Update On How Scott Is Doing

Hi everyone! I hope ya'll had a very Merry Christmas. Scott is doing well. He went to work today and I imagine he will work through until Friday when the next round of chemo starts. It's my understanding that this will be last of the really bad chemo treatments. I'm thankful that he has a little bit of a break before the final round.

I'd like to say thank you again to everyone for your help, your kindness and your prayers. Grateful is not a strong enough word to express my appreciation for your generosity!

I'll continue to let you all know how Scott is doing.

McHenry Crazy Quilt Block 3 - The Train Depot Complete

I hope everyone had a very nice Christmas!  I haven't been online for a few days but I did do some stitching and finished up block #3 of my McHenry Crazy Quilt:

I also started on Block #4 but I'll save sharing that one with until tomorrow.

Update On Scott

Scott is finally feeling better today. That 2nd round of chemo was really rough on him. Today is the Christmas party at his work so he decided to go in for just a little while to enjoy some time with his buddies!

Now we have to get his strength back up before the final round of chemo which starts on the 30th. I really hate for him to have to go through another round of that but he has to. If all goes well, it'll be the last one.

I'd like to thank everyone again for your kindness, generosity and prayers. It's a tough road but we're getting there one day at a time.

McHenry Crazy Quilt Block 3 The Train Depot

I haven't been sleeping well lately so I find myself getting up at 2 am and stitching.  I get a lot of stitching done in the early morning hours!  Here's where I am on Block #3 of my McHenry Crazy Quilt:

I still have a few things to add like the spider and the text.  Remember, this is a traditional Victorian style crazy quilt, not the heavily embellished blocks that I usually do.

I did over stitch the large piece of Victorian lace in the bottom right-hand corner:

I didn't want to cover up the lace but I wanted to add some color using thread rather than hand-dying it.

I'll post the completed block in my next update.
