Thanks

Thanks for visiting. I am just putting "it" out there. If you read don't be offended. This is where I vent about my sometimes crappy life. But, I live it hopefully every day praying for a better day.. I have lost so many friends in the last three years.. If I didn't bitch.. I'd cry everyday..

Quilting, applique

No machine quilting done..
Two blocks made.. One for block of the month.  Scotty dog
                               One for Ella Thomas who lost her son a couple of weeks ago..


It's been hot.  and my quilting has wandered around.  But, I have made a couple of good meals with the Foreman Grill.. Grilled chicken breasts, and then turkey burger's.. So tonight it is beef.  DH can only hand a couple of none beef meals really.. I could live on no beef..  May try some sister blocks this afternoon or something with triangles which are my favorite.. Have a cool day..

These are 4 of the quilts I have completed in the last 6 weeks.. Feel very slow and not very productive.  I will have to add Vision Lost..It was shown at the Guilds little quilt show on Monday.. No one got it.. One lady did.. It was dedicated to loss of sight through diseases macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal detachment, MS, cataracts, aging.. It was an experiment in painting and applique.. 
Oh, dah, I have it .. I can add pics again and get going on this again..
I am going to discontinue my cable.  Boy, I can hear them now, but.. It is too much of a distraction for me.. Gotta get organized here and simplify.. to move on to changes which always happen..
Fibro-world is acting up today.. Don't have a clue why.. Better tomorrow.
I'm still working on a nine patch with strips and corner blocks.. Haven't figured out again how to add photos.. Used to be so simple go and link to picasa and upload.. Don't know what I'm missing here..
Will read the help stuff again.. Going to help a friend clean out her closet tomorrow of un-used clothes. This shall be fun.. The best thing is to see all the cleared space appear.. Now I can help others but my own purge is going slower.  Hubby is always ," but you may need that.." I am hoping for a run to the garbage dump this week to help clear out the basement some.. Baby steps sometimes.  Back to the USGA golf tournament.  In my next life I want to be able to play that game.. And walk more.. For now it would be nice to have more stamina.  May join the YMCA .. since I am so thrilled with joining the library..
