Good news for me today, I'm feeling well enough to do some sewing. I'm starting to get the teacups sewn together. It's going to be a tricky job, because although I made the blocks the same height, they are not the same width, and the same for the joining strips. As soon as I can get that organized, I can start to get the free-pieced lettering together. I will just have to work at them and make them fit by adding and subtracting the sizes of the blocks. And I posted a photo of my patio plant. Isn't it something? It's a succulent and likes to change colors. I have two of these. A friend gave me cuttings a few years ago. And another thing--three cheers for our Olympic athletes! You know, I was on the curling team in High School. My parents even curled at one time. It's a great family-type sport.

Curling has always fascinated me - a very slow moving sport but fun to watch nonetheless!
Your quilt is coming along nicely.
I am envious of you, and of anyone who is able to successfully keep a houseplant. I kill every houseplant I encounter--even those easy ones you're not supposed to be able to kill, like philodendrons (sp?) and wandering jews. But yours looks beautiful. :)
You can always add an extra strip of fabric to make the rows work out. A little craziness like that in there could be fun!
The curling team -- I'm impressed! I'm guessing you didn't grow up in SoCal, curling doesn't seem like the sport of a warm climate.
Glad to hear you are feeling better. Love how the quilt is turning out.
I was very pleased that our 1 hour of Olympic highlights (that's all we get in South Africa) included some curling. I love watching it.
