Thanks again for all of your concern and support over yesterday's blog post.
Here is the second installment of check-ins with Mother Mabelle.
If you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them in the video check ins.
Just to give you all a little background.....
I wanted to do something for my quilting friends that would bring joy and something positive during this awkward time in history. And who doesn't think baby chicks are one of the cutest things ever???? Mother Mabelle is a Black Austrolorp, broody hen that has sat on eggs before and has proven to be a very good sitter when it comes to hatching eggs. She has even sat the required 28 days and hatched a duck for me......it only takes a chicken 21 days to hatch. Hopefully you will enjoy these little Check Ins with Mother Mabelle, and it will give you something to smile about?

I want to thank those of you who have been checking in on me, and being genuinely concerned about my well being. I love ya'll!
In brief, I have been working. The flights are empty, usually 20 passengers or less.
I wear a mask, and try to disinfect everything I will come into contact with on the plane, and
in my hotel room. I have cut my flying back due to vacation I originally had planned at this time.
As many of you may know, I had trunk shows, lectures, and workshops scheduled throughout Tennessee and North Carolina that were forced to be cancelled. We will look at rescheduling those if and when we return to a new normal?
I wanted to catch you all up very briefly......
I am sure we are all sewing more than usual during this quarantine?
2020 has been a monster of a year thus far for me....and we are only 3 months in!
We have recently entered some very trying times.
I want to thank those of you who have personally reached out to me,
checking on my well being. I am so thankful for you all!
I don't know what I would do without friends like you!
I am safe from the corona virus as of this post. Air travel is
such a mess right now. I truly feel it would be in the best interest
of everyone, to discontinue domestic air travel for a short period of time. Please understand,
that's my opinion. I promise you all a "ketchup" post as soon as I am able.
Most of my speaking and teaching engagements over the next few months will be cancelled due to the CDC guidelines for social gatherings at this time. Anything we can
do to curb this virus is a good thing. I promise we will make up dates as soon as can be determined.
Thanks for your continued patience. I truly haven't meant to go so long between
posts. Life happens. You ALL are so important to me. I want you all to remain safe and prudent
during these unprecedented times. And, most of all......
Keep on Quilting!
Love to you all!
Thanks for all of the encouragement! Kevin the Quilter
OK......yeah......
It's been quite a while since last I posted here.
I promise you I am not a redneck that leaves his Christmas lights up
all year round. Now.....if you do that......that's your business......I don't.
When my blogging pal Joy emailed me about abandoning my blog....
well, I suppose that was the jolt I needed to sit down (with what little time I have)
and post something! Thanks Joy!
Big news!
Come visit me at Quilt Con in Austin!
I will be working in booth 404,
the Homestead Hearth/Sara J Designs booth!
I would love to meet you!
Christmas Recap
I thank God for my family!
We had a wonderful Christmas together!
These little girls did too!
It wasn't the same without
Sophia opening up her presents this year.
Momma and Daddy are like little kids on Christmas morning!
Sis and her delicious Red Velvet Cake!
I was so happy to be able to visit my Aunt Flossie Sue
in her nursing home.
I gave her this flannel quilt I had made
and she absolutely loved it!
Giving quilts at Christmas time is so joyful.
WORKING WORKING WORKING
As you all know, I take the last part of the year off using my vacation time.
When January rolls around, I am back at it.......but, this year......
after being based in Chicago for 19 years, I changed my base to Denver!
My seniority moved up quite and bit, and I am being reunited with old
flight attendant friends.
Runway ready.......Airport runway that is.....
Commuting friends......
Seriously, how could you not like this smiley guy!
I hadn't seen this gal in at least 15 years!
I am surprised we recognized each other!
You never know what you will find when
cleaning the plane..........YUCK!
My friend Sam and I completed another
year of recurrent training.......so we are good
to fly another year now.
On a sad note.....I did lose a very good flight attendant
friend. Many of my flight attendant friends and I
attended his services and placed roses on his casket.
So very sad.
February is birthday
month around here!
Mom got some chocolate covered strawberries
from my friend Mike. She LOVES these things!
Bubs is 16!
How can that be?
Mom is still 29 and holding......
It's so awesome they share the same birthday!
