Affairs of the Heart Cyber-Sew 2011
#3914
I'm trying to decide what to take with me next week for some hand sewing... Steph [DD -who many of you may remember is 30 and has behcet's disease] and I are going to Bethesda - NIH for an observational study. We are both excited and afraid at some levels - there will definitely be tests conducted and docs seen who have seen many similar cases. Here - even at UCLA no-one has seen a patient with her exact symptoms and she has responded to nothing for almost 6yrs. Sooooo much pain it breaks my heart - and I'm not sure I would have been able to handle it. The treatments they try are so toxic - methotrexate, enbrel, humira, remicade,steroids, colchicine, imuran,... list goes on ... you just dont know whether to try something or not - although I am not the one enduring the pain. DH in medical research and I tell you we never wanted to take a drug that hadnt been road tested for at lest 15-20yr, but when the pain is intense, you'll try anything.....
well back to what to bring - at first I thought I'll be in DC - go to the Mall- museums, etc. it is so beautiful. But as it gets closer, I may simply be staying at her side.
keep good thoughts and prayers

I don't know if any of you are members of AQS and get the American Quilter?? Got mine yesterday and opened it to find that a Miriam Reed took 2d place in Des Moines show for AOTH! picture is real small - but I also found it here:

she set the blocks in slightly different places but used Aie's borders - I noticed the four inner corners didn't all have that background piece in it - they are scattered. Looks great - and yes - I gotta figure out what fabrics I want to applique & which blocks to take with me for my handwork.... too many decisions. Wish I were down to three or four blocks...

Well I spent Sunday putting my blocks together. I reall love the way this is turning out. Now i have to start the border. When i started this with all you ladies i thought i will never finish this. I guess i was wrong. Once you start you just can't stop.
