I have yet to start my first quilt that I have to have finished by the end of August for my In laws 52nd Anniversary. My husband needed a little extra attention and decided to go in the hospital on Wed. night. His blood pressure was 202 over 168 he wanted to wait until this Saturday to go, the doctors told him he would have died if he waited. Anyway he is going to be fine, just needed 2 new meds and I will make sure he takes them. Also Iwill finally start today cutting my fabric for the quilt but I am still waiting on out of State family members to send in there part of farbic for the quilt. Please pray for my husband and for me to finish this quilt on time I will post pictures when I get done. I am very excited about this project. Thanks for listening (reading). Shawn ;-)

Wow, that is high blood pressure. I'm glad he is doing better. I can't wait to see your quilt. Is it going to be a memory quilt? I hope everyone sends theirs soon and you can get it started. Post pic so we can see it.

Glad that your husband didn't wait until weekend to get checked out. Your plan for your quilt sounds great, keep us posted on your progress.

I hope your DH continues to do well! You've definitely taken on a HUGE undertaking to get this quilt done by the end of August especially if your FAMILY MEMBERS don't hurry up and get their parts sent back to you! I'm happy for you also on this project! I'll be anxiously awaiting pics of the finished quilt!

Maybe a polite reminder about the deadline of the quilt project should be passed along when you update the family members of your DH's health.

Sending prayers and hugs.

I know about those kinds of husbands. They try to take care of everyone else and neglect themselves. My DH was just released from hospital and he is not taking it easy like he was instructed. Best wishes to you, though.
