Design Wall Monday - January 31, 2022

Good Morning Quilters!  Lots happening this week with quilting and otherwise.    

Remember, last week I was preparing to make an appliquéd border for the Birds of A Feather quilt top.  I changed my mind, and made a pieced border, which is so much easier for me.  I am a piecer at heart.  So this is what the quilt looks like today, with the left and right side borders attached, and the top and bottom borders ready to be attached soon.  After the hsts, there will be another plain 5 inch border on all sides.  I am happy with my decision and am sure it will go to a longarm quilter soon.  Serendipity!

Hubby brought me these tulips Saturday…..aren’t they lovely?

My only sister Nancy, is in the hospital with pneumonia right now.  She has dialysis 3X a week, so she was transferred to a hospital where she could receive that service within the hospital.   I am so thankful she was transferred to Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids, as it is near me and I can spend lots of time with her.  Even as she is recovering from pneumonia, changes may have to be made in her care post hospital.  Lots of hard decisions ahead for her two sons.

I love to watch the four big tennis tournaments as I love the game so much.  I used to play tennis in college years ago.  One of my favorite players is Rafael Nadal from Spain.  I was watching the Australian Open very very early Sunday morning and saw an incredible match.  Over five hours of two great players battling on the court!  Rafael won after being down two sets, which is a very tough thing to do,  

So lots going on here.  What is on your design wall?  I am looking forward to reading all of your blogs as I sit with my sister this week at the hospital.   Please join the Design Wall Monday Linky Party this week.  Thanks so much for those of you who mention Design Wall Mondays in your blog post, and also link back to this post.
