Getting Ready for Surgery

I was reading Rian's post, on how the company she bought her golf bag from is replacing it at no cost to her when it broke, & it made me think of Lowes. Odd segway, I know, but this is why. My DH & I fell in love with a particular kitchen cupboard set at our local Lowes. We asked them if we could just buy the floor model, & they said no, we would have to order it. Well Warren decided last October to buy it for me for Christmas. He ordered all the 28 or so individual pieces that made up the display, & things got mixed up. 2 right hand doors were sent, no top, or bottom for the upper cupboard. The counter top first came 10 feet long instead of 5. It's now July & we were just told, sorry they quit doing this particular model, & we can't get the color any more. So this is what is setting in my kitchen. Not the way it's supposed to look yet.

This is the floor model. The only thing wrong with this, is the glass doors are upside down. Well this week when they told us they could no longer get the parts we needed, they decided to give us this cabinet. That's right, for what we paid for 2 pieces of board, they will give us this whole thing. We are very happy. We will still be able to reconfigure the cabinets we have, & use them, & now we have the whole thing! Thanks Lowes!
I'm trying to get myself all ready for my surgery on Tuesday. I've loaded my friend Margaret's quilt on to Lily. I hope to do it as soon as I can after surgery. We'll see how soon that is...
Mindy, & John stopped by today with Hope so I could try the top of her dress on her, & then I also made the pattern for the Vest, the same way I had done on the dress with tape. I cut it out of the fabric that I made quilting 3 layers together, & here it is, ready for the next fitting tomorrow. I'll see her at lunch since that's when my pre-op appointment is with the Dr..

My friend Jackie gave me this nice basket, it's a perfect project basket.

When I was quilting this group quilt, I found some problems. Namely holes where the seams didn't quite get sewn together.

I decided since it's a lot of florals on most of it, & it's a group quilt, made sort of "Quilting Bee" style, a few bees might solve the problem areas. I thread painted several bees, & put them where ever a hole needed hiding.

The wings are just a chiffon that I burned out with my Zapper.

Tomorrow after I get back home from the Dr. appointment I'll make a Tuna Noodle casserole for my DH to eat while I stay in the hospital, & I better make bread too. I don't know if I'll get to post anything else before surgery, but hopefully I'll be able to post again by Sunday. Chamai for now!
