One Down - Two To Go

I had my blood test this morning and right after lunch will be the chest x-ray. The MRI isn’t scheduled until 7 PM tonight so unless they have a cancellation during the day, we’ll be driving back up north in the dark tonight. Good thing I can make the trip on auto pilot.
Today’s block is another water lily. As a little girl I thought they were the yucky yellow ones. The turtles always seemed to like them. We’ve had two water lily blocks now. Makes me wonder if Sally lived near a lake or was remembering a place from her childhood. Sally Post Floral Sampler Block 27 |

best wishes for the tests. drive careful
I love water lilies! It reminds me of summer visits with my father’s sister where we fished for sun fish among the lilies…. we never did catch one and when I think back it was most likely a way to keep three little girls busy….the dock was a rare treat and my younger sister worked hard learning to swim all summer just so she could fish too[there was a "no dock" if you couldn't swim policy]we thought the lilies were beautiful and seeing as my young sister was “not” a fisher-person I am sure it was the lilies that lured her….take a few quilt magazines with you today! The waiting game at clinics can be very tedious with all those cooking and “what the stars are doing” magazines that seem to grace the coffee tables there…..have a safe drive home!
What a pretty block. I can remember seeing wonderful waterlilies in lagoons as a child. There were always very peaceful places surrounded by spreading gums and lots of beautiful, if noisy, native birds. I think I will really enjoy making this block for the thoughts in evokes. Best wishes for all your tests today. It is always stressful going through these procedures and then waiting to find out the results. Take some relaxing stitching with you and then the time is not a total loss. Take care.
