August binding challenge and Churn Dash challenge!

Wow ..... so many challenges!

Here we are 8 months into the binding challenge and no-blog Mary and I have once again completed our challenge quilts.

Here is no-blog Mary's quilt:

This is my quilt (more on this later):

Our September quilts have been chosen, but that will be in another post.

A little bit of progress has been made on my Churn Dash challenge with Chookyblue (http://chookyblue.blogspot.com/).  Only a little bit.  The edges have all been trimmed and next will be to get the borders on.  The borders are stalling me to no end!!!  I would like to make a run out to see my LAer and bring her a few tops this month.  

I had to slow down on my quilting for a few weeks.  You see .... well ..... I took a bit of a tumble and fell down three stairs backwards.  My tailbone was first to hit the floor and then the back of my head.   This time, I didn't hesitate to want to go to ER to get my head checked out.  Had a cat-scan and x-rays on my tailbone and my hand and all ok.   Had a bit of concussion from the head knock.  The headaches have now gone and my hand is slowly coming back to its' normal colour.  My tailbone is still sore and that might take longer.  I've been staying off devices as that seemed to bother me.   Reading books also was hard.  T.V. was ok and I watched that and dozed a lot in my chair.   The binding on my August quilt was worked on here and there as long as my right hand wasn't moved a certain way.

Did that scare me?  Heck, yes!  I'm ever so careful on the stairs now.  Lesson learned .... the hard way.

Something new ..... three squirrels came to visit me.  Oh dear, just what I needed.  More on them later.

Cherish your day, cherish your life!
