LOL! I couldn’t understand why I was getting comments on this post. Seems I forgot to change the post date. It posted a little early in the week.
It’s been a week! And Saturday did not disappoint, it was spent with my mom at an ER, waiting for a bed in a neurology unit at one of the hospitals. Writing this Saturday at 11:00, who knows when I will be able to update. Trying to rule out a TIA.
Update: No news yet but we did get to a hospital bed at midnight.

In: On left fabric I ordered last week, but just got this week, 5.5 yards from Pineapple Fabrics. On right, I went back for more of the thin Patriotic stripe and picked up fabric for some purple pillowcases. And then I needed more blue for the wallhanging and pillow cover, so back for more, and just look at the darling cream print I found. I gotta stop!
Out: My fabric, 2 pillowcases for charity and the pillow top and backing for my Patriotic Pop Pillow.
Out: Not my fabric, pieced tops and backs for charity quilts.

I really like your Potato Peel Pie quilt (what a fun name too). Hope this week is proving to be a good one on the stitching front. Thanks for linking up with 15 minutes to stitch.
Thanks, it really came about from a fat quarter print of potatoes, and it just had to be made! > >
Hi Chris! I agree with Kate, I love how the Potato Peel Pie quilt turned out. I really like that color palette but for some reason I rarely use it. And that thin patriotic stripe fabric is cool – can’t wait to see where you use that. ~smile~ Roseanne
Thanks! I really had no clue how it would turn out, I just grabbed fabrics. LOL! The thin stripe will be for background use and maybe for a pillow back. > >
Nice report card here–you get a A+ for sure!
Aw, thanks! But I get a D on buying fabric!

Hope everything worked out with your mom.
Thanks, still waiting for more tests and a Dr visit. > >
Love your potato peel pie quilt. That is a mouthful. LOL
Prayers for your Mom and they figure out what the problems are.
Thanks!

Sending good healing thoughts for your Mom. My husband suffered both TIA and full stroke 10-years ago. He’s doing great these days after cleaning up his food & drink for healthier choices. Oh no, I too suffered from “I need that fabric” this week and bought some more as well. Ah well. Hope you get some rest on Sunday!!!
Thanks! We are still in a holding pattern here, glad your husband has been doing well. > >
The knitting is lovely.
Thank you! It is one of my favorite kinds of knitting. > >
I hope your Mom is OK! Your projects are looking beautiful, as always!
She is back home and doing much better.

I’m glad to hear your mom is doing better. You had a good in week, and also did some nice sewing and knitting, too.
Thanks, it was a good week, and the weekend is now over and hopefully the issues. > >
