Keep on quilting

 Well, I am not "quilting" my tops,    YET!  Still on my to do list.

But I am continuing to work on my Blockheads 1.  I like seeing the progress and working a little more over several days.  And now I have the top and bottom rows pieced together along with the side portions. All that is left is to make the center medallion.



And I have really been knitting. The scarf needs to be done in by the weekend . But as I have been sitting on the couch, watching a favorite football team lose, or trying warm up on the couch.   ( OH, the weather outside is frightful. )  But it is not in the chill factor frigid, yet.  Addendum to that: all the schools are cancelled and it is well below 0. 

Any way, the pattern is getting more automatic and I make fewer errors. And I am getting better at undoing a row of stitches. All signs of improving my knitting. This shows the coloration better.  It is about 4 or 5 feet long.  Mostly done!

I took a trip to Indianapolis to visit the family again.

Here are some pictures.


Mom (93) and I 
Friday she was very talkative and was able to answer lots of questions.
Saturday, she was not quite as good. So goes the life with dementia.


My sister, Diane and I

It was a good trip. I even got to play with my grand niece and nephew.  So darn cute.
