The surgeon and cardiologist both gave me good reports this past week. They keep reminding me that the recovery for this surgery is 6 months to a year. And, I have been reminded of this by numerous people who have had open heart surgery, as well. Rest assured….I am taking it easy. I have nurse Joe to deal with if I try to do too much!

BOOK REVIEW
I usually review novels. This time, I am actually reviewing a quilt book.
We went to Virginia yesterday to meet some friends for lunch. Since Joe was driving, I had some time to read. I had just purchased Becky Goldsmith’s book called, “A Quilter’s Practical Guide to Color”. Great job Becky. I love the page layouts. They are a feast to the eye. I will look at it over and over again! Not only because the photography and illustrations make me happy, but also because Becky has explained color in a way that is very understandable and applicable for quilters. I highly recommend this book. Visit Becky’s website listed below to order your copy. While you are on the site, check out all of Becky and Linda’s other books and notions. Get out your charge card now and have fun shopping!

I got a great email from Hazel Mark from High River in Alberta, Canada. She took a class from me a while ago. Let’s not say just how long because Hazel had some health issues and flood issues which kept her from quilting for a while. But, her Magical Medallions-Block Three is now finished and it looks great. Thanks for sharing Hazel.
Until next week……
