HI Y'all!! I am just so ticked with these little tiny quilt blocks...you can still catch up and make this darling quilt too! See Lori's blog Humble quilts

Here is my first Birdie block from
Little Miss Shabby...please see her!! For some reason, my pattern printed out a lot larger than the block that was supposed to be 8.5 inches, so I just made it larger...I am going to use all my polka dots for the edgings on each block. Fun!

I just made these out of the scrap bins...1.5 inch and 2.5 inch bins. I don't have any idea what I will do with them....
So, if I do all the BOM's I want to do, I cannot eat, sleep or work!! Sigh...so I will just do what I can and enjoy seeing the rest!!!
************************Nurse's notes****************
The hyperthyroid patient:
She (me) has had all the testing, scanning, ultra sounding done...and had my big reveal doctor's appointment today...I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease. I learned that it is associated with other autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus. So, now I just need to decide how to treat it, with thyroid killing drugs, radiation, or surgery. I am not a big fan of any of these options....but will consider each carefully and prayerfully and make a decision this weekend and go for it!
Thanks for letting me share...since this is my diary of sorts, this helps with the catharsis part of dealing with all this...
Have a super week!!
