Not much quilting these days. I've been super busy with other things, mainly physical therapy. I injured a tendon in my shoulder awhile ago. I think it was from carrying my precious toddler around, but in reality it's probably due to years of neglect. In any event the physical therapy has put a damper on any heavy use of my shoulder, including quilting. :(
So I've been busy creating other things. I've been wanting to make a "Home is where the Army sends us" sign for quite some time. After auditioning what seemed like a million different handwriting styles, I decided to just buy a stencil. I found this
one from the Stencilsmith. They have reasonable prices and super fast shipping. Fast shipping is always a priority for me.
Here's the final result:

We're still on our first duty station so those empty ones on the bottom are currently just wishful thinking. As much as I want to see other parts of the country (and possibly the world- Germany anyone?) I'm grateful we've had a pretty good Army experience. My husband and I were married in El Paso, I got my first professional job here, we bought our first house here, and of course our baby was born here. We've had some good experiences here but I think we're all ready to move on.
I'm hoping to regain some use of my shoulder soon because I have a lap quilt waiting to be quilted, three toddler sized lap quilts waiting to be assembled, and a baby quilt waiting to be pieced. I'll be busy for the next few weeks!
