| FW blocks #12, 16, and 20 |
New #1 -- the lovely purple fabric is a yard of Smithsonian fabric I won in a giveaway from Lisa who's started a second blog called Material Witness. I've been following her other blog Stray Threads for some time. She writes about antique quilts, restoring them and enjoying them. If you like reproduction fabrics, you'll want to check out what she has to share. A gal just can't have too much purple repro fabric, Lisa. Thank you!New #2 --My copy of Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement by Suzi Parron arrived this week (preordered it some time ago). It's a hefty 240 pages, and I've only looked through it quickly so far, but I hope to bury my nose in it soon. The book is also available in a version for Kindle.
New #3 -- This may seem like a repeated story, but it's a new version. I'll be bringing my DH home from the hospital later today. He has a new joint. I look nothing like Farrah Fawcett, but I have my own Bionic Man. He got a new left shoulder in May 2011, a new left knee in December 2011, and he got a new left hip this week. Our living room is still set up like a modified rehab/recovery room following the knee surgery, so there's not much to do in preparation for bringing him home.
I may not be posting for a few days. I'm Nurse Vivian again.
Have a great weekend!

Your FW blocks are looking so great and I love that purple fabric.
Hope it is smoothe sailing for your DH. I know he will appreciate his private nurse.
Good luck with your nursing job! Maybe you can do some hand work in between the nursing?
Well, Nurse Vivian, you have made some lovely Farmer's Wife blocks--and I am so jealous of that repro purple!! That is my favorite color of all for repro fabrics. What a beauty.
Hope DH has a smooth recovery, for his sake and yours!
Nice blocks, book and fabric! Hope you get a chance to play with fabric and read in between Nursing duties. Poor Randy--that's a lot of surgery in one year!
I like your new header for Mardi Gras! Purple is my favorite--that fabric is so cool. Good luck with the nursing job. DH has had back surgery, so I've "been there" before too. You should be a pro by now tho. Take care!
Good luck nurse Vivian,hope the patient behaves himself. Love the FW blocks, hope you manage a bit of sewing.
Lovely blocks Vivian. Hope your DH makes a speedy recovery. Hope he dosen't have to go through an airport scanner anytime soon - he will set alarm bells off!
Good luck with your nursing job Vivian..I hope he's a good patient.
Poor DH, that's a lot of down recovery time for him, and you!
Hope you get a little sewing time in between nursing.
Love the look of that book..great blocks
I do so love that purple fabric !
You will have a new man,when he's fit and well again.
Love your Farmers Wife blocks, isn't it just such an addictive project? I can't wait to make some more of mine.

Your FW blocks are coming along very nicely...this is such a fun project! Sending prayers for a speedy recovery for your hubby.
Wow! He is a bionic man! Take care of yourself as well. Love your FW blocks and your new fabric and book! Take care!!
I love purple, especially in repro fabric, it's a lovely print, I'm sure you'll put it to good use!
The FW blocks are looking good too, a friend of mine at work has been making them by hand and there are some tricky ones in there LOL!
Sounds like you are quite experienced now with your rehab nursing skills, lucky DH! I hope his recovery goes smoothly!
Oh my goodness, didn't know about the new hip!! I know we compared notes on the knees, hope this goes well. What exactly did he have done to his shoulder? My DH is considering shoulder surgery.
Wishing a speedy recovery to your dh! And love how your farmers wife blocks are looking!
Wishing a complete and speedy recovery to your bionic man! Your blocks are lovely.
your BW blocks look really great. I have that fabric in brown, i love the purple!
Good luck to your husband. Mine is getting shoulder #2 done in april, good luck nurse Vivian!
