This time, I am concentrating on my 2 1/2 strip drawer. I faithfully cut my leftovers and put them into respective sized drawers...but this particular drawer was getting pretty full! So I decided to make some bright, funky churn dash blocks. I have seen these paired with log cabin blocks, and it makes a gorgeous quilt!!
The drawer looks much better now, LOL!!

***********************************Nurse's notes***************************
The patient survived a 13 hour surgery. But...his kidneys did not. Poor fellow had to be started on dialysis...and the depression is about doing him in. Poor guy!! I just gave him a big hug this morning...he says he does not want to be dependent on the dialysis machine. He wants to travel, and go out with his friends...and just be independent.
He felt some better, however, after a sweet visit from his wife, a cup of yummy coffee and the paper. Just ordinary things, but it made him feel more in control...just doing every day things.
The lesson?? Do it now, folks. Whatever it is you dream of...do it now!!! Later...may never come. So live right now, in this moment!!!

Have a great day, all!!

AMEN, Julie! I can attest to that! Had way more things planned to do with DH, places to go, things to see. He was always up for anything I wanted to do. Next month will be 3 years and I still miss him something awful. No one to just jump in the car and go with. :-(
I have three quilts to bind this month!
You are setting a good example for the rest of us to dig out the forgotten projects and get them finished!
Always hard to face the changes in health that life hands us. Life can still be good, even when our dreams have to be revamped. : )
an't wait for the mystery quilt to begin. I love the sneaky pic of it
I am behind on my Temecula Summer Project but you caught me again with the Turning Twenty Mystery.........
Looking forward to Monday when I can start yet another project...........
The churn dashes scraps are great fun; you go girl!! Although I missed the mark for a binding finish for June, I am starting to cut the binding for my July entry. Your binding blitz is a fabulous linky party!
I have never used a cookie sheet that way, but I will now! ;-)
Yes, M'am life can be very short and NOW is always the best time to act. In the whole world, you are the only person who can use your abilities, so go for it!! Have a great day Julie. Stay safe. ;^)
My BIL recently came to the same conclusion after a health scare. He is a workaholic, but I'm sure that is going to change when he gets back to his routine. Have you ever read the book The Precious Present? It's a quick read but has a powerful message. I recommend it.
I have several old 'lunch trays' that I use. Got them at a thrift store (of course).
The "just do it now" lesson is resonating with me right now. I've had lots of cancer diagnoses and death amongst friends lately. :( It has made me stop and think of all I still want to get done in my life and has worked as a reminder to "just do it now". We are not promised a "tomorrow".
