Wow! Another beauty!  It's so bright and cheery.  How are your daughters getting along?

Hiya, Lynne    

Our NYC daughter,  the one with the defective BRCA gene, has her first chemo appt on 2/23.  She's in a very good mental space right now.  She's got what she needs to do planned out and anticipated,  so it's not so much of a terrifying unknown.  She has not only family support but local support.  She has returned to work,  partly at home, partly in the office.

Our Colorado daughter, the one with the reconstructed ankle, ... pardon the analogy ... two steps forward, one step back. There was a small problem with the way the ankle was reset when the original cast was replaced so she now is doing PT that will correct that .... and it's painful. But, she's doing it.  I think it will be "soon" that she can start putting weight (but not walking) on the foot.  She's hoping that by April/May, she'll be able to drive.

She is working from home so she can elevate and rest her foot when needed.  She's also coordinating the details of her upcoming May wedding.  Understandably,  she's a bit stressed right now.  But she also has both family support and help at home.  What is frustrating for her is that she just isn't as independently mobile as she would like at this time.

Glad to hear  they are doing well.  Sounds like you have raised some strong young women.

Now that is interesting!  I could cut those flying geese with the Accuquilt die!   Usually I hate making flying geese, but with the cut pieces I don’t mind!  And I like the co-ordinated color scrappy look!

Glad that the girls are making progress.  Good support is important, both physical and emotional.  Glad they have the support they need.  Can't imagine not being able to drive for that length of time.  That would test my patience

Waaaay back in 2021 (Sept, to be exact), I started an EPP project, Forget Me Not by Sue Daly.  Sue started this project as a BOM in August 2015, directions for which were posted on Sue Daly's blog.   Those direction are STILL publicly available.  (https://www.suedaleyblog.com/forget-me-not-sew-along/)

The BOM was long finished by the time I found it but since all the directions were still online, I was able to (eventually) complete the project.  I am now VERY HAPPY to say that as of February 2023, I have FINISHED the top.  woo hoo!

I did change up Sue's project by adding borders onto mine so that it was larger.  I added a paper-pieced diamond border and an outer slab-o-border onto which I appliqued vines, flowers and hearts.  My project is 82" square.     

To clarify matters, Sue Daly's project is *just* the interior English Paper Pieced medallion.  I added on the borders.

I am so happy to finally get this one done.  It's been in the final stages of being completed for a very long time.

That is just amazing! Love the addition of the applique border
