I tried to finish up some projects and just missed the mark.
I finished this months blocks for Mrs. Lincolns Quilt.
I'm working on this quilt with Julie.
Next is Celebrating Mary Brown.
As you can see I didn't get it finished. Also it is a really bad photo. This is Block 4 Row 1.
Be sure to stop by and see what the others are working on.
Karen, Julie, Nanette and her friend Jan, Jennie, Robin, and Rebecca. I love how everyone does their blocks.
I also finished a few other blocks. Here are my Cheddarback blocks.
I made Christmas Table Quilt but I didn't get it quilted so it is going to be a Christmas gift for next year.
It is a large Hexagon. It looked a little plain till I added the snowflake in the middle. I used a Sizzix die for the snowflake.
For an early Christmas gift I ordered the Derby House BOM. It comes with fabric and pattern each month.
I love the fabrics. I finished these yesterday. I can't wait to see what blocks we will be working on in January.
Well this year had some low points. We lost our youngest brother to a brain tumor. In the last 20 years he had had 2 surgeries to remove the tumor. They told him each time it would return and it did. We were lucky to have had him as long as we did. We miss him so very much.
The second is (as you know) I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September, surgery at the end of October, and Radiation treatments in November and December. I finished the treatments Dec. 18. They told me I would feel worse before I felt better...they were right. My breast looks like it has a sunburn. But gradually it is getting better. I see the radiologist on Jan 2 and then I will start taking the hormone reduction pill.
I also had a bone density test which showed I'm in the normal range. And I saw a geneticist. They did a blood test. I was negative for both Brca1 and 2. And negative for a whole list of things. Great news for me and my girls.
So here's to the new year. I know it will be a good year.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm always glad to hear from you.
Hugs, Cathy

Cathy muchos y precioso bloques que has terminado.
Feliz año nuevo
You keep so many beautiful projects going. And I think the snowflake was the perfect touch in the Christmas table topper.
I wish for your 2020 to contain more high points, but hey--you got good news on your bone scan, etc. this year. :)
You have really got a lot of things going. The Celebrating Mary Brown block looks great. They are more time consuming than I thought they would be. Mrs. Lincoln blocks are sure cheerful. I like the background in the pink block. It gives it a a good repro feel. And then you're doing Cheddarback too!!! Wow! I like the snowflake in the center of your Christmas block. It is a nice touch. The Derby House quilt really tempts me but I've been able to resist so far.
Cathy that is good news about the testing! I am hoping that 2020 will be a great year for you! I know I am ready to get out of this Decade! 2010-2019 has been horrible and I am excited as I feel this will be a great year for us!
I love all your blocks! Hang in there and we will continue to pray that you recover quickly and stay healthy!
I am curious - were you taking Premarin and Progestin before this started?
To me that is how all this breast cancer started with women!
Hugs and Happy New Year! May we meet our quilting goals!
It seems to me that all of your sewing projects have been a positive thing in your life. You just keep going, which can be a hard thing to do at times. You're an inspiration to all of us.
You got lots done this month !! Love your Mrs.Lincoln blocks, and especially thisMary Brown block. Praying that the coming year will hold fewer bumps in the road.
Yay, Cathy! Such good news on the DNA. And it must feel good to be on the other side of your treatment.
I am so sorry about the loss of your brother,
Hugs...
You have had quite a finish to your year. Both in quilt projects and your cancer treatment. 2020 has got to look better for your health after all you have been through.
You have a lot of quilt projects in the works. You got pretty far on Mary Brown even with all your projects and the holiday season.
Love all your progress--especially the plaids--I'm looking forward to seeing the next batch! Happy New Year!
I certainly enjoy seeing all your beautiful blocks! Congratulations on getting through your cancer treatments. And how great that the genetic testing gives you peace of mind concerning your girls. Hope all continues to go well for you in 2020.
These plaids are the best. You are encouraging me to get out the plaids!!
