It’s been months. Busy, crazy insane months, Hubby is still awaiting a heart procedure. It’s been almost a year. His health has thrown us a few serious curve balls. I’m still sewing/quilting. My happy place. My stress reliever.

Is that your next to the quilt? I see glasses so it's hard to tell. I didn't know they did surgery for congestive heart failure. I know people that have had it but maybe I don't really know what it is. I'll have to look it up. The closest my family has had to heart problems is that my mom had a heart murmur that needed surgery before she got several joints replaced.

@Morleyhunt I can understand that. Your hair is shorter too from your profile.

@MarshaMusselman my profile photo is a couple of years old. My hair is actually quite a bit longer now than a year ago.

My husband is to have open-heart surgery in May but at least we now have a date for it. We've had a lot of tests to get to this point. Your quilt is exquisite but then everything I've seen that you've done has been pretty lovely. Take care and best wishes to you both. I hope you'll be able to visit a bit more often now.

It’s been almost a year since all this started. I have watched my husband slowly decline. Without this procedure they suggested back in October he might have a year to live. Here we are 6 months later and while we have been maintaining since January, I’m watching a slow decline. Heartbreaking.

Did you make the quilt in the picture. I would love to make a quilt but I do not sew that good.

Yes it’s still a work in progress. Hopefully I can do the machine part of the binding this week, then finish it this weekend.

I have always admired your quilts, but this one is just stunning. I have no other words for it. I am sure that the quilting serves as good therapy for the patience that you have during this waiting time for your husband's heart procedure.

Our primary caregiver was concerned about my health and asked on a scale of one to ten….how would I rate my stress level….. My answer 14. We really hope we can get hubbies condition under control. Almost losing him twice in December has made for a really long winter.
