Just stopping in for a minute!

Allie did great with her surgery yesterday....she didn't even have to take a pain pill afterwards. The hardest part was getting her IV in (10 sticks...ouch)and that was a little dramatic, not for Allie though just the nurses and doctor.

Here are my 3 newest NI blocks....

 

 

 

That second block really didn't have much rhythm or reason to it so I just did it and it looks okay. The third block pictured was a bit tricky and I should have hand pieced it, but it will be fine.

I'm in my sewing room today and off the computer. All of the wonderful things on your blogs are so tempting to me and keep me on the computer for far too long...lol I enjoy and get inspiration for everyone though.

Have a great Saturday!

Your red & white blocks remind me so much of Valentine's Day. You are doing a super good job.
There is always a problem getting an IV into me, too. Ouch!

First - I am so happy about Allie.

Next - I just love that checked material in the first block - I wouldn't have thought to use that and it is wonderful.

Next - how many more blocks do you have to go on this project? It is going to be so fabulous!

Your blocks are beautiful! I am just drawn to red & white. :-) You are going to have a gorgeous quilt! 10 sticks!? :-o I'd call that pretty 'traumatic'! I'm glad she is doing so well. Happy stitching!

Glad your daughter is OK, sounds a bit gruelling. Love your NI blocks - I think the red/white version will be stunning.
