Would you like to donate

 

Is Spring finally here...or where ever you are? Our Arizona temps have been down to the high 70s then into 80s and even high 90s. Not sure if we are beginning Spring or summer. Last week my bedroom wall clock stopped working.... out it went. Alan and Lisa ordered me a new one

I love it. Thankfully it is silent, no ticking sound. This past month, all 3 of our cell phones have not been working well...yesterday Alan got all new ones. Let's hope that is all that needs replacing.The saying is that all happens in threes....we will see.

As for the donation....no no no...it is not for money. A square or two of fabric is what I am looking for!!! Measurement is 2 1/2 inches or 5 inch square....

 I am starting a Cathedral Square Quilt. The centers measure 2 1/2 inches. I thought how fun it would be to have a real variety of centers and have friends contribute. An envelope, one or two squares and a stamp is all . Most of us buy the charm packs for projects. I can cut my 5 inch ones down to give me 4. If interested in "donating" let me know and I will email you my address. As for the muslin squares, I will need to cut at least 600 for a twin size! I ordered the muslin from Jo Ann's and just need to do curb side pick-up. This is a project that I have wanted to do for years..... years.

How about an Achilles update. It has been a tough couple of weeks for sure. The bruising on the shin and calf are fading slowly and the incisions are healing. The issue is the heel is still quite painful. I will admit that I thought it would have been easier, less painful. As a result of walking off kilter, my right knee is aching badly and my back by nightfall is sore. Tomorrow I see the surgeon.... hope it is all good news from him. Okay, time to check in with Alan to get my phone working. Glad we had time to chat. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Thank you for your friendship.

Gracie, I would love to send you some fabric. What color and/or prints are you looking for? With these temps going up and down, I'm surprised more people aren't sick. Take it easy!

That sounds like a fun way to make a quilt with a lot of memories. I'd be happy to send some fabric, it probably won't cost more than a greetings card to post if I only send a small piece :-)

LOVE the clock, the sewing machine is sooooooo cute. Hope your doc appointment goes well. I don't really quilt but like your idea and hope you get lots of takers.

Lots going on with you, but I hope both the surgery and new phone will turn out to be positives in the end!
I'll have to check my fabric stash to see if I have anything to send you, what a fun idea :)
