2017 Utah State Fair Quilt Challenge

A week ago today I was in an accident – my first. I lost a car I loved, and it may be some time before it’s replaced. Even longer before I feel like getting behind a wheel again. They had to cut my wedding ring off my hand in the ER. My left arm is shattered and my brain is bruised. It’s only temporary, but I can’t do much of anything without help. Even reading a page or two of my library book is taxing. (Memo to me: renew the book before it’s overdue.) I couldn’t make it to the fair yesterday to enter next year’s quilt challenge or to see how this year’s quilt fared. So my sweet husband did it for me. He called with good news: A BLUE RIBBON! I know it’s silly, but it means a lot to me. The takeaway from this week? Life is good, and  even when it isn’t great, it sure beats the alternative.
