New Project

I finally started a new project. Troy's youngest grandson saw me working on Grace's map quilt and let me know in no uncertain terms that he wanted one too. (He actually wanted the one I was doing for Grace, but I told him he would get one for his birthday.) His birthday is coming up in October, and hopefully I'll have his quilt finished by then. I hand appliqued the North/South/East/West portions of the border and the rest of the border is piano keys. I will machine this one (Grace's was hand quilted). I've also started a small wall hanging using fall prints and an idea that I got from Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting TV show. I'll try to post pictures soon.

Five Good Things:
1) The inflamation in my shoulder and arm has finally gone down (with the help of a cortisone injection in my shoulder) and the constant pain has gone with it!
2) We had a wonderful time at the family reunion today - loads of food and fun!
3) Safe travel to and from the reunion - it was in Laurens, which is 90 miles from here.
4) I'm finally able to use my new Bernina - it sews like a dream!
5) Cooler temperatures!
