Thanks Leah, I appreciate the prayers. Depending on where you live if you think of me around 10.00pm tomorrow night (Thursday) it will be 3.00pm Friday here in Australia. I'll be in the machine for half an hour I've been told! We are about 17 hours in front of the USA, but I'm not sure of your time zones. Love Chris
35301They are lovely. You did a great job on them. Gives me an idea for some January snow fabric ones.

I'm so glad I've inspired you Smokey - anything can be made this way of course. I'd love those little bags/purses that Sue has done. The things you can do with scraps of material is endless! Love Chris
10990Chris these are lovely. Quilt as you go is so easy . Did these for my Mum a few yrs back. Hope you are feeling better . Hugs :)

Thanks Pauline, yes, I love the quilt as you go. I wish I'd found this out years ago. How is your daughter? I'm slowly getting there, still in a lot of pain, but living on drugs is making it bearable. Amy will be here soon to help me with the Christmas cake and getting things out of the back cupboards and taking them to the Op Shop. I'm not allowed to lift anything yet. Don't forget we still have to catch up and I want to come down to look at some of those fabric places you took me to last time. Love Chris

Thanks Laura, getting there slowly. Can't wait for Friday and get the results of the MRI. If it's just muscular then I'll be able to do something about it, once the pain settles down. Love Chris
95301Love them!!! I hope you are feeling better! Embroidery, sewing, crochets makes me forget my pain for a little while.

Thank you and yes, that's so true Kathy, something to keep your mind active takes away the thought of pain. Love Chris
6257They are great. Love the idea. I am hoping you feel better.
109762Beautiful! I love this technique of flip and strip...they're already quilted when you are done!

Yes, me too Kim. They are so easy just to attach. This is how I did those bags for the ladies but the fabric in that case was on the Bosal and I could iron them straight onto it and get no separation from the fabrics. Love Chris
313965Also in my prayers Chris & your right they are terrific! I do hope the Valium helps ~hugs~

Thanks Jerrilyn, I'm counting on you and a few others to get me through the next couple of days. I can't wait for the MRI to find out what to do for the next stage. Love Chris

Thanks Pam for the nice comments and yes I was sleeping when you put this reply up, had to get up at 3.00 to take another Tramadol, which got me back to sleep till 6.00 when I heard Trevor having a shower. Got up at 6.30 and took another tablet at 7.30. I'm taking them 4 hourly which alleviates the pain and by then it is wearing off. I took a Valium and by 9.00 the muscle spasms had diminished. I'm doing some preparation for my Christmas cake as Amy will be here soon to help me. Love Chris
8217They are lovely! And I am amazed you have the energy with all the pain you are in, to do this. Take your meds and rest. I hope those spasms stop.
16890511867Chris they are stunning, i would like to put in an order as well. However, you should be resting. I read below that you have medication to help you through the night, i do hope it works. You won't be able to have your ladies luncheon next week if you do not REST. I know we all carry on regardless sometimes, but this needs time to mend. Thinking of you, hope you feel a little better in the morning. Sandra.

Hi Marian, thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm no better and have been taking Tramadol every 4 hours. I got the script filled for Valium to take this evening before bed as my right buttock muscles are going into spasm. Not very comfortable! Still standing to type replies!!!! Love Chris

Thanks Fatima - yes, I know, but you can't keep a good woman down! Well that's what I've heard. I'm standing up to type because I can't sit for long as the pressure is too painful. I've been given some Valium (Diazepam) to take tonight to ease the spasms. Love Chris
