As I was browsing blogs today, I found a unique birches quilt at Crafter by Night and just had to share.  I was particularly struck by the colors…turquoise, tan, brown, beige and white. 
Miriam’s quilt isn’t finished, but she shows us some “in progress” photos.  Perhaps you’ll be inspired as I was when viewing the birches quilt. 
I also subscribe to Miriam’s blog so get to see many of the crafts she does.

 Pain often plagues the quilter or crafter, whether from an illness or the motions used in pursuing their business or hobby. Enduring pain while carrying out these tasks often can be a challenge. Knowing where to turn for pain information presents another puzzle.
Marijke Durning, at Help My Hurt offers resources for those experiencing different types of pain. Recently she wrote a post, 5 pain-related websites/groups for you  .  You may find these helpful, or discover they lead you to other web sites of interest.
Do you have a particular pain web site that you find helpful ?
