WOW - it's been awhile! Got really busy at work and then got pneumonia on top of all that. Day after Thanksgiving saw me in the ER, hooked up to an IV. 3 rounds of antibiotics later... I'm still coughing, but feeling a lot better. Didn't get any projects done at all since I first felt sick. I have a quilt retreat coming up at the end of January and better get my projects prepped! Not even sure what I'll work on even though I do have just a few, well, maybe quite a few, projects that need some TLC!

I don't think I want to tackle quilting my first large quilt in public. I made enough mistakes last year when I sat directly across the table from the hostess, Mary Huey! I felt like such a goof, but she was charming and helpful. A couple other ladies really helped me when I ran short of my quilt binding - 3 inches too short! They showed me how to create continuous binding with all the seams going the same direction. You could barely tell the few inches were different than the rest! My cousin loved it at her baby shower the next week. :)
