A very long hiatus!

So very much has happened since I last posted on this blog.  Some wonderful things, some not so great....

I am looking forward to celebrating my mother's 90th birthday on Tuesday.  She is doing fairly well...dementia has pretty much taken over her mind but her body is healthy.  She gets very frustrated once in awhile but she moves on.

I had not been quilting very much since my mother was moved to a nursing home.  I had to get my house cleared out and ready for sale.  Now I have a new little house (Cozy Cottage) and am finally getting my sewing room set up again.  Since this spring, I have finished five quilt tops that are all ready to be quilted.  I am putting the binding on another that I finished awhile back.

I will share one with you now...this quilt is from one of Kari Schell's Mystery Class (please don't look at the mess behind it!)...I will be excited to see it finished!  If you have not taken a class from Kari, I highly recommend it.  She does a great job of writing patterns and gives wonderful instructions.
