I finished putting my strip lap quilt together, then I quilted it. Grrr. It didn't want to play nicely either, but I got er done. Got to finish the binding tonite if possible. running out of weekend though. I also made an ipad bag, something I have been wanting to do for months. I made up my own pattern on a whim,stitched it, I am happy with it.

I spent the day at the hospital with my husband. Quilting will be for another day.

I went to the Glendale Quilt Show in Burbank, CA. I went with a "quilty" friend then took her out to lunch for her birthday. We loved the show & each spent some $$. I am in the process of moving- selling a house, buying a house, etc, so don't have any projects going at the moment. It was nice to see all of the great quilts & check out the vendors.

Christine-

Aww, I'm sorry to hear he's not doing well. Hope he's home soon!

Thanks, Christine. He was taken to the hospital last Tuesday with "massive acute pancreatitis". He is very slowly showing improvement but will be in the hospital all this week at least. Last Wednesday, our eldest daughter delivered our first grand baby by c section! So I was visiting hospital in our town for her and then driving south to another city to be with my husband! Crazy! But now baby, mama and daddy are settled in at out house.

To give you an update on my husband: Day 11 of hospital day looked like he would be coming home. Morning of Day 12 he went for an ultrasound to see how the pancreas was. While he was having that, he felt a pain in his stomach. It continued to get worse. After all day of excruciating pain and lots of dr. guessing, he was taken for a CT scan which showed that he had doudonal ulcer which perforated. So he was rushed in for emergency surgery. We are on day 16 and he is improving slowly. He still cannot have anything by mouth, so he rinses and sucks it out of his mouth a lot. I don't know how long he will be in the hospital. He will probably go to rehab before he comes home and it will most likely be over a month before he goes back to work.

So, so sorry about your hisband. Had the same thing, and it can have a long healing process.

Hope all is well and you are back to quilting soon. It's a great stress reliever.

For Quilt day I worked on 9-patches I am swapping with my LA'er for quilting time. So far I am up to $100. and no end in sight. Yes, I am getting tired, but I have a lot of tops to quilt.
