Dedemac,

Now, when on earth did you sneak into my house and take those pictures? :)

CJsews. I have a quilt that looks just like that!

Tropit thank you. Your quilt may have been the one that inspired me to make mine. I am trying to use stash as best as I can. I often see posts here or on other sites that look nice.

I can relate to the mess. This works for me; clean the place I want to work. Later I'll clean over there-whereever that is.

Count the possitives; 3 successes. It's more encouraging than the negatives.

you've accomplished a lot. Congratulations. Sillyness is good for the soul.

Now, my update. Got IZ yesterday. Used a walker. There was no wait and everyone was so nice. Then we mapped a restaurant. Found a 5 star when couldn't find a Pollo Loco that DH wanted. The find was fabulous; tasty, very well presented, staff bent over backwards and gave us free "vampiro" and cheese cake. Both fabulous. We tipped big; forget 15%. If we lived in Madera we'd go there all the time. It's an hour drive.
Only IZ reaction was a little soreness in arm.
Last night could put weight on leg so did some quilt work. Got binding machined on huge quilt (the one I tripped over). Also, got another sandwich pinned. It hasn't made it to UFO status. Amazing might have a quilt that goes straight through.
Today, my leg is doing very good. After walking a while, it's saying take it easy. Need to press the binding and load another quilt on LA. Both take standing. So I'll start the quilting on the new sandwich. Can sit to do that. Good to have options.

Jmoore- hope your vertigo goes away soon, I had it once and it was no fun!

Petthefabric- glad to hear your leg is doing better.

WMUTeach- congratulations on getting so much done.

I've finished putting together the top for the March color block quilt. I also used Inktense pencils to add some color to the shashing cornerstones- not sure I'll leave it as is, or add more color after I quilt it. Now to piece the back. Then I can sandwich it and put it in the queue for quilting.
Here's a picture I took before coloring the cornerstones:

Petthefabric, I'm glad you're getting around better on that leg. Sounds like quite a dinner and you're making such progress, too! https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/thumbup.png

And you're right - silliness IS good for the soul! :)

Have you watched this video? I had vertigo so bad a few years ago that I couldn't walk unsupported. Even keeping my eyes open was disorienting and made the vertigo worse.

The doctor put me on meclizine, which helped a little, but doing the exercise in this video cured it instantly. Same for my mother who had it a little later. Any time I start to feel it coming on, I follow the video and it's gone. Hope it helps you, too.

I'm mostly lurking this weekend. I did a little stenciling on pillows today. But not much else.😔

sewbiz, love the backpack.

Thimblebug, your blocks are gorgeous, really like the pattern.

Jmoore, beautiful quilt and congratulations on the quick contract. The real estate market is unreal up here too. Have had coworkers list, only to be under contract within 3-7 days, one was only six hours. Amazing.
