D.Henson, fun Halloween blocks. Love the spiderweb and jack o lantern fabrics.

Mona, great barn quilt! Where did you take your class? And is that a piece of painted or sealed plywood?

Kassaundra, congrats on your new skirt. I’m not much good at apparel so I’ll take vicarious enjoyment from your success!

I was thinking about getting rid of it all. But I got to thinking, I need skirts since none of my clothes fit anymore. I decided to make a pattern for a wrap skirt. A little wider then an A line but not a full circle. Thought about it and figured a reversible would be great, 2 skirts in one and no exposed seams. I made my first one this week, and the pattern works well (it needs a little tweeking but not much). I even think I can combine this pattern into some quilting. The skirt I just made had a denim weight fabric on one side so a little bulky. But I am excited about the possibilities.
QM, happy to hear you found a selection of fabrics for the boom. I’ll look forward to seeing them. And good news about hubby, particularly the better attitude - woo hoo. Am sorry about the medical and dental problems. Hopefully they will be resolved and you’ll be good as new soon.

Beautiful quilt, and nice gifting.
Thanks everyone for your well wishes. Hubby getting better and has an appointment Friday for his hyennal hernia. We shall see what they will do there. He came home from being out of town last Friday and a total different attitude. Was a nice relief.
Now my bad news, have some bleeding fizzures to be taken care of, when to foot doctor and have to go thru surgery again, then $4,500 for teeth. Live is just the most wonderful it could ever be.
The best part, I went shopping for fabrics for blocks this am and have something for everyone of the blocks. Now what are they odds?
Thanks for the pix of the lovely blocks you made. Thrilled you’re down to 7 more treatments. Maybe after that you’ll be done. Fingers and toes are crossed for you. hugs.

So far so good on the radiation treatments again, I have 7 more to go and then they are done. Not sure what happens after that but I should find out next week.
