So, it's July 2016 and I'm finally posting an update. Since I don't have any followers on this blog I guess no one has missed me. Hmm. What has happened while I've been gone? Well since no one asked, I'll tell you. I had 2 discs fused on my neck which is why I couldn't sew, stitch or hardly type. The relief was almost immediate, but I had other complications that got worked out with physical therapy. I did start sewing again, but slowly. Now that the pain in my neck is gone, my body is noticing how much my lower back is hurting. I need the same surgery there, so it is almost impossible to lean over a cutting table right now. Or even clean my house (not to worry -- my friends have teenagers that I pay dirt cheap wages to clean because they don't know any better).
Of course nothing - not even not being able to hardly walk has kept me from attending the International Quilt Festival each year. Last year I got to work part-time for Quilts, Inc. the company that runs the festival, as a proofreader and data entry specialist. I typed all those little title plaques and description pages at the show. Well, I wasn't the only one. But it was fun seeing all the exhibition quilts before the show. So beautiful!

I turned 50!!! It was a bad week for most of my friends so only a few of us were able to get together to paint, but we had a blast. I chose a Monet for us to paint. I would definitely do it again.
