</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used to be a worrier. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My dysfunctional childhood provided many opportunities</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> to hone my belief that I was somehow in control of life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used to think - </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll just keep that thought on my "WORRY LIST"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and if I think hard enough </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and figure out what bad might be coming, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll be able to </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>do something</i> <i>to prevent its occurrence</i>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was truth for me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, in January of 2016,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">something not even top one million </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">on my list of things to worry about </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">happened.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was diagnosed with colon cancer. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The world paused</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the walls swayed in and out</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my breath got stuck in my throat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As the doctor's words swirled</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and my brain tried to wrap around what she had just said</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">one thing became crystal clear - </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was not in control of life</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">never had been</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>it was time to stop focusing on worry!</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ironically, in the midst of all the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">worrisome implications of this diagnosis</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I felt </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">lighter</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">freer</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">relieved</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">even giddy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Whew!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gradually over the next few weeks,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I redefined my intention for living.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">No longer </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> would I exhaust my self </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">believing that it was up to me to prevent</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">bad things from </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from happening.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was forgetting about "good".</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Two weeks before winter break</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I set my intention to see the Aurora Borealis</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and amazingly (of course!) everything fell into place!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We had an incredible visit to the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Enodah Wilderness Lodge in Yellowknife, Canada</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">From Yellowknife,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">after you put on the rented Artic clothing,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you drive in a bus about a half hour outside town</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">then you get in a crazy Hagglund,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a Swedish military vehicle,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and ride about 45 more minutes.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Despite frigid temperatures (around -23)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">we went snowmobiling,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">snowshoeing, dog sledding, and even ice fishing!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to see the light!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Home has been chillier than normal with a bit of snow!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(Although, after Yellowknife a positive</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been doing a new years purge</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of fabric and projects.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I sifted through a shelf of UFOs</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and finished a few</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and donated the rest.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">it popped into my cute brain</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a gentler, grayer, and lower volume palette</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">was what was needed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">YES!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I agree (!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

C'est manifique! Even though this is not our first visit, it took my breath away every time I looked up and saw all the classic buildings and sites! We walked all over for five gorgeous days...even to the Ines quilt shop, visited some old friends at the Musee D'Orsay, Pompidou Center, and, mais oui, the Louvre, plus ate quite <u>well</u>! Au revoir Paris, merci beaucoup!</p>

Our days in Istanbul were a assault on the senses! Incredibly crowded (tourists, beggars, street venders, regular people), loud (trams dinging, car and taxi horns honking, boats tooting, calls to prayer, music playing, so many languages of people talking), smelly (lots and lots of garbage - more than I have ever seen, and an intense thick layer of heat that soaked everyone in minutes) and vibrantly visual (tile work, head scarves, so much colorful stuff mostly made in <u>China</u> to buy). The three mosques - Hagia Sofia, Blue, and Suleyman the Magnificent, were stunningly beautiful in their intricate simplicity. Each time we left the serenity of the hotel it felt as if we were diving into the awe inspiring gritty soup that is Istanbul!</p>

Lots of energy in this city- bikes, trams, people, canals, boats, flowers, cobblestones, great museums with a favorite Van Gogh and Rembrandt, tulip stuff, and a <u>wonderful</u> overall sense of joie de vivre!</p>

He often recommends some great places to stay with lots of character. In Vienna, we could see St. Stephan's Cathedral from our window. Fabulous! More evidence of Hapsburg rule (the double eagle), more over the top Hapsburg treasure - including the royal pillow! We attended Sunday mass where some of them married, and twenty four of them have their hearts in urns. So fascinating! Continuing to collect lovely moments and seize the day!</p>

History (double eagles from Hapsburg rule), left over communist feeling, lovely views, charming cobblestoned paths, a bit of tourist kitsch, all made for a beautiful visit and a sense of "pohoda" - the Czech word for well being.</p>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love love love</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the middle of summer!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finished up a pillow I started </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for a dear friend's daughter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was making all those Vintage Spin wedges,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the first wedge cut leave you with this angled scrap</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">really too small to do anything with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I wedged those scraps and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">glue sticked them down (ala Feddy!).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I decided to keep adding</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and it slowly evolved into the pillow it wanted to be!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(with pom poms...of course!)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Staying with the idea of finishing...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">years ago,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I trekked to Kalispell, MT </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and took a class with Ruth McDowell.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The gist of the class was</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to take a photo you love -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my middle son </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">walking down the beach of Lake Michigan</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with his bucket and fishing pole -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">blown it up, sketch it out, and divide it into</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a million sketched pieces that you can then </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">turn into a million fabric pieces</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and stitch together to make</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a most fantastic Ruthlike quilt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My friend Sue told me I should stay until the end,</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">even a day later, she suggested, to ensure I finished.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That was the best quilting advice - that I never took.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I left a day early to see U2 play in Seattle,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and what I started in that class</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">has lived rolled up under my bed ever since.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago I pulled it out,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">stuck in on my design wall,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>and immediately</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i> hung another piece of batting over it </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and proceeded to make my Jen Kingwell quilt!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ha!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alas, that Jen Kingwell quilt is finished, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">sew much fun,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but no more excuses..</span><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I knew there was no way I was going to piece it,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so I am glue sticking (ala Freddy) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and will trust the quilter to work her magic.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the left is what I left class with -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a hundred little precise pieces</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">pinned to an outline of my quilt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the right is my transfer to a piece of muslin.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am concerned about fabric choices </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that I did not make in class</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and now have to make on my own...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">good practice taking one piece at a time</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and trusting it will work out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Deep breath.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's progress...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Congrats!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to all who have commented! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been great fun...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">if a bit challenging for me to get </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">things packaged and mailed...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but so worth it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love sharing and free stuff</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but mostly love knowing there are other </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">quilters out there having fun!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One last summer giveaway!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kathy Doughty talked about texture. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She loves plaids.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Turns out I do not have a lot of plaids...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">BUT </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I do have some stripes!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a stripe - aganza!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some fat quarters and fat eighths of all these stripes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(and maybe some more that I find!)</span></div>
