I have started a peacock wall hanging that at first I was going to do it as needle turn then decided to do it as fusable because there are just so many pieces. I have the back ground fabric hanging on my makeshift design wall and have some of the pieces up as well. I didn't have any fusible web so I decided to stop where I was until I got some. My sister went to joann fabrics today and picked me up some so I will be working on it some more tonight.

I have also been having some physical problems and they have discovered that I have degeneritive artheritis in my neck in every vertibra. I went to have an MRI done today to see if some sort of injections will help or if I will be making a visit to a surgeon. Please keep me in your prayers

After posting that last picture it was brought to my attention tha the one corner was backwards. So now I have to fix that.

Today my sister came over and is helping me to get all my sewing and beading and misc craft things a little more organized so that I can get my sewing area back in shape the way it should be. Right now everything is a big mess. When it is all put together and operational again I will post a picture of the finished room.

Other wise it is just another beautiful day in paradise.

I haven't been doing a lot since I last posted. I had a fall at work last week and I'm still really sore from that.

I do have all the rows on my reminince quilt. just have to do the squares for the top and the bottom. then start the borders. I have also been working on a block of the month series by Linda Slone. I have the first block almost done. it is applique. she does it in fusable but since I don't like fusable applique I am doing mine in needle turn. I have the border that goes around the block done and ready to put on. I will post a picture as soon as it is ready.

This is a picture of my Reminiscence Quilt that was started who knows how many years ago. Margret has hers finished and it made me want to get mine out and work on it.

The last 3 blocks are finished and have been for some time. Now I am working on all those little sashing squares. I still have a bunch to go. I do have the top border started. I will work on it after I get all the sahsing blocks done and put on. The reason I started this block of the month back then was to learn how to be scrappy. Well it worked because now I have no problem with it.

The first quilt is from a block swap called luck of the irish. I still have to put a border on it and then it will be done. I made a couple of throw pillows with some of the blocks that were left. I don't remember what year we did this one but it was with Quilts on Review group

The second quilt was frome an Amish block swap back in 2001 with a different group. It is now ready to quilt
