A New Quilt

I love the colors in this quilt.  Some of the fabrics I won in a contest that was held at one of my quilting groups and the other fabrics I pulled from my stash.

The hand quilting was done by my Jefferson quilt group.  Now it has found a place on my bed and brightens up my bedroom.  One down, many to go.  Goal in my life is to use up all the fabrics I have in my stash  Will keep you posted on how that is going???

Whining Time

I do not like being a whiner and I do not like being around people who are whining or complaining most of the time,  But last week and this week have been tough.  Some of the things are just things that happen in life and some could be rather serious.

I spent a week in  Myrtle Beach with my daughter and son in law.  We had so much fun but honestly the food was just terrible to me.  We ate out at lunch in nice restaurants and then ate in for a light supper at night.  The restaurants in Myrtle Beach do not know the words "grilled or baked".  Most everything was "fried" and I do not eat much fried food anymore so a little goes a long way with my digestive system.  We did have several excellent meals, one being on Pawley Island at the Chives and Blossom restaurant.

We came home on Sunday and I was just exhausted and needed rest.  My week started out with mountains of dirty clothes so the washer ran for two days.  Then the ironing had to be done which I finally got caught up on about Thursday.  Tuesday I decided to make bread while washing so many clothes.  I have two bread machines and I always make two loaves when I make bread.  One bread machine had a problem, the dough would not rise and I started smelling something with a burning odor.  After trying twice in that particular bread machine and neither time working I declared it to be broken and it went into the garbage.  Finally, did get one good loaf of bread.

The next day my favorite curling iron of all times died.  Into the garbage it went

The following day my very best friend, who I worked with for 23 years, called to tell me she has been diagnosed with a very bad illness and the future is not going to be the outcome we would want.  I am just heartbroken.  Then she told me of another mutual friend of ours being in the hospital with a heart attack.

While all of this was going on I was having health issues myself.  Went to the doctor Monday and I will be having a Nucleus Stress Test and Echo Cardiogram this week.

I think that is enough whining to last me about five years so I close saying I am just thankful for the time God has allowed me to be on this earth and for the time he will allow me to have until the end.
