Long Time, No Post

Well, I've really been on a break here. Trust me, it was for a reason. I've been having a little medical adventure here and on top of the rotator cuff surgery I had in March, it's been a struggle. Let's just say that I know way more about my pancreas than I want to know. But I'm lucky to live an hour from Boston and have access to amazing medical centers so all is well.

And I am finally getting my sewing mojo back. I have a project started which I will show when it is more along. But in April my baby girl turned thirty! How can I have kids in their 30's? Anyway, I actually made her a quilt before I had the shoulder surgery and here it is. She's showing it off with my nephew on Easter Sunday which was also her birthday.


 And I don't know what the heck she's doing here but she was happy. This is a quilt from Schnibbles Times Two book made with Fig Tree Folklorique fabric. It's an older line that I have had for a while.
So I've had a bit of a rough time here lately but there's nothing like family to help you along when you most need it. It's also been nice to be able to sew again. I had a long time before I felt comfortable sewing since my surgery but I have definitely turned a corner and plan on getting to projects now. So it's good to be back!

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
