Quilt, Read, Eat, Sleep.... What Else Is There? discussion

I returned from quilt camp/retreat on Friday, but have been sick since after dinner Friday night. This is the first I've been downstairs to turn on the computer. :( I swear that either Starbucks poisoned my coffee when we stopped there on our way to the house, or my husband fed me a poisoned mushroom Friday night at dinner! LOL! I haven't been this sick in probably 10 years. I was so sick I didn't even want to come down to my new space and sew on my new sewing machine cabinets that were delivered a week ago today. Now, that's sick!

At any rate, I have 3 new projects to work on. One is called Simple Elegance by Joan Davis. I think she must be Geisha Designs. It really is a pretty piece; although, mine isn't anywhere close to being oriental. I did work on it this afternoon and will work on it again in a bit. I almost have the main part of the top done.

I have 2 other pieces I started at camp. One is called Sparkler Star by Mary Sue Suit. I really like Mary Sue, so I try to take any classes she teaches. I also started another of Joan Davis' called Jungle Fever. The last is pretty simple, so I'll probably work on it next.

I must say it's nice to be back at the sewing machine.

Welcome back Judy!

As usual, I am working on several projects at once. I've got a memory quilt to sash (for a client) on the sewing table, and basket handles to prep for a trip so I can have something to work on. Then I have a king size French roses all ready to be put together. If I could just stop reading for a bit, I might be able to get some sewing done. I've tried audio books, but I find myself stopping and listening to the narrator, so that doesn't work. Besides there is something about seeing and comprehending that word on the page for me that is special!
