I am telling you I made one up in my go-as you-cut style and made it for my daughter. It is in greens and a yellow/orange Afternoon Tea print and it is beautiful. If they were my colors she would never know I made it for her.
I used to sew and quilt, but I have had two real bad head injuries from falls in the past 5 years and things are slowly coming back to me. I knew when I started quilting that I had done it before. I just knew how to handle the material and all too easily. It was so much fun.

I also think being creative is very healing.

At one time, I was able to do handwork where I worked. I was at the gatehouse to a state facility. When it was slow, I'd work on my cross stitch or read. I told everyone it was the only job that paid me to read and stitch!! (LOL) Hopefully, next time you'll remember to take something with you.

The only way I can take pictures of projects right now, is with my cell phone, then I send them to my email as a picture message. From the email, I grab and drop them to my desk top, then I can upload them on here. The pictures it takes aren't great, but hey I'm a quilter, not a photographer! I hope this is helpful. Happy Holidays!

It takes a lot of time and courage and patience to relearn things, and you have every right to be proud of your effort.
You probably enjoy, more than most, the whole process of our chosen craft. Keep up the good work!<wave>
