Two weeks? Really?? I can't believe I have been so lax in posting.

In all fairness, it was Easter last weekend and I entertained my family for dinner.  I caught the dreaded cold on the 15th and my husband's health has been deteriorating badly because of extremely low hemoglobin counts.  A specialist sent him for blood tests and called us and got him in for blood transfusions and that happened on Thursday.  It has taken 48 hours for his new blood to 'work' but today, he is the husband I know instead of a shaking, stooped old man who couldn't use a tv remote, write, do his crosswords and the list goes on.  And best of all, he tried driving and he was just fine!
I will not miss my role as caregiver. 

The past few days was the local quilt show for my guild and while I remained at arm's length, I had offered to help with the merchant mall and was busy during set up and take down.  All the time coughing and wondering when this cold will end?

I did put some quilts into the show so earlier in the week, had to get the hanging sleeves and labels onto them.

And now, I have them to take off this week!
Last weekend my husband sat in a chair and directed garage clean up activities and my awesome grandson worked hard.  Everything that didn't belong in our garage is now stored properly in the basement.  Good work!
I did make a pillowcase for my granddaughter. 

And I made a baby quilt that my sister wanted... she shopped for the fabric and chose the design.  Super simple and she was thrilled with the result.  I ran out of binding but she brought enough fabric with her at Easter and I managed to get it finished after dinner.
And a small table runner that is an old UFO got finished.
My aqua rainbow scrap blocks are done for April.
And I have my Sparrow blocks... 50 blocks in 50 weeks ready to catch up.  My busy bee quilt is also in the middle of being sewn together.  Not much progress but for two weeks, I am ok with this.


And my CQA 52 blocks in 52 weeks is up to date as well.
