This is to document my love of and obsession with fabric and quilts! The true, guilty story of buying "just a little bit more", of shopping at thrift stores for the extra large mens shirts to use in your next quilt..and yes..even eyeing up your best friends blouse wondering if she'd notice if you "borrowed" it and just how many 2 inch strips you could get out of it!

Quiet night
Quiet night here. I am a tad stressed so my rheumatoid arthritis has been acting up which has led me to take some of my pain killers. They do dull the pain a bit, but they also have the lovely side effects of 1) not letting me sleep and 2) they make me ITCH! Yes, I am allergic to something in some of them. Some pain pills are worse than others for the itch for me, so I have a nice little assortment here. You know I must REALLY be hurting for me to take a pill knowing I will be scratching my skin off for the next 24 hours. Anywho, tonight I am tired from not sleeping the past couple of nights. I worked 9-7 today, made dinner, we watched House (yes, we are all House addicts in this house! lol) and now I am off to bed. I did decide to take the outer triangles off the Trees of Life and replace them with the background fabric..if I can find more of that, that is! Wish me luck on that and hope to have some sewing news tomorrow!

I forgot about your RA and just realized that you having the GO should help make quilting a lot easier for you with cutting. I'm really glad that you won that! :)
ReplyDeleteYuk, itching like that will drive you demented! I sure hope you will feel better soon. A quiet night can't hurt, huh!? (And why can't Gregory House find us a cure for such as this!! Bless his heart! LOL) I hope you are able to find all the fabric you need. I think your trees are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

if you don't have enough of the background try doing just a narrow border of it to contain the top. you can then FM quilt the lighter triangles.
ReplyDeleteI am adding the trees to my TO DO as a leader/ender (mine might end up a potholder at the rate I am going!)
rest up- cw
oh poor you. I hope you are feeling better today?
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. Itching is the one thing that really gets to me. You must have been hurting bad. Hope the RA lets up soon. That's why I was so glad you won the GO. Hope you're able to start using it soon.
ReplyDeleteWe love House too... I wish you would call and vent, esp if you cant sleep. I hope the pain eases and you relax and decompress. (after the weekend - right) Big hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh Reenie -- sorry to hear about the RA and the issues with pain pills. Your trees of life look great. I can't wait to see how you finish the top. I so want to do that pattern! I am trying to finish a few things before I start something new ... except the mystery this weekend. B.
