Nothing done, but adding updated photos

OK what a week this has been 4 of 6 of us had ear doctor appointments to figure out how to get the wax to not be so full in our ears. 

Then, DH had a follow up appointment for his diabetes and brain scans.  The brain scan came back negative for a brain tumor.  Thank the Lord!

Then, I started having nose bleeds.  I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon.

Then, the band was turning in uniforms and I was there to help that process. 

Then I was worn out.... so not much got done. 

I did get this applique flower from Whimsical Gardens finished while waiting on doctors.  This is Block #2.  I am working on Block #1, but it is more difficult with smaller pieces.  I think I will outline the flowers, but I need to find my DMC floss.

This assortment of blocks is from Home in the Middle.  I think we do the house next time.  I started this with Lorena in November, and it is what got me going on applique. 

i did put the binding on the ugly double knit quilt.  I need to sew it down now.  I don't like the feel of double knit, so it is not at the top of my list.  It will be a UFO when I complete it and will go to a homeless person that will love it.

Not a very good photo, and I'll have to try and do better, but I did get my Whimsical Garden block done because of all the doctors appointments this week.

I'll be starting the Block #1 now.  It was harder and I wanted to practice a little.  I like the back background.

I'll never understand how the computer decides which direction to put a photo.  LOL  I didn't even turn the camera on this one.  anyway, had a class on Thursday and this is one of the blocks.  I'm debating on back stitching around the applique.  Not sure yet, but will have to evaluate it.

Now I need to prep for next month and do the 2 Whimsical Garden Blocks.  There are lots of pieces to them.

New UFO pick

Yesterday was the first of the month.  It is always fun to begin a month.  Liz picked a new UFO and it is UFO #1.

I had so many of these 4 patches that I have already made 2 of these quilts.  We shall see if I use them up this time, or how many quilts are made from it.  LOL

Thanks to Liz, I have already taken 2 UFOs off my list and made more quilts that than.

We also got our new BOM from  apocketfulofmystersies yahoo group -- Contrary Wife.  I hope to get my 2 blocks done today and get the one for my swap partner mailed out on Monday.

I have 2 quilts to quilt this weekend for my friend Tammy.  I have the box here, but have not even opened it yet.

crazy week

Only sewing I got done this week was hemming band pants.   so, I hope to sew some this weekend.  DD has been ill with an ear ache, so that has taken us to the ER for two nights. 
I did some applique work yesterday and today while I was waiting in ER and watching TV with DH tonight.  I might get that one block done for Home in the middle.  I have the flower, the hands and legs, the dress done.  I need to do the face, hair and hat.  Then I'll need to do some embroidery work on this one to make it work right.
I'll post a photo as soon as the applique is done.
