    She'll love it

      Dawn, I love your attitude when faced with something scary and painful. I hope you recuperate quickly. I love your bird. It is beautiful. I will keep praying for you and DH to recover quickly and stay healthy.
      I also have a suspicious area above the knee that I will be mentioning to the doctor when I see him. Thanks for the reminder not to take such things lightly.

        Oh Dawn, I just love your bird! A hummer? I love them but rarely do they stop for us to see. Last week I was taking pix of the hydrangea and heard such a LOUD buzz. I froze. I knew it couldn't be a bee making that much noise. I turned my head an inch and a hummingbird was sitting on a branch! I don't know if I've ever seen one sit.

        It was the darkest green with shiny emerald and a bright orange beak. I've just held the image in my mind. So beautiful!

        Meanwhile, I like seeing your quilt more!

        I'm on day one of having a tooth pulled so slowly trying to get some breakfast. Night was broken up by having to eat and wait for another pain pill. Nothing like what you had.

        My husband isn't a good nurse. I think part of my resting today might be piecing some blocks.

        I think a photo of my barn quilt is my big picture on my page. This is from my MIL and just 3 feet square. She let me pick the block and colors. Ohio Star because that is my home state. I'd really like 8' x 8' for the side of one of our sheds that could been seen from the highway. MIL was a bit aghast that I put this on the house. It gives my plain house some punch. Friends suggested there and on point.

        There are make your own groups going on here. The ladies enjoy the class. They do 2 foot ones.

              Dawn your work is beautiful - I'm praying for you and your husband, warm wishes to you both Pam (in Scotland)

                Dorothy your Alice quilt is wonderful. Pun intended! she's a lucky baby.

                Dawn glad you are feeling better. Not much fun but it's nice to be on this side of it all. I hope your husband is doing well. Hugs will make each of you feel better. Inside and out. Your bird quilt is amazing. I'd love to see it.

                She-quilts, I hope your mouth feels better. Sewing some blocks is the perfect medicine. I'm going to check out your barn block. It's the same size as mine.

                I'm not sewing much. Right now I am taking care of my granddaughter while her parents have an anniversary get away. It's loads of fun. Though I know why young people have babies!

                Good to see you all back at the "retreat". I missed you.

                      Dawn,
                      I really like your bird block. It is beautiful.
                      May the Great Physician heal you and your husband.

                        Thank you all for your prayers! Wednesday was a really long day for us! DH's scheduled out-patient surgery was for 2:00 PM, but he didn't get wheeled into surgery until around 6:30 PM!!! Surgery was about an hour, then there was a additive to the body that had to remain for two hours before being flushed out. Kept him slightly sedated for that process. Anyway, they decided to keep him overnight, since it was getting so late. I picked him up around noon yesterday. He is in pain, and he is uncomfortable. And, of course, with all of the pain meds, there is another problem. Won't go into detail on that one. :sick: We're hanging in there. Thanks again!

                        Dorothy, your Alice quilt looks like a fun one for you. I forgot to mention in my last post, that whenever you head up to Kalispell this summer, give me a call (did I give you my number?) and we could meet.

                        Yes, Joyce, it is a hummingbird. It is a fire throated hummer, found only in Costa Rica, supposedly. There are so many different colors on them. They are beautiful!

                              [hide]I really enjoy seeing everyone's projects. I have been working on a quilt for our daughter for her wedding. It is only three weeks away now (June 25) and I have almost finished the quilt ...just have to attach the label.

                              Dawn...I hope you and your husband are gaining health daily. What a difficult time for you both to be under the weather.

                              Beautiful barn quilt. If we lived in the country I would sure try to make one.

                              I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. We are enjoying sunshine and no frost warnings for the last two days so I got adventurous and put out my container plants.
