Another Patriotic Throw Begun

It's been a long time since I've posted, but I've been reading all your blogs, even when I haven't commented.  I've been a little under the weather, really since Christmas, but hopefully I'll be on the mend soon after a four-day stay in the hospital this past week.  That was my first overnight stay since 1965 when my last child was born!  Not bad, I'd say, for an old lady!  Still have a few health issues to figure out, but I'm on the mend now.

Before the emergency room run last Wednesday, I was working on this new project.  It will be donated to the church Youth auction in April.  I was in the process of getting the piecing done when I had to quit.  Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel like doing a little sewing and at least get the top finished.  You can see the plan at the left side of the picture, from AllPeopleQuilt.com.  I've got to sew a bit before I can lay out the other side. The border on the right side is complete and hanging off the table, but not stitched onto the center big star.

Just wanted you to know I'm still around; just moving slowly for a few days.
