Hi there! It's been a hot minute since I've visited with you. Let me catch you up on what's been going on. I think the last time I was here was back in October. That would totally make sense because I got a new full time job at the end of October that had me working 50 hours a week. With all that work going on I had little time for anything else. Good news (or bad, depending on your point of view) is that the job is over and I am back to being a stay at home wife again. There will be plenty of time to catch up on cross stitch and quilting. My needles will be happy since my poor sewing machine has not been touched since November! Once again, I am back to tracking food. I gained back 10 pounds while working. My body hurts again and I don't want to ache. So, I am taking it day by day. Positive thinking. Good food choices. I got this. The holidays came and went. All the girls are doing good. Daughter number 2 and her mini moved back home since she's in

Joanna does the block of the month programs and sends out fabric and patterns each month and you end up with a beautiful sampler quilt. Manchester by the Sea was scheduled for April 2022 thru March 2023. I got a beautiful envelope of fabric and instructions to make blocks each of those months and did not touch a one of them until we came back from Disney last month. I'm a member of her BOM group on Facebook and have seen the finished quilts for this and know it's won
