Thankful

I know it has been a month or more since I wrote here on my blog, but I have been very busy looking after myself. I have been at the hospital in their three week ReCHARGE programme, designed to help people in chronic pain to cope with life and hassles. I am very thankful for the gym time, pool time, education classes, and comradery I felt there. It was a long three weeks, but well worth the time and hassle of being separated from my sweet love.This is so me!! I am thankful for my time there.

Since being home this week, I have designed another quilt. This one is a medallion type (center design with multiple borders). I have never done one like this before and I LOVE IT! I will be making this one available as a quilt along. It is a three color quilt and I have worked out all the sizes from a wall hanging to a king. When Shane saw my pattern, he asked me to make it big enough for our bed, so I did!! I am really loving how it is working up. I am on the last border and I ran out of one of my fabrics...poor me, I have to go fabric shopping.....hehehehehe! I am thankful for a week at home to play!!

Tuesday, the first "real" clue comes out for the mystery I have been working on. I am taking pictures and working hard on all the instructions. It is so much fun doing this. I believe I have found a niche that I really enjoy. It seems a lot of quilters enjoy my patterns as well, many are making my mystery patterns. I guess I need to get busy and design another one for the quick quilters sewing my designs. This mystery quilt is called Desert Pinwheels. Spoiler alert: we will be making the pinwheels first, but that's the only given. It is a beautiful pattern as well. I'll show you in about six or seven weeks when the reveal is public. I have everything ready to sandwich and quilt it. I will be quilting it this next week. Thankful for another quilt for our bed.

Next week, I also hope to design another mystery, finish a teddy bear I am working on, and quilt this mystery. I also want to get the last border on the medallion. I'll show you the medallion when it is finished, hopefully Monday or Tuesday. Shopping tomorrow, church Sunday, and hoping to walk and workout on Monday...all morning things (except church!), so I get my afternoons to play. Looking forward to a great and productive week.

Thanks for listening!
