I can't believe it has been a year since I had my surgery for breast cancer. I feel pretty good. The pain in my left breast has dulled somewhat. They tell me I am now cancer free although I still need to see my oncologist every 6 month and get my annual mammogram.
I just recently celebrated my 71st birthday. Inside I feel quite young, unfortunately the outside is showing the wear and tear of 71 years...lol
Now for an update of the projects I've been working on.
1. Seasons BOM
These were the blocks for this month. Buttons will be added to the Snowman.
With these blocks I was able to sew some sections together. This is part of the middle section.
This is the completed bottom row.
2. 1930's BOW
3. Barbara Brackman's Yankee Notions
4. Aunt Em's Baskets and Blooms.
This is a very tall row. It is 12" x 54". I still need to add blocks at the top
5. Annebelle BOM
At first I was disappointed when I got this months pattern. These stars go around the medallion. However there are suppose to be 16 blocks. 8 in two different colorways. Well once I started working on these blocks I was glad that I was only making 8 blocks. They took quite a bit of time to finish. Next month I should get the second colorway.
6. I started a new project.
These blocks were made using a Layer Cake. There is only a 1" x 5" strip left over after cutting the layer cake. The blocks finish at 9" 12 down and 30 to go. I have them all cut out so it shouldn't take too long.
Well that's it for now. Be sure stop back at the end of the month for more updates.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs, Cathy

Such a big milestone in your Cancer recovery! I'm sorry you are still experiencing some pain.
Looks like you have a lot of fun projects to keep you engaged.
I really like the whimsical Seasons BOM
What a wonderful anniversary to be celebrating!!!
Oh Cathy, what a wonderful thing to celebrate! We are all thankful for your anniversary and all your inspiration! Keep up the good work!
Good for you on your year of being Cancer free!!
From all you are stitching up, your 71 years are not slowing you down at all!! :)
I am so glad for you to be cancer free. You had a scary year.
My goodness! You have lots of projects going and a lot done to share pictures of in your post. The seasonal quilt is my favorite of your projects this time.
Wonderful progress Cathy, love your new blocks. Congratulations on defeating cancer.
I concur with you....I am 72 and feel much younger. Can’t figure out where the years went and am always surprised when the changes brought on by aging stare me in the face. Just love those happy BOM blocks, but the 30’s block steals my heart. As always, amazed at how much you accomplish and how you stick with your projects. Congrats on being a year out from breast cancer.
