Above is a hexagon, for English paper piecing. My kitten Lucky has discovered them, and decided that they are great fun to bat around the house, finally batting them to never never land under the couch. I found 9 of them under the couch!!! I watched him go open the closet, open the little drawer, choose his hexagon, pick it out with his teeth....and run!! Little stinker!! He is so playful, and so much fun to watch...and deadly smart!! He can have a couple...but I am using those, and need them, and please see below to see my hexie project.<div><br /></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbHhku76ZYF5FGroBJcaHssnJB5Fr3dnOVU_8mXJDvxbeO-Hanw7gHVCh5MyQF5F5VSQ24S8K4DcakusrlVj5vSYS-e9kvhQSHpkPkI1f96-TSWV61nxwlRyNCWqYDsNEeWfhAvX71d1muKaKjjoBh7PT9Y9twlNJ3y_ZDhzPIRzzwCya0UxFeCRXtLQc/s1258/IMG_4850.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1258" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbHhku76ZYF5FGroBJcaHssnJB5Fr3dnOVU_8mXJDvxbeO-Hanw7gHVCh5MyQF5F5VSQ24S8K4DcakusrlVj5vSYS-e9kvhQSHpkPkI1f96-TSWV61nxwlRyNCWqYDsNEeWfhAvX71d1muKaKjjoBh7PT9Y9twlNJ3y_ZDhzPIRzzwCya0UxFeCRXtLQc/s320/IMG_4850.jpeg" width="275" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>I am just delighted to finish this plaid quilt!!

So, I made the "blue" version above. What a lovely thing it is for me to work with soft plaids! Plaids are soft, and I do not care of the plaids are a bit wonky, or soft. It drives some people batty, but I like the wonkiness of it.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3cPlLADMeFOmyaGThnZKRqgc9WvUj56VcOGTEctFJ5jkPh_G7cb6B-rHEYnMuKPxX3yWxlHqCMYuJyeC9E2zHEBfVB3ToIfQ7JsCrD_EDjtHXOuGsVlN_9V20N_3J813n3fp14C8W5cWLHCqamRxZhNlaXIC0snxAphuamzXEODFfzzhdXEVNeMvAwmA/s4032/IMG_4852.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3cPlLADMeFOmyaGThnZKRqgc9WvUj56VcOGTEctFJ5jkPh_G7cb6B-rHEYnMuKPxX3yWxlHqCMYuJyeC9E2zHEBfVB3ToIfQ7JsCrD_EDjtHXOuGsVlN_9V20N_3J813n3fp14C8W5cWLHCqamRxZhNlaXIC0snxAphuamzXEODFfzzhdXEVNeMvAwmA/s320/IMG_4852.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>I have joined in Angela's so scrappy rainbow quilt along. I am making a few hexie flowers each month; also bowties and simple blocks. Above are the February red flowers. She is a cool chick, a teacher, and just so much fun. She is designing blocks for each month, in the prescribed color of the month.

Seems like she needs this. I will hurry up on the binding and get it to her.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>************************Nurse's notes***************************</div><div><br /></div><div>I have worked oncology, CVICU, hospice, Orthopedics, and ER lately!! Wow!! I loved the ICU stuff the very best, and oncology the least. It is hard to watch the suffering through chemo and radiation and pain on oncology, and hurts my heart. I do my very best to ease their suffering and love on them. ER...I was just lost, frankly, and did not get orientation at all...just 5 charts thrown at me, and computer assigned. I did not even know where the med room was!! I did my best, but wow....dangerous. Glad all my patients were ok. Equally glad for my experience and the fact that I don't ruffle easily!!</div><div><br /></div><div>*****************************************************************</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I have been studying the 1940's, from last year. WW2. Wow!! Doolittle's raid...every single person united to a common cause. I mean I remember my momma talking about victory gardens...saving things to recycle (metal)...the ration cards, because all resources were going to the war effort. I loved the common sense of a common goal. The bravery of soldiers, and their wives going to work in the factories...thank Rosie Riveter. Grandparents stepping up to take care of children while young mothers worked in the factories. Retooling of factories to make war machines, instead of cars and washing machines. I think of those military nurses, working around the clock, saving as many wounded as they could...the doctors in raw mud floored tents, doing surgeries. </div><div><br /></div><div>We have it so easy, honestly. I am so grateful for every convenience I enjoy...a washer and dryer...clean sheets...the ability to work and be free to make my own way in life. </div><div><br /></div><div>I think of my daddy over fighting in this terrible conflict. He had a cabinet with his uniform, gun and bayonet, and his picture in his uniform. I thought he was the most beautiful man I had ever seen.</div><div><br /></div><div>I grew up with parents almost 50 when they had me...kind of like being brought up by grandparents. Wise and self-reliant. Hard workers and taught me this trait. I often thought if I did not have a talent, I did have a great work ethic. They were devout and with a great sense of national pride. I remember my daddy selling poppies for the Veterans of Foreign Wars. I remember eating nothing we did not grow ourselves or hunt for ourselves. I had no idea how poor we were!! Going and picking wild garlic, asparagus, mushrooms for dinners. Mom made all our clothes, and I got my first pair of jeans by saving up money from working at Sonic drive in. I still have those jeans...almost white from washing and wear, with the knees torn out!! But I save them, a reminder of how lucky and blessed I am today.</div><div><br /></div><div>**********************************************************************</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for hanging in with me through this long post!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I hope each of you is having an amazing, blessed day!!<br /> <p></p></div>julieQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00509047751868460895noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-34770339437053484142024-03-03T17:34:00.003-06:002024-03-03T17:34:53.763-06:00Miniature piecing!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieIkub042xMboTTwCar6J7Ut_RDXw2z8h9DzjpUErhWimzkSpiBOsfgvKtAHJCCeP9V3N9lhelDTVpUUPyYHSYDSe3G7DLFg7y7lp4-maGCNp4rnhZWRLkppNktd4kq1uRJDeUVRnYeXBxZUKRxsE6-zh0QSXBa2yLLdIM5nfDQxuBzK3YFO3_Fa-bC1s/s4032/IMG_4728.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieIkub042xMboTTwCar6J7Ut_RDXw2z8h9DzjpUErhWimzkSpiBOsfgvKtAHJCCeP9V3N9lhelDTVpUUPyYHSYDSe3G7DLFg7y7lp4-maGCNp4rnhZWRLkppNktd4kq1uRJDeUVRnYeXBxZUKRxsE6-zh0QSXBa2yLLdIM5nfDQxuBzK3YFO3_Fa-bC1s/s320/IMG_4728.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Hello!!

