Quilting The Cat's Quilt

 Yesterday was another lovely fall day with a high of 21C. This morning it was 7C and partly cloudy. We are to get to 20C today with the possibility of showers tonight. 

Lifestyle

Elliott is much better. He greeted me this morning asking for his breakfast. He came with me to the couch to get his medication and seems to know he has to have it first. He is sassy and happy. 

The Spousal Unit watered the lawns yesterday to dampen the over seeding. He was really tired when done. I did some housework and was tired. Part of the reason is that we are both tired of the pandemic and its restrictions. We know they are for ours and others safety. We are both having knee pain which is tiring. And, we are staying home a lot with our day trip to Truro cancelled due to the 4th wave. 

There were 66 new cases of the virus reported yesterday. 61 of them are in the northern health zone in a community outside of Truro. The rest are in the Halifax area. There are 4 people in the hospital, 3 of them in Truro. We have 173 active cases in the province. There was a briefing yesterday and we are not moving into phase 5 of the reopening plan today. We have 72.2% of the entire population double vaccinated. The spike in cases, community spread, and the cases in other Atlantic provinces are the reasons we haven't fully opened. We have at least 2.5 weeks more of Phase 4. We wait and see after that. It is better to be careful than to be reckless. 

Sewing

I spent 2 hours in the sewing room quilting the cat's quilt. I did a row of stitching on each side of the seam allowances.

It isn't perfect but I am happy with it so far. 

Every beginning and ending thread has been knotted and buried. Next up is the black border. 

Knitting

The second leg was finished and both legs are joined and I'm knitting merrily away to the eyelet row. Not many rows left to go. I won't have the complete test done in 2 days but I should have the jumpsuit done by then. 

Today

We head out soon for hair cuts, home to do a few small things like uncover the vegetable boxes, quilt and knit. Another day at home. 

Until the next time...........................................................
