Joe has been watching me make the circle quilt, and I am happy that it is turning out so well, so I guess that all I am doing is teasing you a bit, but you will see the pic of it tomorrow for sure. As to the suggestions to do it by hand, the doctor wants me to use my legs as much as possible, so I do go to the sewing machine and stay there as long as I can...Sitting in a lounge chair and handsewing is not going to work my muscles. The good thing is that I sew while I watch tv, as my sewing area is right by the tv in the living room.
As to Bobbi, we are going out to try to find him on Sunday, if the weather permits. We have had some major storms here in Donegal County, and even though we are taking long walks and following doctor's orders, we are coming back very wet. Here is a wee walk we took to Portnalagh, which is a beach near our own Killohoey Beach. It has a wee harbor, and you can see Horn Head to the left and the vast ocean . When Joe and I take the bus into Letterkenny, we always see Portnablagh first when the bus turns the bend heading back to our area. It is gorgeous there , and it always tells us that we are home. We were lucky that the weather cooperated, and we could get some pi

Hope you enjoyed the pics and don't forget that tomorrow is the pic of the circle quilt, which of course I made using the AccuQuilt GO. I am appreciating having the GO, as I really find it hard to stand in one spot too long, and boy does the GO do the cutting fast. See you tomorrow! Enjoy your Saturdays and do appreciate all the positive things in your life....I sure do!!!!!!
PS: Thanks to Caroll from Attic Window Quilt Shop for telling me that she missed my posts. What a lovely way to begin my day. You are a sweetheart Caroll!

That's the thing about muscles - you need to use them to make them work. I'm often lazy to do my exercises and the consequence is my muscles hurt more because they're not being worked. All the best.
Good luck on the Bobbi hunt, i hope you find him. Have fun sewing at the machine and focus on your legs being perfect. Just keep saying they are great. You'll get there.
The pictures are breathtaking, but you must be careful with getting better. Work you muscles, but also get the right kind of rest too.
I hope you find Bobbi this Sunday.

I love your pic. Hope you will find Bobby.

I hope you find Bobbi! I always love your pictures from your walks.... it's so beautiful, even on cloudy days. That's got to make it a little easier to take those necessary walks.
Good luck finding Bobbi.
Looking forward to seeing your circle quilt.
You are lucky to have your Joe to help.
It is good to hear from you again. I had been wondering about you. I'm glad that you are continuing to quilt. From the sounds of it, the doctor's orders are keep on quilting. Yay! I hope you are able to find Bobbi on your next walk. Best wishes!
Ah.. glad to hear you are doing your exercise. I have to do my back stretches every morning to avoid troubles. Funny what we take for granted isn't it.
You are a terrible tease with that quilt!
Photos are just gorgeous. You live in a beautiful country. I remember visiting Donagal in the 1977 the greens are so gorgeous and the beach we saw was breathtaking. I was thinking about you the other day and wondered how you were doing. Can't wait to see your circle quilt. I think I have tried to win the GO about 20 times LOL. Not sure it is in my future. LOL
We all love your scenery pictures, makes us feel close. Looking forward to the circle quilt.. Your projects are always amazing.
Hugs,

I enjoyed each of your pictures, Micki. I enlarged them and enjoyed all of the details. I'll bet you were pretty chilly if you were wet!!!
I'll bet the circle quilt will be fabulous. I can't wait to see it finished.
It is sad how we take so much for granted. When it is part of our everyday lives we don't take the time and appreciate it UNTIL it is brought to our attention. It does sound like you are doing everything that you can to make this situation improve.
I hope it will be a great walk tomorrow.
I'm glad to hear you're walking! That's something. The pictures are so beautiful -- thank you for sharing.
How nice to have such great scenery while exercising. Looking forward to tomorrow's photos of the quilt.
Yes they say you have to move about or use the muscles or you cease up
At least you are managing what you can so that better than nothing you take care
Hugs Janice

Thank you for sharing those beautiful photos of the scenery on your walk... just gorgeous! Hope Bobbi makes an appearance soon to ease any worry. Sending you good thoughts and hoping the pain in your legs start easing soon.

So beautiful! I love all the photos! And I'm looking forward to the circle quilt tomorrow.
Hi Micki,
I am happy to see you are sewing! Beautiful pictures from your walk! Keep on with the exercises!
You are a tease, I will be looking out for a picture of your circle quilt. Glad that you are doing everything you can to strengthen your muscles and get better.
So happy that you are still able to enjoy your crafts. I did smile about what you said, I have trouble getting OUT of bed. What a blessing Joe is in your life x
You surely do live in a very beautiful place Micki. I hope you manage to find Bobbi.
I always love seeing your photos of the area in which you live. It's just beautiful!
I'm glad you still able to do your long walks and sit at your sewing machine. Looking forward to seeing your circle quilt.
Such beautiful countryside. I know I would love walks in such a beautiful place. I love seeing photos of your area. I bet the fresh air and walks will be good for your leg.
