And finally, Jessica's Spools. This quilt is a special design for my husband's Doctor. Dr. Jessica is the sweetest care provider we could ask for. She is compassionate and kind. She was so interested in my business; so, I thought I should make her a small table square. Se was very touched that I'd make her a quilt! We gave this to her two weeks ago. While I was running an errand; one of the nurses stopped me in the hall and told me how much she adored the quilt that I had made for Dr. Jessica. She also told me that they were all very touched with my story behind the spool design. (The spools in the quilter world are filled with thread; we use them to stitch our bits of fabric together to make a quilt. The spools may empty from time to time, but, we are able to load a new spool and continue on with our stitching. In the medical world, the spools represent the drugs and care provided for my husband; one flows seamlessly to the next. We hope when one spool empties; another will be waiting to help him. ) I have also been asked to design a quilt for Mayo Clinic to hang in the cancer center. Since my husband has colon cancer, I will use royal blue. I've got the design sketched out; and am very happy with it. I turned to the beautiful architectural features of the many buildings in the Mayo Clinic complex. It got the thumbs up approval from my husband. It feels good to be able to give back; even in this small way. I'll post photos as the quilt blocks begin to take shape.
Notice the great cart that dad made for me in this photo shoot! Thanks dad...I love this cart!

You two look GREAT in those vacation pictures! I hadn't checked the blog for some time, and got the "Joined at the hip" email this morning, so it reminded me about it. He doesn't look like he's had ANY chemo!! Keep up the good vibes, and we'll keep you both in our prayers, too.
