I have been in kind of an off and on fibromyalgia/arthritis adventures. Some new meds seem to be helping.
Right now I am working on two little doll quilts to enter in the Houston Quilt Festival. The requirement for an entry is that you have a bed for the quilt to be displayed on. You can enter up to ten quilts, I have been working on two little ones, different sizes, so I needed two little doll beds. My friend Michael, who is a master carpenter, made them for me. They were done today, I feel lucky because he is the busiest person in the universe. Now I just have to everything done by tomorrow morning so I can overnight a CD with pictures on it to the judges. I just have to make two little mattresses and pillows and then I can take some photos.
I bought a new memory card for my camera and then dropped my camera on a stone floor, that was the sudden death of that old friend. I have a new little camera so if I can figure it out I will post a couple pictures tomorrow.
I discovered Online Quilt Museum, a wonderful site headed up by a terrific quilter, Karen Griska. You should definitely take a peek, and be sure to look at Karen's quilt gallery. She is the author of a really fun book, Selvage Quilts, and has some amazing pictures of her selvage quilts .
Right. Back to work, the sewing studio is howling my name.....

Karin,
Oh I'm sooooo glad you are back. :0) I've missed visiting with you and emailing with you. I figured the fibro was making your life miserable. I'm glad the new meds are helping. That's exciting about the two doll quilts. I can't wait to see them. I've started a new blog to focus on my crochet and sewing and I'm using my Queen of Dreamsz blog to upload my vintage collection of sewing patterns. When you have time I'd love you to pop in for a visit.
Pink Sparkles for your week,
Stephanie Suzanne ♥
Glad you are back! hope the medication keeps up its end of the bargain!
