I finished the dozen Christmas pillowcases for our church project, made with donated fabric. They still need pressing and then I can deliver them.
I worked on the ditch quilting on this piece. I finished all of the blue and purple areas and started the green. This is a small piece, almost too small for a baby quilt, or at least an odd shape for one.
The gold mound spirea bushes are starting to change color. Their blooms are dried and delicate.
I'm undergoing 2 tests this evening. I have been healthy all my life and have never had to have these tests before. I know others have undergone them multiple times. It's always a little scary the first time.
I woke up thinking about this being the day you were to have these tests. I pray all goes well.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and praying as I type! Wishing you all the best for the tests and the results!
ReplyDeleteI, too, am praying that all goes well for you!
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers today...I hope everything goes well! I have been feeling punky for a few days, and have not been doing much blog-reading...look how productive YOU have been! (Beautiful QOV project and the pillowcases look amazing!)
ReplyDeleteIn stitches,

I've had so many tests I've kind of gotten used to it. The lead up to any of them is often the worst. I will be sending my good thoughts!
ReplyDeleteHolly is right sometimes the lead up and the anxiety created by having to have the tests are more stressful than the tests themselves.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that all well be well. It is always better just to be able to find out what is wrong and then you can face it head on and deal with it.
I can only imagine how difficult if has been for you these past several days; I am amazed that you have been as busy and productive as ever.
ReplyDeleteI hope the tests tonight go well and that you are able to get some good news. I'm not religious, but I am sending warm, optimistic thoughts your way.
Thinking of you as well, Wanda. Thinking positive!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on your tests. I am going to the pain doctor today hopefully for relief in my back.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, Wanda, as you anticipate those tests. And will be thinking of you afterwards as you wait and wait for the outcome.
ReplyDeleteWanda, Always read your blog, have never left a message. Just want to know that I am praying for you and all the tests you have taken and have yet to take. Praying for great results and continued good health. God's blessings to you
ReplyDeletePraying all goes with the tests and results. Take care.

Best wishes for good results on the tests tonight. I hope you don't have a long wait to hear the results. First times for test are always a little scary. I will be thinking about you all day.
ReplyDeleteThe Calico Cat is right. The colours in the Spirea would make a lovely batik!
Take care and keep busy (it helps)!
Eliz.
It helps to keep busy, doesn't it? You are getting a lot done. Your spireas are beautiful. Ours never change color, but then we don't usually get much fall color here. Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteIt's all been said already, hoping your tests are not too uncomfortable and that we hear positive results from you soon. Keeping you on my list! I got a ton of applique and hexi's done while waiting for appts.
ReplyDeleteYou're in my prayers!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find the tests not too uncomfortable and that the results are good.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you. I went through a battery of tests last year and know how disconcerting some of it can be.
Just a note to tell you that I am thinking of you and hoping that all goes well with your tests and outcome.

ReplyDeleteTests are always scary, especially the first time. Hope they all come back ok.
Thinking about you and sending prayers.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing your recent works. The frog quilt is great. The inspiration for quilts can come from anywhere - including plants.
Hi Wanda,
ReplyDeleteThinking of you...the waiting for results is the hardest part, I think. Maybe you'll have to keep yourself distracted!
