Hello sistahs!!

Sorry i've been so "absent", but it's been crazy busy for me here.

Today I learned that my DM was sick with the "D" for 4 days after she was here, and my DH was, for a couple of days that he didn't tell me about.....(y'know, the "running" kind.........). S'funny that it took so long to appear.
Looks like it wasn't food poisoning after all. I feel sorry for my DM having to go through it.
Glad she didn't get as sick as I did. She wouldn't have been able to take it at her age (90).

I'm in so many swaps that I'm gonna be quite busy for awhile. I have 10 quilt squares to make & send by as close to the end of august as I can (Signature Block), then the Tote Bag Swap, and I still have to make the Birthday Book that Cindy (Purpbtrfly) sent me in the Envelope Swap lol
Then.......... omgoodness lol

Not to mention the yard I'm working on for my friend, Marlene (yard heck - it's a small park LOL).
I went to the DG Calgary Roundup yesterday, and came home with a lot of plants, so had gone to Marlene's to plant them. I musta disturbed a wasp nest in the raised (weed) bed, cuz one stung me on the foot - ow ow ow ow!!!!! It felt like I was being repeatedly injected with hot acid!! Youch!! I continued on gardening, but gave up on using the pitchfork on the flower bed! I didn't get to sleep until 1:30 because of the stinging in my foot!!! It's still a little swollen, but I can forget about it most of the time lol Good thing I'm not allergic to wasp stings. I didn't know for sure if I was, cuz I haven't been stung since I was about 6 yr old.

Anyway, I know my pattern for the 10 squares, and with a new sewing machine, this should be a Cinch! 2 weeks and counting! My piece will look something like this. Well, not quite - it's more of a Lone Star, but only 8" finished size. I'll send it as an 8.5" block....
