Broke my ankle.....just checking in with some eye candy for you....











Hi, Everyone....
Just a quick post to let you know that I haven't forgotten you or my blog. I broke my ankle on April 22nd....would you believe by looking on the edge of the rough for a $2.00 golf ball, of all things! This was the first time breaking a bone for me and I must say.....I HATE crutches! I've been able to find ways of getting most things done, between using the crutches and using one my rolling desk chairs in the kitchen....but it really is the pits not being able to carry things from place to place. It certainly makes you appreciate the mobility that you have with two working legs. I have a sincere empathy for those that don't have the use of their legs....I had never really had a true understanding of what they go through.

Now, to some eye candy. I am doing some sewing and embroidery, but it's been pillowcases ...with themes like football or Star Wars for my 14 grandchildren with their names embroidered on them for to give them with their birthday $10 cash. So, I thought you might like to see some of the vintage crazy quilts that I have bought for "from me to me" gifts. I will post pictures of a different one each day for the next few days. This first one is one that I call my "Sleepy Head" quilt. It has "To bed, to bed, you sleep head" embroidered on one side of the center fan. I have posted the picture of the entire quilt and some of the detail closeups. I'll post a few more in another post today, as I can only post 5 pictures with each posting. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I do. The embroidery is wonderful!
