This quarantine thing has left me rudderless and struggling to focus. And I’m probably spending too much time reading the news, then playing games and reading fiction to escape it. Spring is trying to spring here, but it’s still cold and rainy. But tomorrow is April first (after the 124 days, give or take, of March). Can real spring be far behind? xoCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765115495938525371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-34128029526014368582020-03-26T11:11:55.676-04:002020-03-26T11:11:55.676-04:00Ribbon Star is beautiful.

One good thing about having lots of quilts in the pipeline is that eventually they all get finished and flow out to do their good work in the world.
