Can't sleep tonight!

Here it is 2am in the morning and I can't sleep.  I got some very good news from my spine specialist.  I don't need surgery at this time since my leg and back pain have improved after having the steroid shot in my back 6 weeks ago and strength has gotten better in my R leg.  I was not looking forward to surgery so close to my Shoulder replacement surgery in late August.  I am so glad I opted for the steroid shot in my back in October.  My Shoulder continues to get stronger daily and I am back to working in my Studio - quilting and sewing and organizing. 
Yesterday morning while reading an old quilting magazine, American Patchwork & Quilting,  I found a pattern for a small wall hanging that would be ideal for spring.  It is called "Nature's Beauty" by Designer Carol Armstrong.   She also has a book out that I want to read.  I think I will see if it is available in the Library downtown.

    1. Thank you Meg. Yes I am so grateful that I do not need surgery at this time. Now I can concentrate on enjoying the Holiday Season and look forward to the new year.
      I did look up her books on Amazon and EBay and did order them to put in my reference library. In the meantime I went to my local library and put them on hold. Hope all is well with you - how is the pattern making going? Any new classes coming up.
