Jezebel's Quilt Top Finished

I was determined to finish Jezebel's Quilt top, today and got down to the last border when I was struck down by a migraine around noon. I don't get them very often and they aren't nearly as severe as when I was younger but I took to my bed in an effort to head off the worst of the symptoms.


Jezebel used to always know when I was sick and would cuddle up next to me on the bed. I called Evelyn in to lay down with me and she did it, grudgingly. I had to insist that she lay up close to my head and felt a little guilty about it. We don't believe in making a dog do something like that unless they want to. If we wouldn't do it to a child, we don't do it to the dogs. All I can say is that I wasn't thinking straight. After a minute or so, Evelyn decided that she liked being petted and settled in with me for a couple of hours. She wasn't touching me but she was close and seemed to enjoy the attention. Jezebel would have been pressed up against me but I was thrilled that Evelyn would even lay down on the bed for more than two minutes.


After a couple of hours, we got up and I ate something. The migraine was still there so I went on back to bed, alone. Two hours later, after the sun was down, I woke up and discovered that Evelyn had come back to bed and was pressed up against my side. She may turn into a therapy dog, yet!


I got up, drank a coke and then went back to finish the quilt top. I'm pleased with how it is coming along. Here are a few pictures:



Later, Husband was sitting on the bed changing out of his work clothes. Evelyn came bounding it, walked right on him and lay down on my pillow. Jezebel did that sort of thing all the time but this was a first for Evelyn!

I've been playing with my camera and finally getting around to learning some of the functions. I was playing with highlighting yellows and blues. Here are a few of my attempts.

I think I lost my mind, yesterday. I swung by the quilt shop between cases and the following fabrics called my name:


Seriously, I just had to have them. What was I thinking? For some reason, I've also been using my left hand a lot more (I am right handed and very much so). Maybe I had a stroke and just don't know it.
