Another week interrupted. DH turned another year older this week, and as birthdays and holidays have always been hard for him as a child of divorced parents, we decided to take a trip and just get away from the house (and phone) for a few days. We traveled down to the Ouachita Mountains to a remote cabin and enjoyed the quiet and interruption to normal life (and no anxiety about COVID for a little while).
Of course, traveling means no machine, so I finished some hexagon stitching and the binding on my green Rick Rack Nines quilt (posted yesterday).
So when we returned home, I finally stitched two more blocks for my farm quilt. I love my hot chocolate mug, so a mug seemed appropriate, and we have a Great Pyrenees dog named Hope. Of course, this dog doesn’t have the right shape of face, but there’s a limit to the acrobatics my brain can do right now.

P.S. It’s Rainbow Scrap Challenge time. Fortunately, next week is still the same color, so I can redeem myself on my lack of blocks!
