Developments…

 It’s been quite the last 48 hours.

I was stung by a bee in my thumb.  I have some strong allergic reactions, including serious swelling and a scratchy throat, but I didn’t have to use the Epi pen this time.  My thumb is still swollen and discolored, so I’ve avoided outside chores.

Last night, DH was gone for Scout training.  Of course that means the severe weather decided to live up to its name.  We had a tornado about 10 miles from us, so the kids spent the evening in the basement and I listened to a lot of weather!  We only lost one large branch and the hail doesn’t appear to have damaged too much, for which I am grateful.
My blocks for the main scrappy heart are all done, and I’m excited to see this quilt come together.

I also finished some stitch-in-the-ditch quilting on my farm quilt, but it’s so large and unwieldy in my machine that I’m taking a break from it for a few days.

Back to work!

Oh, my! That sounds like an exciting, if not happy, week! I love the heart layout so far. Stay away from the bees!

Oh no on the tornado! I was reading about it this morning, but didn't know how close it was to you. I know it did a lot of damage. Glad you're all safe! The scrappy heart is wonderful!

I heard about the tornado and was wondering if it was close to you. Scary! I'm glad you had little damage. I hope you recover from the bee sting soon. I'm allergic to them too but not epi-level and I'm grateful!

Osier! Sorry about your sting. I had a wasp sting last summer, it was very painful and swollen! Hope you are feeling better today! Tornado season is so scary! Glad not much damage! Love your heart quilt! So special!

it must be very scary living in an area where tornados are common. I do love your heart quilt.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
