*****************Nurse's Notes****************Warning!! Sad and glad stuff both ahead!!!!! Not about quilting!!**********************************
In our hospital, we had two prominent people fall ill a day apart from each other. From the same department in the same university. What a horrible loss for that department, and for our community! I was one of the nurses taking care of these people. What an amazing thing to see provosts, university presidents, PH D's by the dozens and students by the hundreds all coming to the hospital to honor these people. I think maybe a university is its own little city, kind of like a hospital, with a unique family-like hierarchy. Such love rolled out of these learned people; it was amazing and wonderful and affirming to see. In the face of such loss, there is so much good too...I love to find it!! to witness it...
The news has so much negative stuff in it, but there is so much good too in this world amongst the loss...

Love your string quilt! So bright and fun with the cornerstones esp.
OH my goodness...how can I love each quilt that you make MORE than the one I loved before??!?! This is amazing!
Enjoyed hearing about the blessings you enjoyed watching a community appreciate those who are sick.
It renews hope for us all!
YOur string quilt is so amazing.....love the round 4 patches....what a cute idea.
Yes meeting interesting people from all walks of life is the what I miss about nursing. Every person has a story and I use to love to listen to them all.
Happy Sewing
You have found the best of all therapies to piece things back together, in such a vibrant and cheerful way, when the outside world is falling apart and out of our control. Thanks for this heart-warming perspective. That pie looks delicious too! :)
Your string quilt is stunning. Love the corner stones.
Blessings to you and your patients who are lucky to have you.
Your scrappy string quilts are always such an inspiration for me. This one is no exception.
I love this string quilt with the flying geese and the circles. So much color! Great job
You have a talent of seeing potential and goodness in the smallest of scraps and in the clutches of death - that is what makes you such a special nurse and your quilts so very beautiful. Keep sewing these lovelies and caring for those in your charge - you certainly make a difference.
As usual, yum, yum & YUM!!! That goes for the pie too!
Loving that geese sashing :)
Super quilt!!! Sashing is really superb and the cornerstones are fetching. Love that you did that. Clever you!!!!
Your string quilt is wonderful. The flying geese are a delightful contrast to the strings and the corner stones are a terrific idea. Both pie and quilt are yummy!
I can't believe you are doing another string quilt and it looks just as fabulous!! maybe I can request a little tut on how you do it only cause it keeps your interest and I have sooooo many scarps that I could do it too..
My word .... your new string quilt will be stunning!
Absolutely adore your string quilt with the flying geese! It's now on my list of must make quilts!
Also appreciate that you see good in everything. What a blessing to have a nurse like you caring for people!
Loving that string quilt! My father in law had bypass surgery last fall. He's a retired physics prof. Almost everyone that he used to work with came by during the surgery to support my mother in law. I knew most of these people from when we used to live in the same town, and I took classes from some, too. Special people create special bonds.
