Last night to unwind in the evening I sewed some of the pink/coral/red strip sets. I laid the green ones next to them. Doesn't that look like an azalea bush? Or maybe one of the coral rose bushes?
I also finished the binding on this quilt at 10 p.m. I hope to get a good picture of it tomorrow. This is the truest color of all of the pictures of it that I have shown of it. Maybe the purples are a little darker than the picture.
Yesterday started with a different kind of red. My 95 year old dad called and said he had a nosebleed that wouldn't stop. I had just gotten out of the shower, I'm standing there with dripping hair and a towel wrapped around me. I told him he would have to pull the emergency chain in the bathroom so the nurse next door at the nursing home would come over. I started drying myself off and getting dressed and they called me to see if I wanted to drive him to the emergency room or should they call an ambulance. It was 40 degrees outside and I had wet hair and wasn't fully dressed yet so I had them call an ambulance. I got to the hospital right after they got him into a cubicle. They stopped the nosebleed, gave my dad some advice (keep your fingers out of your nose) and sent us on our way almost 2 hours later. Now we have to see the nose specialist again, just like last Nov., and he will probably get cauterized again. I had to take Dad for his blood draw (for thyroid) and a flu shot just before lunch too. I got him some McDonald's lunch which he likes and dropped him off at his apt. I had a whopper of a headache between the weather change (rain) and stress so I came home and ate lunch and took a nap. Now you can see why I started this post with "last night to unwind"........................
