I finished the 6th section of the hexagons last night. This one took the longest as I had to make a bunch more of the hexagons to 'finish' off the odd bits leftover from the end of the months... and add 4 yellows as February was 28 days so no extra's. The last 2 sections are already in sets of 4 so it should go together pretty quickly.
As I have been working on these I have noticed the last 2 months that threading needles and looking at the stitching up close to whip stitch together has been more difficult. I had an eye appointment yesterday. My last one was in 2018! Yikes, I did not realize it had been that long. I have prescription sunglasses for a slight adjustment on distance for driving. He actually backed that off slightly.... not bad for my 49 year old eyes! He did recommend slight help with the readers. I don't have eye insurance so opted to hit CVS this morning and picked up a pair of 'readers' for +1 as it said on my prescription. $20 compared to over $300! I put them on when I got home and it does make a difference on the close up. I could read it before but it is just like bolding the type when I have them on. Makes the type a little clearer and crisp. We will see how it works later today when I do some hand stitching. They had about 6 pairs to choose from. I went with the purple ones. The blue ones were a close second.
Time for a quick walk before it rains or gets too hot and then a shower and into the quilt room I go! I saw these wild turkeys last night on my walk before the rains started. I wonder if I will see them again today?
