I've got the Quilter's Dream Request loft batting in and it's quilting up a dream. In fact it's even easier than the previous times I've used it. Maybe because the backing fabric itself is so soft? I dunno, but it's going well.I have been incredibly wiped out. Think it's too much thyroid medication now, which I would have thought would make me hyper, but no such luck. It almost aches to even move instead. Stupid (missing) thyroid. So be patient with me, I'll get back to posting one of these days.
That quilt just screams FLORIDA. It makes me happy just to look at it! Especially with a sweet kitty on it, lol. I hope you feel better soon Tonya!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colours and how it sings even better with a cat modelling on top, if the cat approves this is a good quilt then the quilt is a winner!.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great with the aqua border. I hope you're feeling better soon. It sucks to be sick!
ReplyDeletebtw: thanks for the shoutout about my reception last weekend. We had a small but enthusiastic crowd who loved the letters.
Yeah, stupid missing thyroid. At least you have a cheery, happy quilt to work on while you get the meds worked out. :-)
ReplyDeleteI meant to ask, how your test went? It's a pain getting the thyroid medicine to the right dose. I'm going through that now, just started a higher dose, which last year caused me to have heart palpitations. We'll see how it goes now. The kitty looks so sweet there. Love those colors!
ReplyDeleteoh the blue looks fabulous! sorry to hear your not yourself these days. take care!
ReplyDeletePokey has good taste in quilts! Love the bright cheery colors.
ReplyDeleteHope that you are feeling better soon.
feel better tonya! take it easy... You finished Joy already! your so speedy! yippeee!
ReplyDeleteMargaritaville looks absolutely gorgeous and I love the blue border, too.
ReplyDeleteTake the rest you need and feel better soon. We'll wait!
Swish of the tail and ears laid back say it all. Was Lily trying to steal the limelight?
ReplyDeleteThe blue looks really good. Very Florida'ish.
That dratted thyroid. Take care of yourself.
The blue is perfect for the quilt - restful and uniting.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a very cute cat sitting on a very cute quilt. Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteyeh blue!! good choice for the border!! Sorry about the 'thyroid' ordeal....I must say I am unfamiliar with thyroid problems!!!
ReplyDeletePokey is saying "see, mom, that blue really brings the blue out in my eyes". Cute cat on a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself while the thyroid meds are being tweaked; hope you found a good endocrinologist to take care of you in FL.

That is definitely a TONYA BLUE! I love it..it makes all the other colors sparkle...and picks up the blue in Pokey's eyes!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you've been feeling so BLAH! It's just not sposed to be this way...when you are stateside...and it's spring..and you are in a place you love...you need to feel GOOD!!
*hugs*

Love the quilt and the cat who is modeling it! Hope you feel up to snuff soon.
ReplyDeletethat small orange bit up there by Pokey's feet is so pretty...I hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is coming along beautifully, and I hope it gives you some cheer when you are not feeling well to even look at it. (Color therapy!) I have a lot of days when I feel really crummy because of heath issues, but I know I can always count on getting a lift from looking at quilts! And I hope Pokey helps lift your spirits, too!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors! The cat modles it well. lol
ReplyDeleteBeen missing you on the blogs so sorry your thyroid is giveing you troubles.
Love your quilt, so cheerful. Please take care and be nice to yourself. Some things are not to be rushed... Troublesome thyroids are no joke. I am afraid it is something that "takes one to know one". Wish you will feel better soon, and sending you a hug...
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the thyroid isn't playing fair! Loved the impressionist cat pic, very creative, the quilt is going very well too, cheers, tracey
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see that you're filling our time with something so bright and pretty. Pokey is pretty too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you went with the blue border-I really love that color. It's perfect.
I love the border. I have thryoid trouble, too. And I have found that it takes days and days to adjust to any dosage change.
ReplyDeleteI agree--it's easy to see that you're back in Florida just by looking at this quilt.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy and listen to your body. If the body doesn't want to move, park it in a recliner, watch movies, and eat bon bons. Simple as that.
Love the Margarta quilt!-feel better soon! I am still working on my name for you-have had the flu so it's taking me a while to finish up, been too tired to sew at all, but I promise it will get to you soon-mine seems kinda long too ( I hope it's not too big)
ReplyDeleteNot feeling well can really...stink! Pokey knows she looks good on that quilt...
ReplyDeleteAre you hand quilting it?
ReplyDeletefeel better. those colors should help. of course a real margarita might too.
ReplyDeleteHang in there. Those health issues sure can be frustrating. At least you have your hand quilting to soothe you :- )
ReplyDeleteThis really looks like the "Fabric Square Shop" logo in your right margin. On purpose or serendipitous coincidence? :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful.
Truly miss you when you are not blogging. Feel better soon. I love your quilt and your cat. norma"
ReplyDeleteOh it is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe quite is simply delightful! I hope you feel better soon! Polly
ReplyDeleteThe blue was a good decision. Sorry you're feeling low. Cut yourself some slack and rest - your body's telling you that you need to.
