Hello eveyone!

Well, I got absolutley nothing worked on this week.  The sinus infection that started on Valentine's Day had me too woozy to move around much last weekend so most of my time was spent drinking water, taking decongestants, and resting.  There was some improvement on Monday, but not enough that I felt I could run my errands.  Therefore, I placed an order online for my groceries so I wouldn't need to go into the store and only went to the pharmacy to pick up my husband's prescriptions.

Layer Cake Tumble Quilt Top

At least I was well enough to drive as my husband had a CAT scan Wednesday morning, eye exam Wednesday afternoon, and an MRI on Thursday.  That pretty much blew the rest of my week as I ended up spending Friday catching up on laundry and housework.  Today, I've decided to finally do my hair.  It really needed to be done last month.  I just didn't find the time.  The cutting is done, the perm is in progress, and once it's rinsed and neutralized I can cover up my gray hairs again.

Yes, I do my own hair.  My mother's cousin was a hairdresser until she retired.  She always did our hair when we were children.  As we got older, we helped her when she did the cuts, perms, and styles.  I've done my own hair ever since.  Must be the cheap Yankee side of the family contributing to that as well.  I just can't justify spending a week's grocery money to get my hair done.

I certainly hope you've all achieved more than I have this week.  I'd like to have my Valentine pillow covers done and St. Patrick's Day covers at least begun by next week.  I also need to sandwich the next quilt top for quiting.  I'll have to decide which one it will be.  I have two I made with Picnic Pop that I'd like to get out of the way.  I used Fat Quarter Shop's Layer Cake Tumble pattern for them. I'm leaning toward getting at one of them out of the way. 

Sorry this wasn't much of an update.  Have a great week.

 Hello everyone, This is if anyone is still checking in now and then.  Taking care of my husband has taken over everything.  By the time I have time to sew I'm too tired to bother.  They finally scheduled his back surgery for this coming Wednesday. Hopefully, it will go well.  If his back continues to deteriorate, they would have been doing it as an emergency surgery to try to keep him capable of walking.  Not that he's doing much of that these days. Diamond Grid-Layer Cake Tumble Quilt All my plans to quilt the the five or six quilt tops I've made have gone down the tubes as they say. I have a basic grid done on one of them and that's as far as I've gotten.  I had hoped to have them all quilted by the end of June so I could move on to making some of the patterns I'd planned on for this year as well as some Christmas gifts.  I don't know if I'll get to any of it now. I've gone back to work part-time to help pay some of the medical bills.  I a...

Apologies again.  I have had no time to work on any quilting or craft projects.  I've been spending all of my time at hospitals and rehab facilities making sure my husband is doing all right. Unfortunately, when he was transferred to rehab this past Tuesday after his spinal surgery, the nurses at the facility were dosing him with too much insulin.  He ended up in the ER Thursday morning with low blood pressure, low body temperature, and a blood glucose level of 30.  He very nearly died because of their stupidity.  Needless to say, he will definitely not be going back there.  Now I have to fight with his insurance to get them to cover an out-of-network rehab facility that wasn't out of network five months ago when he was there for rehab.  It's also less expensive than the place that nearly killed him.  GRRRRRR! Anyway, I hope those of you who are still checking in now and then are moving along with your projects.  I would love to do something ...

Hello all, I've been very busy lately.  I'm still sorting through my late husband's things of course, but I've also been making time for my hobbies.  I finished quilting one of the quilt tops I had hoped to quilt last year, I'm working on another afghan, and finally got around to making two new 18" pillow covers for my living room. Layer Cake Tumble Quilt   Current Afghan Project Buttercup Pillow Covers I still have a few quilt tops to quilt and a few new projects I want to start.  I hope to keep things rolling along even if my progess is a bit slower than I would like. There is a small group of Holy Union Sisters living at the senior assisted living facility where I work part-time.  They are planning a mass in memory of my late husband Gerry sometime this month.  They're a very kind group of ladies and have been very considerate of me and of Gerry before he passed.  It was kind of them to offer to do this mass for him and I appreciate it very much as ...
