Ready for delivery

Third of four 2014 high school graduation quilts all wrapped up.  Ready for my husband's neice.  This has been an extremely busy sewing summer!

This is another Bonnie Hunter quilt pattern found on www.quiltville.com under free patterns.

My run today

I have been running every other day and have been quite pleased until yesterday. 

Let me explain I am not an athlete at all.  I began running off and on a few years ago to combat what middle age woman saga is doing to my body and mind.

Having said that, I am not a marathon runner but would like to be.  Yesterday may have been the proof that I am not meant for this to be.

I have been running in five minute intervals with a one minute walk in between intervals.   Yesterday I ran eight minute intervals and have had knee pain since completing my run.   I am less than happy as this has set back my routine!

My latest read

I am totally hooked on this book 

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19288043-gone-girl

It is receiving mixed reviews and I understand will be a movie out this year staring Ben Affleck.  I am loving the format of the book and a little more than half way it takes a unexpected turn.  So I haven't don't much sewing this week.  I have even brought the book to work to read during my lunch break.  I know I will be looking for another that will grab me like this when I am finished.  Any suggestions?  I did read one of her other books, Sharp Objects.  I would recommend that as well.

Update on new start

This was a very productive weekend for the fourth graduation quilt made in 2014.I share pics and two different layouts I was auditioning while trying to decide what to do.
And of course always a little "Un sewing" seems to be part of the process.  

Again?

I am looking at the information for the Hershey half marathon in October of this year.  I think I have a little more realistic expectations regarding my ability to run the entire route.  Many people do intervals of running and walking.  Soooo I have this back on my radar if I can remain injury free.  14 weeks to prepare.

New start

And so it begins...another start that absolutely cannot be a ufo! This has a destination and a deadline. ..more progress pics to come soon.

Sideswiped

Last night we were watching fire works at a friends house.  While parked along the street someone drove by and took out the driver's side mirror. Grrrrrr.  I hadn't realized how often I actually use that mirror.
