It is almost the end of another year; this will be my first blog post for 2021. I think I had plans to do much more but that did not happen. It has been a difficult year for many and most of us have navigated through many things we have never before experienced. I have been thinking that writing more in this blog will help me to remember (I seem to need help with that) and share the blessings in 2022.
Last May I fell on my left shoulder and broke my humerus bone. It was a break that required surgery and I now have a metal bar and a few screws to help hold it together. That was my first bone broken, unless I count the broken nose I experienced as a teenager. This experience has had much more of an impact. I spent 6 months going to rehab appointments and because I am left-handed my sewing and needlework came to a standstill. My husband who had just completed rehab for a torn rotator cuff did everything around the house for quite a long time. We are somewhat back to normal now. I am sewing again and now that the Christmas gifts are given and out of my room, I enjoy this space. Pat has been on a new treatment for Multiple Myeloma for several months and is responding as expected. We are blessed.
I memorized a bible verse back before our first child was born and it has been my life verse for many years, not always in the forefront of my mind. Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Verse 4 continues to say "Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength: Perfect peace can only come from God and since my mind is not always stayed on Him, I am not experiencing that peace as often as I could.
I have two last quilts to complete in 2021 I will share in this post. They are quilted and ready for binding.
This was a block of the month called "Three's Company" by Patchwork Posse
This quilt is my version of the 2013 Designer Mystery Block of the Month by Fat Quarter Shop.
I will take full pictures when the binding is complete.
