She wants to get back to crafting, but her life is too complicated at the moment. I was showing her photos of one of the Enigma bags I have made and it occurred to me that she might like one. I asked her and she said she would be &#8216;honored&#8217;!!! That makes me laugh.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_61482\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61482\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20240115_083718_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-61482\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20240115_083718_wm-sm-300x219.jpg\" alt=\"Enigma #3 start for JMo\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20240115_083718_wm-sm-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20240115_083718_wm-sm-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20240115_083718_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-61482\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enigma #3 start for JMo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Anyway, I finally got started on this Enigma. It came about when I was hunting through some bins of dots for <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2024\/01\/more-new-pantone-blocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pantone blocks fabrics<\/a>. I found the perfect dots based on her color request and decided it was time to start.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t have much left of the pink main fabric, so I found the stripes, which go great with that fabric. I will use it, as you can see for the sides.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think people realize that there are people who have kids who need care at the same time their parents need care. I know that is the term &#8216;sandwich generation&#8217;, but I don&#8217;t think people really think about it. If you know someone in this situation quietly help them out or do something nice for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am still trying to figure out what my goal for bags will be this year.
