Quilts at Kaela's, baby Charlotte, quarantine in Tokyo

 

This Fall Festival Quilt (Jan Patek design) was in full use during my time at Kaela and Joe's in Texas.  

Tommy visited from college in Utah and Noelle visited from North Carolina.  I always knew Tommy was visiting, but Noelle's visit was a total surprise - the best surprise!  We all missed David and had him on FaceTime for long stretches at a time. 

Uncle Tommy bonding with Charlotte: 

I brought my Hartwell Stars quilt from Tokyo, to store at Kaela's temporarily.  

Mighty Zeus: 

And I washed Kaela and Joe's wedding quilt to freshen it up.  It makes me so happy to see that my quilts are really used and enjoyed.

Winter Quilt (blocks are from another Jan Patek design) which needed a little repair, 

And I was so happy to see how nicely Charlotte's baby quilt has washed up.  I really think quilts like this get better and better over time.

Aunt Noelle getting to know Charlotte: 

Minnie the best dog ever: 

Plenty of great tacos in Austin.  All take-out.  Glad to see Kaela and Joe taking social distancing very seriously. 

Hard to say farewell to this sweet little family but, it was time to get back home to David!  

A 24 hour journey home, with quite a process at the airports with a ton of paper work, two COVID tests,  slow lines, waiting, stress.  

Now I'm five days in to my two-week mandatory quarantine. However just a few minutes ago I heard from a friend in the know, that I am allowed to take solo walks outside during quarantine.  I'm so relieved!  

(There's a mascot for everything in Japan!!)

How I feel with jet lag, ha ha:
