Now, I think I'd better explain what's

going on with me and why my posts

may be a little erratic for a short while.

It seems that my body has gotten carried

away with making the fluid that surrounds

the brain and spinal cord.  Too much fluid 

causes pressure on the brain and can interfere

with walking and thinking, among other things.

 

It's called "water on the brain" 

or hydrocephalus.

My thinking is still pretty much OK  

(only slight memory problems so far)

but walking is exhausting.  

(I wake up, go to the kitchen to

start the coffee and need a nap.)

Luckily it's curable and I found  a 

very good neurologist and neurosurgeon.

What they have to do is make a slit at the base

of my brain and insert a shunt to drain off the

fluid.  Then I'll be good as new.

And my doctor had 7 years of postgraduate 

training at Mayo Clinic to learn now to do it.

To say nothing to the fact that the medical

school he went to is one of the top 20 in the nation.

Max's wife who is a charge nurse at Centerpoint 

(a hospital in Kansas City) and my grandson Jake 

who is in Dental School both checked him out 

to make sure I was in good hands.

On a much lighter note, these are my  Silver Laced

Orpington chickens.   I call them my bowling ball chickens 

because I think they look like bowling balls.

2 things.....1) I can't remember what the specials for

this week are and Tammie has gone home so you'll

have to check back tomorrow 

and 2)  - Lets go see what the other ladies did with Fig Tree's block

Fractured Rainbow 

by Stacy-lest-Hsu

 

You can go to her blog to

download the pattern by

clicking here

 and our vintage

book for September is still

Quilts, Rugs & Stuff.

The rug I'm featuring this week

is may Angel Hearth Rug

that went back on my hearth

this week after taking the

summer off.

I've had it for years and it's still 

one of my favorites.

Halloween is approaching quickly

so we have 2 of my favorite patterns

on sale - 

Trick or Treat and

The Witch is In.

The kids in costume are my grandchildren

Zoie is both the angel and the witch -

(depending on her mood :)

Jake is the pirate, Quinn was and still is the "little devil"

Cullen was a baby at the time so he's the astronaut.

Brian Jr. wanted to be somebody scary so 

he's the "grim reaper".  It's a really fun quilt to make

and you can assign costumes or let them

pick - whichever fits your family best.

And then there's Mama.  

I always said that this wasn't a Halloween Quilt -

It's a Statement Quilt :) :) :)

I really miss Market this year - this quilt

always hung by my chair.

I hope everyone is safe and staying well.

Now........

lets go see what the other ladies 

have done with Stacy's block.

Block 35

Coming Together by Lissa Alexander.

You can go to her blog to 

download the pattern by 

going to http://modalissa.com/. 

I just love this block and the

fabrics in it are from one of 

my favorite lines Clover Meadow. 

Our Vintage Book this    

month is

Quilts, Rugs & Stuff

by Linda Brannock & Jan Patek, 

an oldie but goodie.

The angel rug that's in it is on

my hearth right now.  After all, 

what is a house without angels.

And our kit on special this week

is a School Days kit at 20% off.

You can go to my store to buy

this cute little kit by clicking 

here. (And I'm having trouble

with the links again so if you can't 

get to the store, email Tammie at

janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com 

and she'll get it for you.

I want to thank each and every one

of you that sent me birthday wishes.

They made my day bright and warm.

Thank you.

Oh, and one more thing.  I can't get to the

comments.  Luckily, I kept reading the names

for my Tablestand Quilts as they

came in and I picked "Sunflower Cottage"

but I can't get to who sent it.  Tammie will

be here soon and she's the IT person around

here so she should be able to get them.

There were lots of awesome names and it 

was hard just picking one so I may pick 

another one next week.

Found it - Karen Martin named Sunflower Cottage.

Karen, please send your snail mail address to

Tammie at janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com.

Karen, I'm still working on the back so 

it will be a minute or two until your kit is ready.

Hopefully my new computer will come in 

his week and it one will turn on.  The last one

I ordered got here but it wouldn't turn on.

Meanwhile, lets go see what the 

other ladies have done with Lissa's block
