This is the curved log cabin that I finished in January. The long arm quilter did a great job, offering flowers and curves, with just enough texture. I used a soft yellow for the back. I need to take a better photo - actually, a few - so I can list it on etsy. Winter is a tough time for picture taking, though. The weather is too gloomy for indoor pictures, or too cold to take them outside. I have several waiting to be photographed and then I'll send them off to the Parkinsons Comfort Project.
I've been laid up with a bum knee for a week, and it sure is getting old. I don't know what happened. I just woke up last Tuesday in pain with swelling. I've been putting arneca gel on it (at Mom's recommendation), taking turmeric pills (at Yve's recommendation), and taking Tylenol when it starts hurting. I have been walking in the mall most days but not as fast or as long. Have missed yoga twice, and hope to go next week since every day I feel a little better. Sorry to whine!
Tonight I'm heading downtown for a community forum on livable wages and how we are training people for jobs in the 21st century. I contacted two of the three panelists who sound terrific, and I hope we (the Greater Barre Democrats) get a good turnout. Tomorrow I'm meeting with Louise and Guy to see how we can inject a little new life into the town Democratic committee. The school consolidation vote went down for a second time yesterday, so we really need to get some new, energetic members.
In between quilting, reading, and political this-and-that, I have been picking up items for the Friends of the Library annual banquet/auction in March. We will be away for that wonderful event, so I want to make sure I do my part before we go. Saturday I picked up a 919 piece Lego firehouse from a toy store - it should be a hit in the live auction.

I had been interested in the Turmeric idea of treating inflammation or pain or whatever it is people say it is supposed to do and read so many things that says the amount you have to take for it to actually do anything is insane - a whole heck of a lot. Hope you knee gets better soon and you can walk easier. Pretty quilt.
