I really have to get my act together! I've actually been working on something but in all honesty I am finding that sleep is what I constantly crave.
Those Paper Pieces came into the store last week and I love them - they are far easier than Quilt Patis and so I'm busy working on a project I started at least 2 years ago with the Pati's but found with the "neuropathy" (side effect of the chemo - pins and needles and numbness in the hands and feet) I found them extremely difficult to work with. The paper is much easier! It's called Lithia Park and was posted in McCall's Quilting in February 2009 http://www.mccallsquilting.com/content_downloads/Lithia_Park.pdf . I fell in love with it because I had the fabrics I thought would be gorgeous in the quilt. Judith had brought in the magazine and I pounced on it, but, as we all know - best intentions! I did start it way back when and have sporadically worked on it over the past couple of years but now I find I've gravitated back to it. Will try and get some pics tomorrow and post my progress.....
Been a slave of the TV and my bed but am really coming along. I see the oncologist again on November 9th and really can't wait! I should be given a "clean" bill of health at that time but plan on being back in the store shortly, slow but steady......
Have a great day everyone....

I told ya the papers were easier to work with! :-D Patis are too slippery, especially for the diamond shapes.
