Popping in again to see what everyone is doing, and thought I'd send a
post to let you all know I'm doing just fine. Things are slowly but
surley healing and improving. Dealing with side effects still, of
course, but the worst is now over...patience has never been my strong
suite, but I have certainly learned to have more of it over the past
several months :)
Went to a quilt show two weekends ago - it was just down the road from
my house so how could I not? It was sponsored by the local guild, and
was just wonderful and so inspiring. What really blew me away was a
quilted evening gown and matching cape - it was totally breathtaking.
I spent the entire morning there - went through the HUGE hall three
times, taked to all of the vendors, sat through the quilt-turning (I
love that part) - and was just pooped out when I got home. But it was
so worth it; I even ran into several people I hadn't seen in months.
It was great.
And, I finished a quilt!! A autumn wall hanging for my entryway. The
top was actually completed over a year ago so back in June I took it
out and got it ready to be quilted. It took all those months to
finish, but bit by bit I did it. The neat thing is, now I can
actually say that I finished a quilt this year.
Blessings to all,
Irene

Because we love you, because we miss you, because we need you . . . so very
happy to hear from you. Recently, Ginger asked a SM question and I was
waiting to see your answer and remembered that you were recovering and might
not see her puzzle. And, Irene, I hadn't thought about a quilt for our
entryway. Lovely idea. Why didn't I think of that? Polly

Great achievements, Irene. So very good to hear that you are beginning
to heal. Hope those darned side effects start to disappear over the
next few months.
What a year to be able to say that you finished a quilt - on top of
everything else. Fantastic! Thanks for dropping by to let us know how
you are.

Excellent news! I am so happy to hear that you are doing well.
Congratulations on finishing a quilt in the midst of what you are
dealing with. The patience part is hard, isn't it?
Take care!
Rita