A dear friend, our Angie, is planning a Christmas themed quilt. Did I perhaps have some Christmas fabrics to share? Why, I sure do!! You know I save all scraps, including these. On the way to you now, Angie! This is the best part of my idea, Circle of Friends. If you need something...ask. If I need something, I will. Between us, we can use our stashes and enjoy our friends, too!

Of course, my main quilting mission at this time every year is Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt. Annie, Cheryl, Kathy are some of the quilters I know are working on this quilt...are you working on this quilt as well? I am on track to finish strong! Each bin is a clue. These are saline syringe cartons from the hospital, which are thrown away each day. Why not recycle them? I have yet to finish the fifth clue, but I do have my fabric at the ready. Just need that ever-elusive thing...time! Lucky the kitty is helping with inspection.

Somewhere in the neighborhood. I went running, total panic mode, trying to find what child was screaming, because I thought it was a little human child. Instead, I found this tiny kitten. Maybe 3 weeks old, I am guessing? It was backed up in the corner by the drainpipe, in my neighbor's driveway, and a hawk was after it. Hense the screaming!!! I scared away the hawk (what hawk would not be afraid of a wild banshee hollering and running at it?) The kitty escaped with no talons through the abdomen, which would have been a death sentence due to peritonitis, but his eye was pecked narrowly escaping actually hitting the eye, and also his left front leg is completely flaccid. I scooped him and up ran him back to the house, him meowing as hard as he could!<p></p><p><br /></p><p>Took him to the vet...the eye will be totally fine. The leg...maybe not. It is severely injured from the shoulder, so the vet put him on steroids for pain and for swelling, and the baby is now in our home and? in our hearts. We shall see if the baby can heal with that leg...the hawk obviously had it by the leg. He eats like a trucker and meows for anything he wants, and just wants love and to purr with the loudest little voice, sleeping under my hair on my chest. No, my chest is not hairy, but I have kind of long hair and that is just the best nest for this baby, according to him. So that is my drama for the week!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhLnApxQj73zayX0cCcVjNkpR22oh7rwc88NeQchAfn1wYi1lcFZqXHEwQAaVFxNTlwi64VYSbJa3IQh5gF4xNZUz2_54k2vqdw87aw3QzGppJq0MC_lEwvH2YHP50YiOtXHjL-MCp3lJEwgxCLPnHthzAZ4kEoc8QwtcveFEC7Nq9VaOEZN9cAuhMjjpQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhLnApxQj73zayX0cCcVjNkpR22oh7rwc88NeQchAfn1wYi1lcFZqXHEwQAaVFxNTlwi64VYSbJa3IQh5gF4xNZUz2_54k2vqdw87aw3QzGppJq0MC_lEwvH2YHP50YiOtXHjL-MCp3lJEwgxCLPnHthzAZ4kEoc8QwtcveFEC7Nq9VaOEZN9cAuhMjjpQ" width="320" /></a></div>Remember this leader and ender from Bonnie Hunter about a decade ago?

She is tough, and that is no joke. A few weeks out from this, she had another heart attack, and she really did not realize it...and neither did her local doctors. She just knew she felt awful. One of her bypass grafts shut down, and also...she has developed a hole in-between the left and right ventricles of her heart. Now this particular problem is almost always fatal, immediately, for the adult person experiencing it, according to her cardiologist. BUT ANGIE SURVIVED IT!!!!!!!!!! Now? She is going to a world class, premier heart surgery center...to have her heart fixed again. This means probably another open heart surgery for her. She is a tiny thing...and I am asking for your support and prayers for her, please, please, please. Angie rocks it...tough as they come...but this is a hard and long road!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you!!!!! I really appreciate you. Thank you!!

I can sew blocks together!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBzzW_OHnEvVlaw0w0jOIuqIYdh55wJM7sYYlzoD1B0qALQJ7G4SM7QryXYXLU5BlNycZakANSDnt_ed4NF3UYkVRTg-K0SBxRT-fJd5jeTcgDcEd5yWJP8M3Y2MPyWG-hQH4ippZoxQzpDZaoq4kRPTA5jlZfTFXHGxKd_eCbfxqV7kcY_uJ23j2K3Yw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBzzW_OHnEvVlaw0w0jOIuqIYdh55wJM7sYYlzoD1B0qALQJ7G4SM7QryXYXLU5BlNycZakANSDnt_ed4NF3UYkVRTg-K0SBxRT-fJd5jeTcgDcEd5yWJP8M3Y2MPyWG-hQH4ippZoxQzpDZaoq4kRPTA5jlZfTFXHGxKd_eCbfxqV7kcY_uJ23j2K3Yw" width="320" /></a></div><br />I found this little floral quilt, wool applique and plaid fabrics for the border.
