Aquamarine Out of Doors

 

I stayed up late the other night finishing the binding on the Aquamarine quilt. I had twelve inches left when it was time to go to bed, and I decided to just keep going. The next morning I brought it outside to take some beauty shots. 

I wasn't really feeling it. I knew I'd have to try again, but it was OK, because I have time before I give the quilt away.

Just as I went into the house I decided to throw the quilt over the railing. As I stepped back to take the picture I knew it was the best shot of the morning.

You never know.


I have a definitive date for re-entry at the office. My new workspace will be set up essentially where my old one was. It will be built specifically for my needs and consideration has been given so I won't be in a high traffic area and will have some privacy. All but one person (who has her own office) in the "front office" where I will work is fully vaccinated. This one person refuses. (Don't ask, I could go on for days...) I will be able to work mask-free for most of the day, I can mask up if I need to move around or go out into the factory. 70% of my coworkers have had at least one shot or are fully vaccinated and another 20% have appointments scheduled. That makes me feel very good. (Except for that one person, of course, but that person has been giving me grief since I started WFH so I just open my ears wide and let the invective in one ear and go straight out the other. I don't report to this person, so it makes things much easier.)

Please try to ignore them, avoid them where possible and try to embrace the normalcy of life where possible. It is horrible to have one person control the fate of others.

Beautiful shots of the quilt.

It's a lovely quilt - sent you a text, too. Glad you are feeling good about your return to the office - unvaccinated folks notwithstanding.

Thanks for the glamor shots- makes the quilt even more attractive.

Really like this quilt, both the colors and the design. Sounds like you'll be okay at the office. The lone vaccine refuser is the one in danger, although it sounds like there are more challenges in dealing with her than the vaccine issue. Go forth with an open mind and a positive attitude.

Beautiful fabrics set in a great design. Congrats on a lovely finish.
I’m glad you are able to go back to work but sorry you have to put up with those who deny science. I wonder if they expect doctors to wash their hands and wear a masks they are operated on? So very unkind to refuse to help others.
