Default I'm back after a long haul...

hello ladies and gents... well it has been a long time. I am back to sewing and it has been very calming for me. My Mother has been ill and we just found out that she has cancer so I have been spending a lot of my time with her.. Running and cooking and just doing everything, I come home and I am finding myself sitting and sewing at night... this past week I finished five tops that will need to be quilted... glad to see all your lovely work on the board... hugs

Happy you are back. So sorry your DM is sick, I will keep you both in my prayers. It is wonderful to have quilting to help you through bad times. I have been there and it helped keep me sane.

Sorry you have been having such a rough time. It is wonderful you are seeking "sanctuary" through quilting....I think most of us here on QB find comfort from life in our quilts. Hope all goes well....take care and keep stitching. Our thoughts are with you.
