After months of clicking on the website of the Patchworkmesse at Erding<\/a>, the entry form for quilts was published, and I went through the box of Finished Objects to look for a few large-enough-to-share pieces to submit.

In the mix was The Cursed Project<\/a>.

And I thought–hey, this is objectively one of the least bad things I have finished in the last three years. My signature reverse-hexies<\/a> floating on a faced background quilt<\/a>. People might enjoy looking at this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
I bought the background fabric in 1997…should have bought more.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The morning after I sent off the entry forms (the Scrapbag Flower<\/a> quilt was going along, too), a work colleague that Mr Radish had met with the week before let everyone know he popped a positive result for the ‘rona.

A day later, so did Mr Radish. I had to email the Messe and retract my submissions, because due to local household quarantine rules, I would be unable to deliver and pick up the work. The Curse Of The Yellow Quilt claims me as a victim a third time.

I have since been sentenced to my own 7-day house arrest. Yay! I’m a statistic!<\/a> It feels like the virus I brought back from Montreal in 2019 when Smokey died, except much milder. R was sicker, but through the worst of it. We’re fully stocked with cat supplies, Kr\u00e4utertee<\/em>, and burger fixin’s; if it doesn’t kill us it will just make us weirder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that’s that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
