For Slow Stitching Sunday I will be working on my fifth block for Freedom's Friends BOM. It is called Society Rose. This is a good part of life, my stitching. Linking up with Kathy's Slow Stitching Sunday HERE
Another good thing, I won a contest!! I never win anything so this was such a surprise! Missouri Star Quilt Company had a naming contest for two new quilting designs. I named this one Bloom and Plume and won a $150 gift certificate!
Another good thing, my quilt is on exhibit at the New England Quilt Museum with the other Hospital Sketches quilts. I won't be able to go to the exhibit so was so thankful they put a short preview up on their web site and I could see mine hanging in the museum. I think this is the highlight of my quilting career! If you go HERE you can see a few more.
Another good thing, we got two logging truck loads of green firewood delivered. It will need to sit and season, but we have firewood for several winters to come. Below is a short video of the first load being unloaded.

So now for the Bad. First I hurt my left knee. How? I have no idea so have been unable to do many of my normal activities, such as mow the grass, which you might have noticed on the pictures above. I haven't been in to the doctor yet, just trying to rest it, elevate it and ice it.
Now for the next Bad thing. It looks like our insurance is not going to cover the damage to our roof from the snow and ice storm last winter. They will cover the ceiling damage, but not the roof damage. That doesn't do us much good, because it will probably leak next Spring and we will have ceiling damage again, and have to pay our deductible again! So angry and disappointed! And I know there are many people in much more dire circumstances, like the flooding in Kentucky, so we are so lucky in many respects.
But I have my quilting to console me! Thanks for stopping by! Rebecca
