updates

for over a week my life has been on hold...my granddaughter Holly was in a terrible accident
and lfe here has been about her. Yesterday we got the first hopeful news about her...she is still
in PCIU in cleveland with a terrible head injury and in crital condition but the Drs are talking
about the future! Until yesterday only the family had faith, Its going to be a long hard haul for
Holly but they are thinking she will be OK...We are celebrating!

Please, if you pray, Pray for Holly!

Napkin's are fun!


I made these little napkins while at a retreat...aren't they neat! The pattern was accually for Christmas napkins, but, I needed napkins for now. i just might make some for Christmas to...but first I have to get more
for now. I have been going green and most of my
napkins are down to 2 or 3 per set(and lots of singles) I will slowly build them back up.
Here it is Tuesday already and I still have no goals yet this week...hmmmmmmmm. Guess
I had better list them as I sit here. Since I have
been fighting a sinus infection they are simple
this week. So here they are for the week:
1. finish quilting and bind a baby quilt on DSM.
2. finish quilting a july 4th quilt for a friend
3. make a crossing Ohio block
4. count my blessings each day
as ever,
ann

just an update

things here have been rather crazy, I have busy with dr appointments and tests. I am beginning to feel like a guinny pig. Last night was spent in a sleep lab, tomarrow I get to
learn about tilt tables. all this to figure out why I pass out for no apparent reason.
but, the weekend is beginning to look up! Maybe, just maybe i will have something new
on my design wall on Monday...or at least show some progress on whats already up! IF I am thru with the tilt table in time I will be going to the retreat tomarrow, if not early Fri
morning, I am really looking forward to going!

design wall monday... April 19, 2010

Oh well, as usual I am working on more than one thing at once...The scrappy bagello has been
hanging around for more than a couple of years. I started cutting strips long ago, and am now
slicing panels for each row and assembling them into a quilt. I am also making 3 sizes of
9 patches as ender leaders that will eventually
be 3 different projects. the pick and choose blocks...I only have 4 more to make and then I start the sashing. this has been a block a week
project that I am way behind on, Irene is about
ready to quilt hers. the crossing Ohio is also a block a week thingie I have block 5 to do this week. Ofcoarse, these are helping with scrap
management!
as ever, A
