@becsbuddy Having something to focus on really helps to distract us from our issues/pains/everyday struggles. Your portrait quilt of your grandson sounds like a winner! Do you have it sketched out where he is doing something he enjoys [not knowing how old he is]? I know with my quilts and artwork having something pictured in my mind and then challenging myself, or marveling at the outcome, to see how different it is from what I had pictured it is such a treat. I have several MEQs which stands for Mind's Eye Quilts that are yet to be done. I have the fabric, I have the ideas, sometimes just don't have the motivation or the time.
