Rainy Monday

It was so nice to hear it raining this morning. It never rains in the summer months. It is a surprise to have cool weather and rain on the next to the last day in August. I finished the quilt I started in Sisters last week. It turned out great and will have a friend quilt it for me. I would like to show it next year for our quilt show in April. It is called Old Hawaii. I took a quilt design class with Sally Frey in Sisters. I used some fabric I brought in Houston (International Quilt Show 2008) and fabric I brought in Maui. I will post a picture of it this week.
It has been 3 weeks today that I had surgery. I'm getting around with a cane and increasing my activities. I will start a new quilt project this week.
This was Maddie's first rainy day. She didn't know what to make of it. She is almost 13 weeks old and weighs 20 lbs. New pictures of her this week too.
Happy Rainy Monday that won't get me down.

Hello

I haven't been able to get much sewing/quilting done since going to Sisters. It has been very busy with a new puppy Maddie and then getting ready for my left hip replacement which was a week ago today. I was in the hospital from Monday to Wednesday. I had my right hip done 6 years ago so knew what to except with pain and moblity(walker and then advanced to a cane). I did get the last block done on my Old Hawaii quilt and started to put the rows together before surgery. I'm feeling better that I will try to sew on the rows this week. I will have my staples removed next Monday. I wanted to get an update on my blog and then post pictures of Maddie later. She is growing so fast.
