The weather in AZ has been frightful cold which makes for some wonderful quilting and craft days. Probably like most of you, goals have been set for the new year. I have decided that I want to get more organized so I can try to stay caught up with things. I also, have some things that I have really want to do well at, such as journaling, memorizing, corresponding better along with several other things. So, I came up with something I think will help me to accomplish some of those things. It is a monthly package to gather, record, enter and store things that are important to me. So far the system is working for me. Below is what it looks like.

So that is my scrapbooking passion and now for my quilting passion. I put together a Valentine quilt.

Here are a few more that I have done in the past.

A dear friend of ours recently has been in need of some love from her friends as she is experiencing  some heavy medical issues. So what are friends for, but to gather and put a comfort quilt together for her. 

I am also working on some very old projects that have been put up on the shelf and forgotten. Down they have come and work has resumed. 

  

Happy New Years!!!

It has been "forevers" since I have made a post due to a total hip replacement.  It was a total success, the pain is gone and I am back up running, well not literally but moving much better.  The month of Nov. was a blur trying to wrap things up knowing that I would be down for a bit.  I was blessed in that my surgeon did the anterior approach which allowed for a very quick and wonderful recovery.  I had no restrictions like that of the posterior approach which has allowed me to be back up in no time.  I am going to share some photo's of what went on before surgery, so hope you enjoy them.  The plan from here on out is to get all those idea's that ran through my head during my recovery time into actual projects, so be looking for new things to come. Meantime, have a wonderful New Year of blessings and exciting quilt adventures.

This is my "Comfort Quilt" that was presented to me at out end-of-the-year party.
