutely horrid! You have my deepest sympathy. Hopefully by tomorrow you should be feeling more like yourself and less wretched. Best wishes from me. 😊
I'm so sorry that you have the Noro Virus Kathy...I have heard that it is going around in a big way and I hope I manage to avoid it. I woke up on January 1st with a cold but it is nothing in comparison. Feel better soon.
Kathy: Chocolate Dance is lovely. I too am suffering from norovirus, it is a shame how this illness keeps us down, I am gaining my strength again finally. I hope you are back to yourself very soon.
The problem with not reading ahead before you comment on an older post is not seeing what's happened since that post in question. So sorry you ended up sick for the New Year. Hoping that's the worst you get this year. Good luck with your OMG this month.

So sorry to hear about your illness. Hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh no, noro can be really terrible! Hopefully your year will be like the weather--in like a lion, out like a lamb. 🤗

ReplyDeleteHappy quilting! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are well by now. The trick to quilting with Minkee is to spray baste it (well).
