Something pretty out the kitchen window.

 This plant always puts on a good show in the spring.

This year is no exception.

Pretty in Pink.

I spent 4 hours in the hospital for test, x-rays and cat scan.

I cannot seem to get rid of this diverticulitis  infection.

At least I got to come home and follow treatment at home.

I start a new regime of antibiotics today.

30 days of antibiotics is not good.

Hopefully this will end the siege.

It is getting in the way of my schedule

for completing art quilts.

Well off to the studio to iron 2 more tops and

get them mailed off to the Cotton Corner to

get their quilting done.

New head shot

 I had to get a new head shot for the magazine article

I wrote. My SIL did the honors.  It only took 25

shots to get 4 good ones.

My studio is looking messy.

Means I am busy.

 I am still having health issues.

Taking two antibiotics and still running a

fever. All this health stuff gets in the way

of creating. Well have a good day I will

be off to the Doctors office again.

Fabric

You know she is a true friend when she brings you

back fabric from her vacation to California.

What a pleasant surprise when Claudia showed

up with a surprise for me. I love the bright colors.

Love love the blue with green leaves.

Some fun in the future for me.

Finally this morning we wake up to a sunny day.

A good way to start the weekend.

I have a busy day planned.

First a furniture sale,

Then getting a new head shot taken,

then finishing up the border on the fund

raiser quilt.  A good day.

Well I am  off and running.

Have yourself a great day.

Chesterton Art Center's quilt

 

 I got busy yesterday afternoon and worked on

finishing the quilt for the fund raiser.

Made another row of blocks and now to decide

on the borders. I  will finish it up today and

mail it off to the Cotton Corner Quilt shop

in Shipsewanna Indiana.

They will quilt it and bind it for me.

I can then get back to working on the big

quilt. Today is the opening of the show in Lafayette

Indiana. I am looking forward to seeing all the

art hung. It is going to be s great show.

I will try to remember my camera.

Well off to the studio.

 

Next in line.

 Now that the magazine article is off to the publisher

I need to concentrate on the next project in line. I

really need to finish this bed quilt which is for a fund

raiser for the Chesterton Art Center. Than I need to get

back to the big quilt and work on panel # 5.

There is always something to do here at  Cedar

Ridge Studio. I found some photos of the

SAQA studio tour last fall. My studio looked great.

I think maybe  it needs a big clean-up.

I know it does. That will be the next project

when I finish the 5 panels.

Well off to the studio to find what I need

to finish the bed quilt.

Original Sketch for the big quilt.

I don't know if I ever showed you my original sketch for

the big quilt. I diverged quite a bit. Its the thought

that counts. The antibiotics must be working,

I am starting to feel civil again.

I hope to go to the show Friday night.

This week is the FibR groups International show

in Lafayette at the Wells center on 6th and North.

Friday the 16th is a gallery walk night.

6pm to 9pm

Come by is you have a chance.

It will be awesome. My fellow artist were very

CREATIVE. 

 I finished my article for Machine Quilting Unlimited

and E-mailed it off. I didn't realized how far I come

on the finished project. I need to finish this one up.

I have decided to finally get my knees replaced.

Right one maybe end of July.

Ouch. but necessary.

Progress.

 I did make some progress this week despite a

recurrence of diverticulitis. I just kept plugging

away. Using a tweezers I placed a lot of leaves

on the trees this week. I need to take some

more photos for the article that is due Wednesday.

I can finally see the end in sight.

Looking more and more like a fall day.

All you mothers out there have a happy day.
