My inspiration was by President Trump's tweet on December 18, 2018 that the border wall would
not be made of concrete but of “artistically designed steel slats, so
that you can see through it ….It will be beautiful and, at the same
time, give our Country the security that our citizens deserve.”
I added
green leafy vines up the steel slates to add help “beautify” the wall.I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I used to "suture for a living", I continue "to live to sew". These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.

Three More Knitted Hats
The first hat was knit using the pattern Jason's Cashmere Hat
by Melissa Thomson. The yarn is Malabrigo Yarn Rios in colorway Diana (#886). I think I may keep this one.
The second one was knit at my husband's request. I used the Regular Guy Beanie by Chuck Wright. The yarn is Cascade Superwash 220 in black.
I then used the leftover yarn from the above two hats to knit the third one seen below. I used the pattern Gingerbread Hat by Angela Whisnant.
