Two More Quilts

Well after my exciting early May (ha ha), I thought I would get back to some of my hobbies. At the quilt store, things started piling up so I took home four samples to get back to the store. Here are two of them: Wildlife Journey and Pansy Contradance. These were the easy ones and I have two more difficult ones to do. Onwards......

Flowers!!!!

Hi everyone: Well I've had a very difficult week but it has ended well. My mother went in for elective surgery to remove a "thingy" on her lung and it turned out to be cancerous. My sister Nili and I flew up on Friday night and after 8 hours of surgery (it was supposed to be only 2 hours), my mom was transfered to ICU. The surgeons also removed the top lobe of her right lung and several lymph nodes. We were waiting for several days to get the results of the biopsies and it was thankfully negative so the cancer had not spread. We spend hours at the hospital getting her to eat, bathing her and helping my father along; and finally I got to come home. My wonderful friend Sue dropped off these lovely flowers and during the week my orchid bloomed as well. Spring is considered the "renewal of life" and it has indeed proved to be so.
