Early morning catch up

I had intended to post last night, but with it being Mother's Day, I spent a couple of hours on the phone with two of my kids, my oldest grandson and my oldest/only great granddaughter and, after fixing a quick dinner for hubby and myself, I went to bed.

That's not to say that I didn't do any sewing because I did... until the kids called...



I took photos of some of the individual blocks I did yesterday... didn't do it for the flower blocks, though.  Yes, I said flowers... I discovered them while waiting for more birds to show up on the second day of the 30 bird a day collection.  And the flowers are all there for the entire month of May, so I decided that I would do a mix of the two.

As you can see, I did four blocks yesterday and I was working on #5 when the phone calls started coming in. 

Today - this afternoon actually, I have an appointment with a cardiologist - just to make sure that what I experienced  a few weeks ago was stress/anxiety and not a heart attack.  My father's father died in his very early 60's from heart failure; my father died in his mid 50's from heart failure and my aunt told me that she had had several heart attacks (apparently minor) - so you might understand why I'm a little concerned about chest pain I had a few weeks ago and experiencing more frequent feelings of my heart 'doing somersaults' (only way I can describe it).

Anyway, enough about that...  as you can see by the photo above, I still haven't finished the Nine Patch family reunion - I still have one more character to do and I hope to get to it this week and then find some backing fabric so that it can be the next one to spend up close and personal time with Mo'e.... and, no, I still haven't done the borders on the quilt that's been with Mo'e for more than a week now? .. I keep changing my mind as to how I want to do the borders because either I don't think I can do 'that' pattern or do it upside down or I'm not sure if I can make it to fit the borders.

Ok, well, anyway....  I have things to do ( like fill out paperwork for dr's office) so I guess I'd better get going here.

take care..

  1. Well this IS early! I hope the doc has good news, but if you need a ride or anything, give me a holler! The birds are looking great and I love the idea of adding flowers in also. Perfect! As for not being able to do a motif upside down, I hear ya, but can you take it off and load it the other direction? More work, but you know it will be right side up at least!

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
