National Quilting Day
Learn To Sew   Intermediate WA USA Member since 4/12/05 Posts: 7994	Login to reply to this post 2 members like this. Date: 3/16/13 11:46 AM What is everyone working on for this special occasion? I will work on the Trip quilt, of course. On the Missouri Star Quilt Co 's daily deal page, the writer said that quilters wanted a specail day and we got it. The 3rd Saturday in March. Wonderful. She also posted in her blurb (jokingly, of course) about the woman who was the founder of the movement. Nita Lotte Fabric. Get it. (need a lot of fabric...) We all need a good laugh now and then. ------ Quilting is relaxing to me. I love to play with fabrics, patterns and colors.

Date: 3/16/13 3:47 PM I am not working on anything, I am sick again. Gads, it is so annoying. Thursday night I kept getting colder and colder. We usually read a little before bed, but I went straight to bed when we came up, but I couldn't fall asleep and then I started to shiver. DH put five blankets on me, which helped a little, and I was so thirsty I thought I couldn't stand it, so he brought me water and advil. Then the body aches started. I was weak and dizzy, so he stayed home from work on Friday to help me walk to the bathroom, etc, but in the morning I was better. However, viruses spike in the afternoon, and this one did. I have it again, but each day it has been less so I am on the mend. I said to the kids that when you get married you promise "in sickness and in health" but when you are young you usually don't really know what that means. And I told them that they were extremely lucky in their father who exemplifies keeping his vows. Of course, they both lived here, they know that, but it doesn't hurt to remind them.

The same icky bad virus ran amok amongst my students a few weeks ago. Lots of rest and fluids. Sleep seems to be the best. It's wonderful you have a caring partner! RE: Nat. Quilt Day. I'm finishing up the project for the Modern Quilt Guild Challenge. Love the fabric. Love the design. Loathe Half Square triangles, but I've mastered the stinkers. Bought a new iron to celebrate NQD. Old one de-evolved into Old Faithful geyser, spitting & spewing boiling water everywhere. Made pressing an adventure. ------ Brother Innovis NX650Q; Brother Nouvelle 1500; Brother CS6000i; Brother 1034D

I pray you get better soon! The silver lining to my pneumonia was the TLC from my boys. They really took good care of me. ------ 🌸 Plenty of machines, mostly Berninas 🌸
