A Post Finally

 Some of you may know that I have been sick since last August. The medicine that my doctor prescribed caused me to get microscopic colitis and this was not resolved until about a month ago.  I am feeling A LOT BETTER!  I have lost over 25 lbs that I didn’t have and am still struggling with my stamina and feeling tired.  It has been such a tough year.  I did manage to get my two COVID-19 shots.  I thought my health being so compromised that it was in my best interest to get them.

Quilting has taken a back seat mostly during this time.  I have picked up cross stitch hot and heavy as it doesn’t take a whole lot of energy.

Here are some things I have stitched. 

These next two will become strawberries.  Why did the picture turn upside down?

This red house is being done in silk, School House Red. 

No matter what I try blogger is intent on displaying my pictures upside down.

I did quilt a love top this morning. 

I will try and post more regular. Hope you are doing well. I am so looking forward to getting back to going out. 🐸

 

My Update

 My last three months have not been easy.  Colitis has had me in the bathroom.  I have had a CT scan and a colonoscopy. Preliminary diagnosis is microscopic colitis and so far I have been directed to stop taking my arthritis medication. It has helped tremendously.  This is when you find out that the arthritis medicine really does work.  Ugh but I manage to make it through each day and have my accomplishments.

Yesterday I turned in four children quilts ready for giving.  Here is one.  I used a zig zag digital quilt pattern and so fine thread.

Also working on finishing up tops...

Sewcialites blocks.

I just finished the latest released Sewcialites blocks and will show them on the next blog post.

My HQ Forte 24 is in the shop and I hope to have it back towards the end of next week.

Stay safe and stitch some comfort into your life!  🐸
