It is all Lisa's fault! I don't know her...she doesn't know me...but she got me hooked into another quilt!! Primitive Gatherings is having a summer block of the week. The applique is wool, and the nine-patches are reproduction leftovers from their shop. Perfect! I love the scraps!! The wool is great fun to work with, a blast in fact. I just have a barely start...and am having just so much fun! This is a play off an old quilt made by Florence Peto...one I have admired forever. I love those old masterpieces!

*******************Nurse's Notes**************************
Hey, I have recently had a online friend question whether I should talk on line about my patients, and I really appreciate her concern and candor. I never, ever mention a name, except with written permission, (once) and always change facts and identifying info. I talked to an attorney about this...I wanted to make sure I was OK mentioning my work...and have gotten the green light. Keep in mind, this is my life, but I will not disclose identifying information, and some facts will be changed so the people cannot ever be identified, to protect them, and me too.
That being said...
I had the sweetest little boy today as a patient. He was 40 years old...and a boy of about 5. Just darling, sweet, and very, very sick. Cerebral palsy is a cruel disease...devastating in mind and body too. Despite overwhelming challenges, he was such a doll...and I would love your prayers for him! You know, staying a child is not all bad...his family loves him dearly, and he has faith and good humor and grace to shame us all!!!

Thank you so much to everyone who said such kind words to us about the death of our sweet doggie...it means more than I can express. Thank you!!
Have a wonderful day!!
