I need to start on my quilting. Yesterday was a perfect day to begin sorting and visualizing the quilt and pattern.
As I waked to my sewing stash, I found several pieces of fabric marked Fab 1. Fab 2. Up to Fab 6. You get the picture.
I bought this several months ago and had forgotten. Hey saved me a lot of money yesterday. So I wont count the initial cost..
So I gather all my projects up and head to Quilts in the Attic, a beautiful place to spend a few hours touching and appreciating fabrics. This store is located in Old Downtown Cottonwood. A town where the sidewalks are still at least three feet above the highway. A town full of cowboys and cowboy shops, Saddlery, Farm supplies Etc.
I could go to a much fancier store in Redding but I love this one. This feels like home.
Sheryl, the owner, (has MS) has handmade quilts all over the old brick walls, It has two tiny windows at the back and the entire store is about the size of my living area. It is so homey and smells like the seasons. (cinnamon, spices and fabric).
I take what I have and the ladies help me pick out more of the same, I am going to make these two quilts exactly alike, Not second guessing, Just Cut It.
This is an easy quilt to do as I can strip quilt it and Yes, I do piece it on my sewing machine. I can probably make this quilt in two days, but that is not taking many breaks. The hardest part is cutting out. That is hard on my back, I usually end up lying down between cuts to relieve the pressure on my spine. It is the bending that hurts.
So enough complaining. I now have my quilt fabric ready to work on, the days are cooling off so I have an excuse to stay inside and not concern my self over outside projects.
As I came home from shopping, I suddenly got really sick. Really sick. I called my husband and told him I could Not pick him up as I was terribly sick.
I went in to lie down and suddenly My head was spinning and I got sick at my stomach.
Without too much detail, the bathroom needed mopped as I did not run fast enough.
David came home and checked on me, then told me to just rest. I did until 530. That was about 3 hours of sleeping. He kept checking on me to see if I was OK but I was just sick. When I got up I Knew I should eat so he made tomato soup for me and a roast beef sandwich for himself.
Man I let him down a lot lately I am not cooking much, I just don't have the stamina.
Now for today, I just went in and had my hair highlighted and cut. It was looking awfully drab. The perm had reddened the ends and it was frizzy. I was not sure of the coloring as I still have lots of dark hair but Hey I needed a lift so today I am blond again. My natural color can be seen in the photos taken at my Sons a couple of weeks ago.
So that is my day or days, Not a lot going on and Now I need to rest again. I am pooped, worn out, exhausted, wiped out, done in. You name it I feel it.
Was I complaining again? Forgive me I am daft too.

It sounds like fun times ahead making the quilts. I know who ever gets them will love them just because you made them. I hope you're feeling better.
