Update

Well I have created a new page that will show my progress on the Grandmother's Choice BOW from Barbara Brackman.  I am caught up!!!  Even with block #4...killer block.  Loved doing the latest one with the schoolhouse.  So click here to see the newest.  I am hoping to do another page with the Stars and Sprigs BOM...but not ready yet. ;o).

Update on Bob with kidney stones....well we thought we were done with the 2 operations behind us.  He went back for a check up and they found a "shard" in one of his kidneys....so he has to have another operation in about a week.  BUMMMER!!!  He has been feeling fine and did say he has a pain there just every now and then, but nothing serious...but needs to get fixed this year so we don't have many out of pocket expenses.

I think that is why I have quilted so much this weekend...plus I need to see the dining room table soon since I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner.... hee...hee.   k

Grandmother's Choice BOW

Here are the blocks I have finished for Barbara Brackman's Grandmother's Choice BOW.  You will see that I am still working on Block 4...a difficult block that I am trying applique on...so hopefully will be posted soon.  Also missing block 9...not sure what happened there...will make this week.
This is my therapy right now.  I can feel accomplishment when I get just one block done ;o)  I am staying with the suggested colors for the suffrage movement that were recommended...purple, green and gold.  Like the "red" block for a little spice.  Hope you enjoy.  k
