Beautiful North Carolina has been destroyed by a hurricane...OMG!! Life as we know it can change in a second.
We are safe, here in Charlotte...only rain, trees down, etc...but 30 minutes north...OMG OMG
Above, Aoife, still in Cork, Ireland, just visiting with the cows.
Below, calming my soul by making potholders....meditation at its best!!
Here using random strips....
A little experimentation with my Accucutter Leaf die...
More experimentation.....: cutting and applying Wonderunder to vintage quilt blocks from a very damaged quilt top.
Today another doctor appointment...dear me...aging quickly. This one was a yearly physical...also some talk about my poor and painful hip. I can no longer walk without a walker because the hip pain is so great. In six weeks I have an appointment with a new surgeon...Meantime more and more physical therapy....I can barely stand it. So 8 years ago, I had 4 joint replacements....Two major joints left and xrays show that both my hip and shoulder are without cartiledge...Enough already!!!
As I try to relax during all this world stress...I am grateful for sewing and sewing friends and blogging friends...
Life is still good...of course as long as one has a sewing machine!!!

So glad you are safe. My sister in Greenville had trees come down and a week without power, but no floods. Trying to pull some tops together so they can be quilted and sent down to NC. The videos on X had me crying for days. So sorry you are in such bad pain.
We have seen the devastation on our screens here and of course on blogs - horrendous!! I also now read that another Hurricane is heading for Florida - what on earth is happening to the world as we knew it. Diane, so sorry you are still coping with painful joints, it looks like more surgery is possibly on the cards I guess.Thinking of you!!
