Quazeequilts

Life always has new challenges. Now it is my daughter's turn to wait for a biopsy on her breast.. She is being very positive and so have my friends who work in radiology doing mammo's. But then there is all those dear friends who are dealing with breast.. several have passed on and others we celebrate each year 11, 14 , 13, 6. They are all years to celebrate.. What's the statistics.. 10 to 20 percent malignant.. All we can do is deal with what ever is thrown our way one day at a time.

I'm crazy quilting.. I've got 88 blocks done. and 50 blocks to pass on to the last two members of our group to start working on their crazy quilt.. Carol and Susan aren't really into this project.. Or else they are as burnt out with this project that we started last year.. We share our scraps and make this blocks on 6 1//2 inch muslin back.. Sew strips and pieces in any crazy pattern your heart desires. It become addictive for some of us.. Truly amazing to see what you can make of these little bites.. or strips left over from other projects.. My four patches are going into 10 inch blocks .. So we'll see how this works out..and sunshine and shadow is only half pieced.. I guess, I like bouncing from one quilt to another.. I'll get my camera out and work on pictures soon.. If I can get to the point where I can publish this thing.. I can't seem to find my own blog on the internet.. Such is life..

Daughter is driving the 6 hours to visit today.. with the kids.. I'll be praying for safe travel the whole time..

Okay, I'm not so sure about this new blogger stuff..
But the news about the mammo re do is good.. Calcification in the old scar.. Hurrah for me.. Now good for another year.. And then we start all over again...

I've got 79 crazy quilt squared completed and only need about 11 more and I'll start string them together.. Plus, putting the 256 4 patches together.. I must be lossing my mind.. I'll see where these go...

Not much will get done in the coming week with daughter and kids coming for the week and brother in law and his wife and two girls.. He is always a character to have visit.. daugther and kids will bring fun to the week... beach.. zoo.. tea party.. running and laughing.. so now to see how this posts...

Okay, I'm trying not to scream or cry for that matter. Got the dreaded.. call yesterday.. Your mammo is not normal and we need more views and ultrasound.. Oh, yes, I've had 4 other lumpectomies and 2 other needle biopsy's. But, you never get used to these calls ... You always await the word cancer.. and then you see the surgeon and go one.. So I'll go on. But, still nervous.. My best friends know and call to encourage.. My husband dismisses it as , "Oh, they are just covering their mal practice butt.." Right..
I'll just pray and make some more crazy quilt patches.. I figure I'll have 90 shortly and that will make a nice size lap quilt...

I wish I knew which pic is being uploaded.. Complete surprise. Such is life.

I have been having a very lazy quilt months.. I'm not inspired to do much of anything. I guess, I need more sunlight.. and I guess with this new time for daylight savings time I'll get my wish.. NOT..

I've got 5 donations quilts in varying stages of development.. I've made 256 5 1/2 inch 4 patches.. My husband tells me that is a prime number.. I really wasn't thinking that way. I was using up 3 inch squares from scrap fabric. So we'll have to see where they got from here..

I have finish my part of my quilt group round robin.. I wasn't really happy with much of what I did. But, it sure was a challenge. I will post the results that will be presented at the Apr 12 meet to make up for not being able to get together in March and then we will meet the last week in Apr also..

I want a new body. They one is just giving me a fit of pain from fibromyalgia right now.. Where is the answer of stem cells or magic pills or something holestic..
