Fourteen Years...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today is 14 years since I was pulled by the jaws of life from my F150; unconscious and 13 weeks pregnant.

My son and I are both fine and doing well.  

Two years ago I found this panel and coordinating fabric.  Along with some Kona Solids from Sew Sisters I made the panel into a quilt:

Unfortunately the finished quilt top was "losted" (yes a made up word but fits the situation) to me.  Recently I was able to get it back and a fabulous long arm quilter (she has done quilts for me years ago) who is part of my local quilt guild long armed it for me and had it completed for me yesterday in honour of today.

I LOVE how it turned out:

I am "sew" intrigued with how the checkered area points all match and the stitching corresponds to it.  😻😻😻

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

This Time????

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today was my day off so that meant errands and appointments.  A VERY busy day.  It was made better though by a friend of mine who lives close to one of the places I had to be and made me a soup and sandwich lunch.  The soup was so filling that I could not eat the sandwich so she packed it for me.  I will have it for lunch tomorrow.  🍞

One of the errands I did was dropping of a couple of quilts to be long armed.  The lady I dropped them off to did a quilt for me about 8 years ago and then I sort of lost contact with her.  She now lives about a 10 minute drive from me.  "Sew" excited.

The quilts I dropped off for her were quilts that I waited to have done for 22 months (seriously)!!!  As part of my New Year commitment to myself I have decided to really work my my mantra of "Ask Once".  If it does not happen then I will do it myself.  Since these quilts were still not done I simply asked for them  to be returned to me.  Two weeks in the garden shed and with a bit of unscented Febreze and they were good to go:

They are now in the cue to be done.  Sew" excited!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
