Progress is happening!

Hello!!  I have been sewing.... above is my start of a purple quilt for my DIL.  I was going with blue...but discovered that she selects everything purple...about face to purple!!  I am loving this beginning!

This little quilt top was given to me at the quilt guild.  I bordered it, and pin basted it for hand quilting.  Baptist fans, anyone??

I did make a few more blocks on what I call my modern quilt.  These blocks are so fast...I need to put the pedal to the metal and get this one done already.

This month is for orange, at Angela's blog.  I looked in my orange scrappy bucket and cut some pieces.  This little orange quilt will get a fun children's fabric border and there you go!!  ORANGE!!

I enjoyed making a few purple blocks.  

 I am also helping Lucky, my kitty with this quilt.  He does not necessarily take my recommendations.  hmmmm.

Have a beautiful day, each of you!!

***********************Nurse's notes****************************

I am ICU full time now.  I do some education, precepting and patient care.  I love the intellectual stimulation from the kids who work there.  What sweethearts they are!!  SMART folks, too.  I think I am the oldest floor nurse there, or maybe second to oldest.  It feels good to help start lines, NG's, resuscitations....to be the subject matter expert at times.  

I wish I could make a bigger impact about helping people stay healthy instead of trying to save lives in ICU.  I have even pondered a further degree in wellness!! It just seems to me that we are far too indulgent with ourselves here...smoking, drinking, eating...too much is...too much!!  And not enough exercise.  With the resulting horrible effects.  I believe that other countries do better.  I hope our dietary stuff improves here.  I do try and gently educate the folks who are reachable.

I am so sorry that blogger does not allow me to comment...to receive comments on my blog to Email.  Have any of you changed to a different blog company?? Would you please share with me what you did?
