Good morning, everyone! I hope you all are having a marvelous day...I am...I am off from work! The towels and linens are in the washer, housework is underway, the big catch-up from several days at work at the hospital...I know you understand how it goes. Above are my bear paw blocks; I have managed to make a couple more in between all the chaos of work and home business. I like the scrappy goodness of them! Thank you to Judy Lauqidara for the inspiration for these blocks.
Remember the kitchen sink quilt? Everything in here but the kitchen sink. It is mostly quilted (hand), and bound now. It sure was fun! All from 2 inch strips. It will make a great TV quilt. This one was inspired by Bonnie from Quiltville, who made some of these blocks. Thanks Bonnie!
This is a little notebook cover, made for a co-worker. Sometimes people hear that I am a quilter and bring me fabric and scraps that they just do not want any more. A nurse at work brought me some little fabric scraps, and I decided that I should just make her something that night and bring her fabric back to her! So this is what I made for her. She liked it!

I wrote out here what happened at work these past few days...but I just deleted it. It felt good to just get it out...but do I really want to read it again later? I don't think so...just suffice it to say that I am glad I am off today, glad I am not up to my armpits in a Code Blue...just glad for the happy sounds of birds and tip-tapping of the keyboard, the washer running, the doggie pushing his bowl around, the wind lightly blowing...all good things!
Gratitude's:
Health
The ability and job to work (employment)
Family, always
You, my dear blog friends, always you all!
Have a happy day!!!
Julie

Hi I really like your bear paw quilt!
A kitchen sink quilt never looked so good! It's delightful...truly. And I'm glad that you've enjoyed hours of handwork...then I know that you're relaxing. ;-)
Love the little notebook cover too! Sweet of you to give her fabric back. ;-)
I'm glad you were able to unload your shoulders a bit. Sometimes that's just what the *doctor* ordered! ;-)
Hugs to you, Jules.
