My sincere apologies for not getting on in a long time.  Life has a way of getting in the way of the best laid plans. 

It has been quite a year.  A severe fall in late October landed me in the hospital, and healing took a while.  I am healthy now, and busy trying to catch up.

I have reorganized my studio.  I am so excited about it.  I removed the bookcases from the south wall, and put my design wall there.  It is much larger and can accommodate much bigger quilts.  I only have one bookcase in my studio now, this  holds books and some little reminders of who I am.  My stash room is all pressed, folded and put away.  I was amazed with how much fabric I had that wasn't put away. 

I have gotten the center of a king-sized southwestern quilt done with the first border.  It will go on my bed (I know, finally a quilt for ME!).  I need to design corner blocks.  I had originally planned on mitering the corners, but the stripe that goes best with the center is an uneven stripe and miters just don't work.  So today I'll get those blocks done and then finish the top this week.

I have also gotten a paper pieced orchid small quilt center done.  It was originally supposed to be a table runner, but I am changing it (of course!) to a small wall quilt.  Need to design a border for it and then quilt it.

I am also working on a cat quilt based on a snail's trail block.

Today was to be a busy day, but with the truck down for repairs, I'll be quilting instead.  Not a bad option, although I wish I could have gone riding this morning.

Here's to finishing quilts and having a wonderful work area!
