Next!

Good Tuesday, everyone!!  I am off work today...they called...but I didn't answer.  After all, a gal must have some time to catch up on the the house and laundry, LOL!!

I am still practicing my word..FOCUS!!  I have had this quilt cut out for nearly a year, and this quilt's time is now!  I pieced all the blocks...but just wait!  This is not the final layout!  I have something different in mind for this simple log cabin quilt.  Involving lots of extra piecing...fun, isn't it?  I am trying to use all my strings and scraps.


*************************Nurse's Notes*****************************


The lady is still there at the hospital.  The one from last post, the one who just does not do anything.  I feel so bad for her!  Still at the hospital, after over two weeks!!  I pray for her, but I think she is headed for the nursing home.  So sad!!

We had three big heart surgeries yesterday, with different surgeons...it is amazing how differently the recoveries are.  It was fun to be busy, busy, busy!!  Busy enough for them to call me in for overtime...yahoo!!


*****************************************************************


Have a great day, all!!

I've not done a log cabin quilt yet!
Good for you not answering the pone, you don't want burn out!

KaHolly said...

Just like all your other quilts, this one's a beaut! Can't wait to see how you decide to lay it out.

Kim said...

Oh lovely log cabin. Nice to have a day off to sew and catch your breath...maybe she'll be gone when you get back next time. You can't help those who do not want to be helped. Hard lesson for us nurses to learn huh?

Happy Sewing

Can't wait to see what you have in mind...something creative I am sure!

It sounds strange about the lady patient.....have you come across this before? Someone really stole her mojo!

Can't wait to see the twist you are going to put on the log cabin blocks.

Fine Finish. Fruitful Focus.

I have a LC top waiting to be quilted, I loved making it. I really enjoy your nurses notes, you are so right, a positive outlook and a desire to live and do things is 90% of the battle

Love that barn raising setting, Julie! Looking terrific so far :).
Some people can't help themselves get better--that IS sad

The Quilted Finish said...

Love your Log Cabin!! You are tempting me to make one for myself!!
Can't wait to see the finished setting.

Lois Arnold said...

I adore your log cabin. You've inspired me to work on just 1 UFO while I'm machine quilting the current quilt. The UFO is hand pieced, so I work on it at night. Oh, yeah, I gave you credit on my blog for inspiring me to focus!

Mrs. Goodneedle said...

Focus is my daily mission... your LC quilt is going to be gorgeous, good for you, sticking to your plan!! :)
