Mystery quilt and more



Hi to everyone!!!  This is month is the month for using blue scraps, in Rainbow quilts.  I have been using a few of mine.  Great fun!


This quilt came back from Paula, my dear friend.  She does such an amazing job on her longarm!!  I just adore this quilt.  She gave me a hand cut layer cake and challenged me to make something.  So I did!




These blocks were on the quilt guild table, freely given.  18 of these...I need to make two more.  The kitty above is Bitty Blackie.  This cat was outside, but freezing in our sub 15 temps.  We let him in, and now he is back outside, because it is 80 degrees today!  He is a feral cat.  He is just a purring machine, and loves to cuddle.  I do not know where he came from, but I ensure he is fed and watered and petted regularly.




Aren't these pretty blocks?




My mystery quilt is oh so close to being completed.  Hurrah!








I had some iris buds, but they were frozen last week.  I guess they bloomed a bit too early.

We have some long-term patients in ICU.  One young man in his 30's was pulled over in his car, trying to help a lady change a tire, when he was run over by a big truck.   His leg was destroyed, and he had to have a horrid high amputation.  His kidney and intestines were destroyed...dialysis and colostomy bags.  and yet?  He is a DARLING!!!  Big smiles for me...blowing kisses...hugs too.  He is very, very ill and may not make it from the hospital but just is so nice.  What an inspiring young man. I love taking care of him!!!  Thes folks just touch my heart.  


We lost a few of our regular patients lately...flu and RSV and Covid are rampant.

Those orphan blocks are beauties! Love your present blocks that you are making. I sewed that quilt pattern last year and enjoyed the journey. I am so happy to read of your kindness to little feral cat. Take Care, J

Your quilty projects are beautiful and cheering! My heart goes out to your young one in the ICU. What a brave and dear soul! Thank you for caring for him and for the sweet kitty too.

Oh, Julie, I admire your compassion and fortitude to care for patients like this young man..........Your quilting projects are wonderful. Great save for the farmer's daughter blocks. And the elongated 9-patch gives me ideas.....

I love seeing what you're working on. And hearing how things are going at work. Please tell that young man that he's a hero in every sense of the word.
