Busy! Busy!

It seems that the people I hang around have been getting things accomplished.  It is inspiring me to get busy myself.


The picture shows several of the projects I've been working on.  Strip sets for my upcoming retreat in Tuolumne, CA. , 40+ star blocks for a quilt pattern I'm working on, finished putting a binding on a quilt, and here are a couple of my most recent Patchwork of the Crosses blocks.

Training is also well underway to run a 5k with my daughter in February.  We will be doing the San Diego Color Run with a number of her students and their families.  I'm excited to be a part of this.

Blessings to each of you as you get "things" accomplished.

Long Time

It is hard for me to come to terms with how long it has been since I've written anything.  January has zipped by again.

It has been a busy month getting ready for my winter retreat in CA and spring retreat in MI.  I feel pretty close to ready with everything for California and well on my way to getting things together for the Michigan retreat.

I missed a week with a stomach bug that knocked me down hard and now my husband has his socks knocked off with a miserable cold.  He has been wanting comfort food each day.  I have made the chicken and dumplings, various soups and tonight it is meatloaf.  Do you have favorite comfort foods that make you feel better?  What are they?

For myself I have started the Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses Quilt.  It is english paper piecing and quite a lovely quilt.   I'll share pictures of the blocks with you soon.

Have a wonderful week and try something new!
