Please remember what your priorities are. DH and yourself first! If you have to you can give your inlaws a card letting them know that this is what you are doing, but because of lifes interuptions things have had to be pushed back - but its on its way. I'm sure they'll understand!! :-D

That blood pressure is scary high. I am so glad that he went in when he did. You both will be in my prayers. Best wishes with your quilt and if you have any questions, you know where to come!

The same as others, I am glad to hear that your husband is doing better. That is high blood pressure!

I read one of the other replies that suggested to give them a card if necessary which is an excellent idea. What you might also do is to include a picture of the quilt in progress to let them know what they will be getting.

Make sure you have your priorities straight. You and DH are your first concerns. Don't rush your project....you don't need the stress (nor DH) and I'm sure they will understand.

You might want to gently remind the other family members that you don't know how much time you will have to devote to the quilt and that you need their help getting all material to you as soon as possible. Good luck.

I, too, am praying for health of both of you, family members getting you material, guidance and wisdom for quilt, finishing quickly, and doing an outstanding job!

Seinding prayers and help to get the quilt done. If for some reason you can;t, make a sketch of it and put it in a really nice card with a "W.I.P" on it (work in progress). They will understand!
