It's a top!
Bow Ties
40 x 40
A few weeks ago Jenny sent me a box of small 3 and 4 inch finished blocks in all colors of the rainbow. Instead of putting them away for later I decided to use them. This is the first of several tops. I happened to finish this top on July 9 before I took my husband to the ER but didn't take photos until this morning.
When finished it will make a nice comfort quilt for a wee one.
And sew it goes...

Good News! He's home. He was discharged yesterday around 4pm. Diagnoses from that visit: Acute hypoxic respiratory failure, Bronchiectasis, Left lower lobe pneumonia, Medical problem-major (whatever that means) and Sepsis, unspecified organism. I can't believe he is out of the hospital after only two days. Oh, thank goodness! Now he just has to stay well enough to pass a stress test on July 24 and if he does then he gets the mandibulectomy, etc. on August 5.

Oh joy! Recently Sandi sent me a box of HSTs and Barbara sent me a box of all sorts of different goodies. I am blessed with so many bits and pieces as fodder for comfort quilts. Sewing (and gardening and reading) keeps my mind healthy and able to deal with all the health issues with hubby.

I finished two books! Dead Canyon by Jeff Carson. It is book #16 in the David Wolf Mystery Thriller Series.
I Know an Old Lady by Margaret Standafer. It is a coming of age novel. I think it was longer than it needed to be; however, it was a nice story.
Reading (and sewing and gardening) keeps my mind healthy and able to deal with all the health issues with hubby.

While I was out taking pics of the quilt this morning a songbird I've never heard before decided to serenade me. After I got inside hubby asked if I saw what bird that was that was singing. No, I didn't.
Also while I was out taking pics I walked over to the fragrant garden I made by an old swing set for hubby. It is not far from the house so it is good exercise for him to get out for a bit. I added a couple of Adirondak chairs so he could sit for a bit. Well, anyway, as I said...I walked over to the fragrant garden and saw Orienpet (Tree) Lilies in bloom so snapped a couple of photos. Orienpet Lilies grow taller with each year.

And sow on...

Your bow ties made into a super top! The ER visit and care for your DH has to take a toll on you too. I'm glad you have the garden as well as needle and thread for an escape. Take care of yourself.
I"m glad you have time in between caring for your husband to read and sew and the flowers are lovely too.
This is a great setting for bow tie blocks! I've never seen before... :)
