A day of Quilting

What a great day I have finished a quilt that I started a few weeks ago. The top only took me a day to do but I didn't have enough batting and my leg was hurting. I used my coupon to JoAnns for the batting and Bam! it's done with pillow slips to match. This was a fun and very easy quilt to make loved it and the colors.

I have one more quilt top to quilt and finish this weekend. This means that I only have 4 unfinished quilts to go. WOW ya for me this is the least amount of unfinished tops that I have had in years. My plan is working and I love it.
Plan is 1. don't start any new big quilts until the tops that have already been done are finished. 2. Use as much as my own stash for these projects and any new projects that is started.3. Make and give away to someone in need one quilt a month. I love the thought of doing some sewing room clean up. The giving away makes my heart feel really warm and fuzzy. LOVE is a Great thing. :)

This is the fabric that I think I might be using in a doll quilt swap that I am in at About.com this is a nice group of quilters.

Getting back on my feet again

Well I am getting to be my old self again. It has been a few weeks that I have not been on here making notes. I have had good reason though. Earlier this month I had some bad veins in left leg removed. I didn't think it was going to take this long to get better but it has. I also didn't think it would bruise the way it did either but it did. These are a few photos they are a bit gross.

This to me looks nasty. I'm so glad that I had it done because I can already feel the difference and see the difference in how my leg looks. Today on day 14 the bruising is almost gone the swelling has gone down and the pain is almost gone as well.I'm still real slow and I can't stand for very long or sit in one place for very long. This is not doing my mood very good though.Working as a massage therapist or being able to sit at the sewing machine to do my quilting projects are what keep me together and half way sane. So I'm so happy to be up moving about.
