FNSI and RSC Report & Hubby's Surgery

RSC is going rather well. I'd say teal seems to agree with me!

This Awesome Land block came out from under the needle last week and I particularly like the way the b&w packground plays with everything in this block. Another block was also completed as a leader & ender but I failed to get a picture.

I also finished another three teal Heartfire blocks but apparently didn't get around to snapping a picture of them either. That brings my total teal Heartfire blocks to six. Only three more to go for my 9-block-goal! I promise more pictures for next week's So Scrappy link. In the meantime, visit Angela and see some really amazing teal/turquoise creations here!

I'm trying very hard to concentrate on Hospital Sketches. I really want this one finished before April 28th which is the next meeting for UFO Club at my LQS. Of course, we may have to meet virtually if COVID is still lurking. Anyway I got the bias made and glued down the entwining vines.

I made a start on the applique of the vines at home Thursday but I really got a lot done yesterday at the hospital while waiting on hubby's surgery. I'm linking up with Wendy at Sugatlane Designs for Friday Night Sew-In yesterday! A lot of these girls are from Australia so, even though I was sewing all day yesterDAY, I was actually sewing with them Friday NIGHT down under! Be sure to stop by and see their amazing creations ... usually lots of handwork ad tons of inspiration!

As far as Hospital Sketches goes, I'm thinking some appliqued motifs in the corners and I'm not too sure about the three links per side ... maybe leave as is and quilt a motif in them? Maybe an applique dot? Heart? Suggestions welcomed. Wish I'd taken a better picture ...

My husband had surgery yesterday to remove a mass from his right kidney. It went the full (and perhaps a tad longer) than the estimated 3-5 hours. There were a couple hurdles for the doctors to overcome but when I left late last night, DH was in his room waiting for Xray results and waiting for more pain medicine. While the surgery was performed with robotics, apparently this isn't an easy surgery. I hope he was able to get some rest last night. He's going to need it because the plan when I left last night was to have him up & walking this morning. Oh boy!
