Keeping up (well slightly behind!)
with the Afternoon Delight BOM by The Quilt Show
my four applique blocks for January are DONE!!
there are pieced blocks that go along with this but
I've decided to do them at the end
after all the appliqué blocks are completed.
MOVE
My 2020 word!
In January I started working with a personal trainer at
K & M Weightlifting in Plaineville Ma.
Mary is my strength and conditioning guru!
She is amazing!
Things started of slowly ~ now six weeks and the difference is unbelievable!
For the first time in a LONG time I am feeling
Better - Stronger - Healthier!
If I can avoid back pain and trips to the chiropractor - I'm ALL for it!
The Bluebirds are BACK!
and very early this year
They are just so beautiful.
Last week there were 3 pair all fluttering around the feeders!
Hubby needs to get the Bird Photo Booth up and running
so we can get a few candid shot of them!
Now that the holidays are over and all the family have gone home,
the Guest room can now go back to being my "Quilting Annex"!
Needing a place to hand quilt my Ships Quilt
without Bella's dog hair getting all over it - this seemed the perfect spot!
With the bed moved to one side of the room
I was able to set up my pressing station in one corner
and a nice sitting area in the other corner...
specifically to sit and hand quilt with the opportunity
to gaze out at the birds on the feeders!
It's a Win - Win in my mind!
Plus my cutting table fits in!!!
and here we are....
the Quilting Annex in use!!
Just love this little quiet space.
Admittedly ... I am NOT a reader, never have been.
I like the idea of reading ...
it's just there is always something else I'd rather do...
....until now!
Audible Books!!!
are Perfect!
Quilting and Listening = Time well spent!
Finishing up Book 2 in the Outlander series... took a while
it was a long one .. 45 hours!
Since I've watch the tv series and knew the direction of the story -
this book was a great filler (actually started this one last
Fall and would listen off and on!)
Fall and would listen off and on!)
This book I borrowed from my daughter and
actually sat, flipped the pages and was drawn into
this unbelievable story of survival - hope and love.
Highly recommend this one!
Another Audible book
of a women standing up for herself thru life...
another good read.
The first in this series is Magpie Murders and it took a bit to get into
and after becoming accustomed to the authors writing
I couldn't stop listening and knew I had to find more of his books!
Both were great murder mysteries!
Today I'm preparing the second month of
Afternoon Delight...
and wouldn't ya know - the appliqué wheel is
spinning opposite from the pattern!
Oh Well...proceed ahead!!
That's all for now ~ Have a wonderful February!
Have a great Quilty Day and enjoy the process!
Janet
