WOW

 I can't believe it's been a year and a half since I last posted.  Lots has happened.

Since I last posted I have 3 bladder cancer surgeries and in December I was diagnosed with a second breast cancer.  This time it was my right breast.  I had surgery on January 10th.  When I first met my surgeon she looked at me and said "You look much better in person than you do on paper."  All I could do is laugh. I'm healing well.  I have an appointment next month with my oncologist and my radiologist.  Wednesday I am having cataract surgery on my right eye and in February I will have the left eye done.  With all this I am feeling great and have been trying to keep up with my quilting.



I finished my Aviary quilt top.  I enjoyed it so much that I signed up for the next quilt which is called Samplemaker.  I'm so far behind on it because of my surgeries and chemo.



This is the center of the dog quilt for my daughter Kelley's new dog.  My son-in-law requested a skull on the quilt.  

This is going to be it for today.  I'm hoping to post more photos later in the week.  I'll let you know how the cataract surgery goes.  

Hugs, Cathy

You've had quite the past year and a half! I can relate because of issues my husband has had and the five joint related surgeries I've experienced. Nothing compared with what you have faced. "Thoughts and prayers" is a cliche these days but I do hope you can continue with your remarkable attitude. Cross stitch and quilting are my go-to therapy as quilting obviously is for you.

My very best wishes for your recovery and continued optimistic attitude.

I wondered what had happened to you. My oldest son recently had surgery for bladder cancer. He's doing great. I'm glad to hear you're feeling good in spite of all the physical ups and downs. Your Aviary quilt looks wonderful. I love the soft blues.
