Lagging behind

As some of you know, I've been ill with shortness of breath and coughing for months.
Last week (Monday-Wednesday), I went on retreat with friends and carried the cottage block to applique and embroidery...alas, I forgot the matching thread for the cottage fabric thinking I could do the embroidery before the applique. I  did what I could. After returning on Wednesday I was admitted to the hospital with Pneumonia which we now realize I've had for at least 6 weeks.  Came home Sunday night, still recuperating, hoping to feel like stitching soon, I've brought it to my bed.

I hope you are on the mend, and get to finish your block. You aren't alone. Mine isn't finished either! Just the embroidery to go. Be well soon!
