New Week

After spending most of last week in doctors' offices, this week should be easy.  I have learned to make peace with a lot of new processes here.  One is travelling on College/Carolina Beach road, another is using "my chart" to find out information from visits etc.  They even put the same report in my chart as they sent to my primary care physician regarding the results of my stress test.  Of course I did not understand 75% of it.  Let's be honest 95% of it but it is there.  Now to get a surgery date.

I went to a workshop for neonatal quilt making sponsored by Cape Fear Orthopedic Hospital and Quilters by the Sea.  The kits are already made and they have tops others have made if you are willing to quilt them. They come with batting, backing and binding.  It is interesting how so many
things in quilting start with a "b" isn't it?

This is the pattern for this workshop.  However it is turned sideways.  It is called Candy Bars and is

about 40" by 40"

Yesterday was a lazy day.  My church buddy was out of town so I came home after stopping at Lowes

to get some chicken salad for lunch.  Cecil and I promptly took a nap.

And somehow last week I finally finished 30 blocks of my red and white quilt top. Each block is 14.5".  Not sure about borders yet.  Have to put them together.

I will put on a 2.5" inner white border then maybe an outer border of cream with tiny red something in it.  Of course I have ordered several fabrics to make a selection. Surprise.

On to sewing this morning then take old car in for oil change at 1:30 and Guild meeting tonight at 7.

Happy summer quilting,

Sally
