Fell off the horse again

This time because last Tuesday morning my husband thought he was having another heart attack and I had to rush him to the hospital.  It wasn't a heart attack after all, but he was seriously sick - as in 3 units of blood low and bleeding internally.  He was admitted to the local hospital and kept over night and then moved into Lansing where he stayed until late Saturday afternoon.   And, on top of that, I was dealing with the carpenter that kept saying "Tomorrow night I'll get it ( the new back porch) finished; that was finally finished after hubby got home on Saturday.   I wish I could say the stress has eased up, but it hasn't yet... three drs appointments this week.

Sunday, I did try to quilt... there was a small wall hanging that has been on Mo'e's frame for over a week now while I was trying to decide how I wanted to quilt it and while all this stuff was going on with hubby.  I had tried doing in the ditch stitching earlier ( pre ER visit) but I was trying with double batting and, apparently, Mo'e didn't like it... I couldn't get straight in the seam stitching so ripped it all out and went back to one layer and that was working so much better.

Then, as I rolled the quilt up further onto the frame... I saw it!!  The bobbin thread was just LAYING on the backing fabric!!!!!!!!  It looked good on the front but the back looked/looks like crap!


Hubby has dr appt first thing ( well, late morning but early for us) tomorrow and maybe when we get back I'll feel more like unstitching the rest of this quilt. 

Today I did one load of laundry, emptied the dishwasher and reloaded & ran it while fixing dinner, put clean sheets on hubby's bed.  The rest of the day was spent watching Penn and Teller on youtube... Don't Judge Me!  I needed it.

take care...
