While waiting for the kidney stone to pass, I had bad days with pain or discomfort and I had good days when I was actually able to function - even get a little sewing done.
I went to a local quilt show with my quilting pal, Vicki, on Saturday. My left leg was giving me fits of pain off and on because I hadn't been taking my meds for it during the previous week, but I made it through the show... got some pics of outstanding quilts, a couple of yards of fabrics and one pattern for a cellphone holder ( kind of like a beanbag), and a fat quarter was given to me by Carolyn (The Hen House) to use and show her with the plan that the finished item ( quilt, whatever) will be on display at the shop once it's done. It's a beautiful black on white print that I really really like and the plan right now is to get some more of it and use it in the black & white dresden plate quilt that I plan on starting after I get Christmas gifts done.
Speaking of Christmas gifts, that's what I've been working on... some I can share now, others, I can't. Here's the one I did yesterday
It's a reversible cape for our almost 4 yr old great grandson, Mason. I think he's going to love 'flying' around with his cape flapping behind him.
This morning, I did the Rudolph towel... Santa was done probably about a month ago.
One set done and something like six more to go. I plan on making them for all of the adult 'girls' in our family. The pieces are almost ready for another pair and I hope to get them done today.
Because of my kidney stone, I had to postpone the Strings for Siren day this past Friday at our monthly sew in at the library. Colette and Cindy made up blocks for me anyway and, hopefully, along with blocks made by other members, we'll have enough for two quilts when we start assembling them into quilt tops at the sew in next month.
Ok, back to the sewing room.... catchcha later!
