Five Shadows

This past week I did manage to fit in some little bits of sewing. I caught up on the Twilight Stars QAL! Phew! I hope to stay on track now.

Here’s the bits that happened this past week -

To-Do Tuesday, October 3, 2023

1. Catch up on Twilight Stars QAL ✔︎
2. Progress on baby quilts for relatives. ✘

1. Twilight Stars

I caught up on the last four weeks of the Twilight Stars QAL! Two blocks per week. These are 8″ finished blocks. The butternut squash is to represent all the gardening and veggie freezing I’ve been doing for my daughter since the birth of her twin babies. Butternut squash store well as is, so that is a plus.

Today I’ll be making soups and homemade bread to share with my daughter and family. She and her husband are vegan, so I’m learning a lot about vegan cooking. I made a chickpea eggplant stew for them last night, all the veggies fresh from their garden. Yum!

2. Quilts for baby nephew and niece.

Nothing happened with these. Sigh.

My SIL has to return to work the next three days, then off the following week. So my daughter has asked me to come and help her through the day with the twins. She has them on a three hour nursing schedule and all is going well. I’m happy to help out!

OH! I forgot to announce them are home! Baby boy was released from NICU Thursday, and Baby girl on Sunday! We originally thought Baby girl would be in NICU longer. They are all so happy to be home and getting into a new family routine.
