D.Hensen, ooh, I want one of each! That purple is yummy. But, so are the others. I've got my hourglasses made, just waiting for my pretties to come home.

I even have pre-approval on a house loan and have found a house.... Now I have to sit all weekend with still no answer... Hopefully some scrappy 9-patches will ease the nerves.

Oh my gosh what a rough week you had. I hope things have settled and you had some time to spend enjoying making 9 patches. Also did you get an answer on are you moving/ or staying?

But 4 days of test, They finally concluded that his low sodium count caused the seizure. Hope this is the end of this, cause I have sewing to do. Will ship them out this week.

Wow Grannyrosie another swapper with a rough week

I hope Mr Rosie is ok now, My FIL has potassium and sodium issues and has been low a couple of times it's really scary we thought he was having strokes. now he drinks gatorade to help keep it elevated.

Glad to see the pretty blocks still being made. I haven’t been sewing... have been down with the flu for nearly a week. Waiting and wondering when it will end.

Hope you you all have a good week ahead.

Hope you feel better soon. This flu is not turning people loose. It seems to just want to hang on forever. Sending healing thoughts your way.

My goodness! Several with distressing news. Without health everything seems harder, and out of order. And not sure where your home is going to be is unsettling. I hope everyone's week improves! I worked this past weekend, and hope to get more sewing done this weekend, although it's another Saturday at work again. We'll see.
Let's hope for the best! Cheer up everyone! :-) We still have blessings to count, I'm sure. :-)

I called my dr. today and told them I had the flu. They didn't even want me to come in! Too risky, I guess. I told her I'd had it for a week and was out of the meds I had been taking (Advil Cold and Sinus, a lifesaver) and would like to get more. She was willing to call it in without even seeing me, which is something she would never normally do! And she trusted my self-diagnosis, LOL.

I started to feel better today, too. Still feel weakened and haven't much stamina, but I'm not totally and utterly miserable anymore. Hallelujah! If anyone prayed for me... thank you! Now I will work on building back my stamina and getting back to my normal routine.

Sewbiz, glad you are feeling better but I will give you the same advice everyone told me. Don’t rush your recovery.

Good morning.

My package of 80 blocks for the group went to the post office this morning. Woo hoo! I hope everyone likes them. I look forward to receiving mine next month. I'm working on a UFO that's sitting on my design wall. I'm ready to be finished with it so they'll be space for all those 9 patches.

I finished my 80 blocks! I will ship them this week. Here is a picture of my last set. These little 9P were fun to make and i definitely got better as I went along. My last half, I had very little to trim and none that went into the “not quite good enough” pile. I plan to work those into my quilt if I can. Couldn’t throw them away.
