Finally, in the boring-but-what-the-heck-I'll-share-anyway-category, we are having a bit of a reality check around here. My husband had knee surgery yesterday. Which he was supposed to have last Tuesday but after putting him to sleep and giving him the nerve block to his leg, they realized they didn't have the right tools to take out the screws that were in his leg from when he had his ACL replaced 18 years ago. Crazy. So he got to go back and do it all again yesterday. This time all went well, but he is needing some extra TLC. And wouldn't you know it, I went and got sick myself for the first time this winter. So I'm dragging some. I was starting to worry that "our pets' heads are falling off" (our code phrase for when everything seems to come at you at once) but I think things aren't quite that dire. I only share because it may explain if I'm not too responsive for a bit.

I love love LOVE the bee block - you are right about the fabrics... just fabulous! I hope that you and your husband recover quickly. There is nothing worse than being sick yourself when you are trying to help someone else feel better.

If you need some moral support over the surgery we can co-miserate. My husband had the exact same "taking out old screws" surgery last yr (fixing old mission injury surgery from 20 yrs ago). Then he had the "fixing it right" surgery 3 months later. It stunk but was worth it after recovery time. His Dr.(Dr. Kimball--Y Ftball team doc) was awesome!!! Now he is a new man with a

Just found your blog and well........I think we should be friends 🙂 Ok, and the Downton Abbey series, totally left me hanging too. Me and my husband (yes, he likes those BBC type shows too) just sat there dumbfounded, like really is that it? I heard they are making it into a series, I guess well see. Love your quilts. I worked in a quilt shop in college and before I had kids and really miss

I do medical transcription for an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in knees and shoulders. Really? They didn't have the proper tools? Yikes! <br /><br />Anyway I hope you all feel better soon. And the blocks are great!
