I remember every time my grandma took me to my ortho appt we always stopped at the bakery before my teeth started to hurt.

It looks so nice! Your mom looks smitten. Great job on the quilting and the setting worked great for your blocks.

Everyone has such great news! Babies coming and what a nice gift for Mom, she will cherish that quilt! Still a little slow motion here but I have been doing a little sewing so here are some more blocks that I have done. Still have a few to go but I'll get there 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. [ATTACH=CONFIG]599613[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]599614[/ATTACH]

MJP - the quilt turned out terrific - and mom seems to enjoy it - I am sure she will be checking each square and just touching each FMQ pattern

Good to see you relaxing after treatments Jaba. Blocks are nice.

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?

I have been going through my stash. I have 2 "stashes" the quilting stash and the prequilting. The prequilting stash is mostly all kinds of clothing fabric I found at great prices over the years. I have not sewn clothes for many years and the few times I have tried over the years I have not much enjoyed it, seems to be a chore, and I have gotten so big things really don't fit well and I am so short patterns have to be altered so much it is just easier to quilt. 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.

MJP- Your quilt is beautiful and your Mom even more so! Love the picture of you and Darcy. How fun!

Jaba- So good to hear from you. Your blocks are so pretty. I know you're looking forward to the radiation treatments being over. Just take everything slow and easy and build your strength back. Those grands are waiting for you!

QuilterMomma- When it rains, it seems to pour. One day at a time. Glad your DH is mending well. Prayers for you and him that all goods well.
