Yesterday I sorted and measured the quilt tops in the tub I brought down from the attic and look at what I found!

I made these feathered star blocks when I was pregnant with John, he was born in 1989. I was doing medallion quilts at the time. For some reason I thought these blocks weren't "good enough", and don't ask me why. I haven't decided how I will put them together. There are 8. It's been a long time since I made a medallion quilt, and I am thinking doing another one would be a lot of fun. As well as challenging. I loved making the feathered stars, and I have a lot more ideas that could come into play. But not until I get the Log Cabin Heart top done. I have so many quilts started now I don't have a spare machine to work on.

That probably sounds ridiculous, I have 7 machines. Ernestine my treadle, I am working on 6 quilts on her; that is ridiculous too. Vanessa has two Drunkard's Paths on her. David's using Inez. I'm quilting on Juki, and Brunehilde is being used for clothes and the Log Cabin. Martha gets used for baskets. I wonder if I need another machine? As I said before: ridiculous. The blocks can wait for Brunehilde to be free.

This afternoon if it ever warms up down here I am going to clean my bedroom, it got really out of hand while I was sick, and i knocked my sewing basket over and lost my thimble so I am going to have to clean to find it. The nice thing about such a small room is that it doesn't take so long to clean it and I can scrub the floor before my back gives out entirely. It's mostly finding a place to put all the junk, but I have plenty of garbage bags so solve that problem.

Next week my dear daughter-in-law Rosa has to have an hysterectomy. Pre-cancer. It would be scary if they hadn't found it early. I'm sorry that she has to have it done, but I'd be sorrier yet if she didn't and got cancer. Ambrosina and I will spend the day at the hospital with Timothy, Rosa won't know we are there, but he will need the support. I have spent too many days waiting in the hospital not to know how important that is.

So time to get busy, after the cleaning comes the fun part, more sewing!
