WIP Wed: More Organic Chemistry, Clothes, and a Few More Postcards

I'm sure you all are getting so tired of seeing this WIP, but as usual, it's taken me much longer than anticipated to get it all quilted.  I love the hexagon quilting that I'm doing on it, but it takes a whole lot of time, and can't really be rushed.  It'll be so good to get this one finished.  I'm ALMOST there too!  These 2 blocks are at the bottom of the quilt, and are the last part to be quilted.  With any luck, I can finish it today!

I also got the itch to make some more clothes!  I have been keeping my New Year's Resolution to start and keep a regular exercise routine, and after 3+ months of "just doing it", my clothes are all starting to get really loose.  I really haven't lost a whole lot of weight, which is a bit discouraging.  I'm not overweight, but did want to loose about 10 pounds, but the inches are definitely coming off!!  I made a quick "1 hour" Simplicity pattern skirt, and it turned out pretty cute.  I plan on making more clothes soon!

Finally, my last round of postcards were fun thank you notes, but this last round was a condolence card for a family member, and a get well card for a good friend who recently went through her 5th brain surgery to remove a malignant Glioblastoma Multiform. She's been battling this cancer for 12 years, which is remarkable, since it rarely has a survival rate more than a year.  If you have a strong stomach and an interest, she recently posted a journey before and after her surgery.  She's an amazing woman! Her Youtube channel also has a beautiful video climbing Mt Whitney in California last summer that is a treat for anyone to view!

As usual, I'm linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced WIP Wed.  Come see what others are working on!
