Max – and other success stories
Posted By drsao on November 7, 2010
For those of you who do not know, my DH, Max, had a mini-stroke Tuesday. It immediately made my LIST OF MY NOT SO FAVORITE THINGS. It was pretty scary. For awhile he couldn’t write or talk. I AM SO THANKFUL AND HAPPY TO SAY THAT HE HAS RECOVERED – and we are at home! He appears to have no permanent brain damage and we are hoping the new meds will be effective.
Max says hello to our family and friends
WE LOVE THIS HOSPITAL – we got such good care and good food too! Thanks Bon Secours!
Life is fragile – just another reason to be thankful and appreciate each moment. AND GET ALL OF YOUR IMPORTANT PAPERS FILED…….(Max and I have been working on that today! I could NOT FIND his health care directive!!!!)
WE LOVE THIS HOSPITAL
OK – so Max is my first success story – and now for my quilty report!
I am so excited for Bonnie K. Hunter’s ROLL ROLL COTTON BOLL Mystery (you can join in on the fun – just go to www.quiltville.com to see the fabric requirements listed.) The first clue is expected November 19…….here are some fabrics that I am considering……
Auditioning Fabric for Connect the Dots Quilt
Since I was NOT having a lot of luck with my SOCK KNITTING, I decided to tackle Judy L’s CONNECT THE DOTS MYSTERY. So I auditioned some fabric and went to Patchworktimes. com ….and VOILA
LOOK WHAT I HAVE ON MY DESIGN FLOOR NOW! I didn’t end up using the green fabric – I discovered some nice teal fabric with hints of gold Jinny Beyer fabric in my stash – and I used that and love it….
Connect the Dots on my Design Floor
And now I am going to tackle the pieced border – hey anything that has those little 1 1/2″ pieces is a GOOD THING – right? THANKS JUDY L FOR THIS FABULOUS PATTERN!!!
ONE MORE SUCCESS STORY (I am trying to cheer myself up because I don’t have any KNITTED SOCKS to show…..)
Part of the Pink Milky Way on my DESIGN FLOOR
I have nine blocks of my PINK MILKY WAY finished. I love this pattern! I had quite a lot of pink in my stash and I have also collected some of the pink fabric from Augusta Cole’s CUTTING BEE (and I will be enjoying my THIRD CUTTING BEE WITH AUGUSTA January 29 – yes it is already on my calendar for 2011.) SO I am pretty happy with my success stories……
:):)
I LOVE your scrappy version. I just hated to miss out on the mystery but didn’t want to purchase any more fabric. So glad you are having things to be thankful for.
I just love the color combinations you used. It is really gorgeous Shirley!
