The two year finish(:

 I know that you all thought that I had finished this in 2010 when I posted the top...but oh, no...you would have been wrong.  I finished it today....Our quilt show is coming up..they were short on quilts so in this one goes.  The quilt is tied and big stitched and of not sufficient stitching quality for a quilt show...However, I do love this quilt and feel like sharing it anyway.  I am glad that the upcoming show gave me the push that I needed to finally be done with it.  Looking forward to a cuddle with it in front of the fireplace after the show on March 9.

The back used the secondary HST's from the snowball corners!!  Yup frugal even before Lent:)

I visited my mother today.  I told her about my Lent commitment...no more buying of new fabric.  She said...Oh, my Dear, that sounds sooo religious..!! 

 That mother of mine was resting in bed eating the rest of her lunch at 4 pm.  She had gone on the wheelchair bus to a fancy restaurant where she had ordered Eggs Benedict, Creme Brulee and a glass of French wine.  I was a bit taken back at this telling of the story.  But, she soon added that the French wine was not good and her caregiver said that she could send it back and not pay for it...TBTG.....Oh, Mother!!!

Linking up to Finish it off Friday

International flair for the wonky

There is nothing like putting a piece on the blog to see where things could be adjusted.  I just love blogging.

 Shopping my stash, I found a stack of Australian fabric fat quarters from when Marie and I went to the Statesville show a number of years ago.  They are really beautiful.  I thought I might add a bit of international flair somewhere in this wonky piece of mine.  And then I might not want to use my  beautiful fabrics on such a piddling piece...and then I did promise self to use my collection and not just admire it and touch it and love it...and then....sigh...

Today's behavior analysis....This is the end of week 4 as in concussion recovery...4 to 6 weeks.  I decided that I was way done with this and I was going to go to Hobby Lobby to look for a magazine I had been wanting..I was looking at 45 min max..15 min there, 15 min each way...I felt that I needed to walk thru the fire to get to the other side...to be brave and not wimpy and to be done with all this concussion stuff.  Off I went, flying high..windows open listening to young folks music...the great pretender.  As I approached the store, my eyes started to feel pokey and my head started hurting and my dizziness...But brave me went inside anyway.  Tough I am...They did not have the magazine.  Back in the car...that humility thing again...this return trip had air conditioning on high and me praying that the light would hurry up and change.  My husband asked how it went.  I told him to talk to me from my bed.
