2018--November 16------I am Grateful

I am grateful that I've worked all week on Quilting projects---i.e.  Stitcher' "African" Garden,  a daughter's portrait,  and Christmas tablecloth ( from Christmas fabric crumbs)

To make my world a happier place through the next week, I'm intending to  (1) get my house spiffy (company's coming for Thanksgiving)  (2)  work on Christmas tablecloth, and cards, and gifts for my quilting group members.

I reaffirm that I have the time I need for all I do!

Three amazing things that occurred this past week:
        1.  I finally finished fusing all the flowers for the SAG to the quilted backgrounds and now I have 19 blocks  left to embellish and add border sashings to.
          2.  Watched as week went by, BP and FBG numbers go down to normal levels.
           3.  Started meditating again.

What would have made my week even happier:  To have cleaned house thoroughly by now.

Finishing up:  Two pieces of Huntington series.
This first one is titled, "Once there was a bridge"

And the second one is , "Churches of Huntington"

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

October 31- November 8.

I am grateful that I've almost completed the blocks for my African version of Stitcher's Garden.,--and for time to work on it freely this past week...and for the portrait workshop going well.

Today would be great if I finished the Stitcher's Garden blocks, and made time to work on the Christmas table covering I've started also from scraps, and tidied up mystudio a bit..

I have the time I need for all I do!  ( the week's affirmation)

3 Really bright spots this past week:

           The portrait workshop I gave to the Innovative Fabric Artist Network (IFAN) went really well.
            I started a portrait of my daughter <----her christmas="" nbsp="" p="" present="">          
<----her christmas="" nbsp="" p="" present="">             Here's the current update of the (African) Stitcher's Garden.    

• Seeing my friend Lynn at church bazaar; she looked happy, healthy, and well.
• Finished getting basement organized and tidied up.   YEaaaaaaaa!

It might have been a better week if I'd met all my intentions for it.  Will try again this week to finish up blocks for ASG, with borders and make progress too on Christmas tablecloth, and Adrianne's (my DD =darling daughter) portrait.

Wishing you all a happy and progressive week!
