    Fabulous looking dresden plates, Barb. So glad to hear that your husband is doing well and you're back at it. We just need to take one day at a time, right?
    God Bless

    One day at a time lol, needed to hear that right now lol. Wouldnt believe everything that is going wrong. Things only go wrong when i have a deadline. Dropped my pin box twice tonight, that Never happens, and my darning foot decided to break down! Thankfully it broke down right at the beginning of my quilting, soooo, go with the flow, switch to straight line quilting real quick LOL

    So im quilting it in sections, four blocks to a section, 9 sections all together, so i have one section almost complete. I did swirls in the centre of the first block, because i was going to do feathers around the circle on the blades...well, my darning foot broke down right after the first swirl lol, and, right before i started my feathers, sooo, go with the flow, switched to straight quilting, and the plates come out looking kinda like stars and hearts lol, perfect. Only problem is i have to do all the swirls with my straight foot now lol, so this is where i'm at now, have a ton more to do. Thanks for all your well wishes for my hubby too. He's had an irregular heartbeat, and had to see a specialist the other day to see if he needs a pacemaker, and the good news is, for now, he doesnt need one, but may in the future, so that was good news :) Here's some pics
