Wow it's been awhile and so much has happened, my mom was in ICU for about 11 days, she is now at a "Manor" home that's helping her with physical therapy. Soon we hope she will get to go home. 3 days after my mom went into ICU her brother passed away, she was very close to him.

My oldest daughter Erica found out she has 2 lumps in her thyroid, a ultrasound & then biopsy shows no cancer, she has to have it checked every 6 months.

Things got very busy for awhile, I was lucky to be caught up on the RR block I had and got it mailed out early. House is in process of getting caught up, catching up on Layla time, being at the hospital meant a lot less time with her. She turned 10 months with 5 teeth, PJ is 4 months and doing good.

I was looking for a CQ picture and found this heart I did for one of HGTV quilting board ladies, we did careing hearts, we found out her story which gave us lots of ideas for each heart made. I took her love of the woods and nature and came up with this.

I always find mistakes in my work but sometimes I am super proud of a piece and this is one of them. There are 4 pics, first 2 are of the completed block front and back, the last 2 are of block after I did some work on it, they were taken with and without flash to try and see the colors. I haven't figured this thing out and the pics keep showing up wrong.
