I passed the Test!!!

Passed the Assisted Living Administrator's exam last Thursday.  I'm so very, very glad to have that over with!
So, in celebration of that milestone being done I made this jewel, a perfect little top for a Halloween table. Now I'm trying to decide should I scallop the edges or leave it alone??? HHHMmmmmm...

Lynchburg, VA

In Lynchburg, VA tonight, taking the Assisted Living Administrator's Exam tomorrow morning at 9am.  Everybody wish me luck!

One of my favorite, favorite blogs and designers.  Who doesn't love aqua and red??

New treasures that I've been working on and some from the past year

Let's post some pictures of the new treasures I've been working on:

This one's perfect for Spring, isn't it?  Also for sale on Etsy.

"The Dresses" on Etsy.  I don't often do blues, greens and grays for this particular top.  I navigate more toward the brighter oranges and reds for this quilt top most of the time.  Just wanted to change it up here and do something different!

This turned out so cute.  It started as a little plain  until I added the ric-rack!

All of the quilt tops from here down were made in the last year, thought you might like to see them!
I call this the "Fire Star" and this one I made last year but I thought you might want to see it.

Don't you just love the ocean colors in this one?

This is a miniature quilt, measures 18x18 inches 

Miniature

This New York Beauty ended up measuring out at  30 x 48

So there you have it!  Some of the tops I've made in the past year and then some new ones!  Have a great day, it's cold and rainy here, a perfect day to sew!

Friends in need

Got an email today from a friend of mine, actually she used to work for me in my  last job.  She has Lupus and was diagnosed at 14 with it.  She's been suffering lately with "flairs" and they've been making her life miserable.  They put in a Pic-line today so that she could get medication in her system faster.  I hate diseases, especially chronic ones.  I have a fairly bad case of arthritis but God was kind to me and gave it to me in my feet and hips. I think God knew how important it was to me to be able to sew so he decided to challenge me on another level.  Some days it's hard to walk, but I get by and my fingers work really well.  
I think hard and long about all of the people in this world who are "suffering" from one thing or another.  Maybe its a medical reason, maybe it's a psychological reason, perhaps it's suffering from abuse or neglect.  Life is fragile, take care of it.
I finished up several things yesterday.  I so love Sunday's!  They are fabulous days for quilting.
I'm going to post some pictures later, right now it's time for bed. Night
