Stevens had laprascopic surgery on Friday afternoon. The results were good. "I went from one end of the bowel to the other," said the surgeon when he called me, "and there's nothing there." It's taken S all weekend to recover. He was half-awake when I visited Saturday morning and asleep this afternoon. Thanks again to all of you for your concern and support.
The thirteen Lake County Round Table P.E.O. chapters held the annual Founder's Day luncheon on Saturday. I'm round table president so I was the emcee. This was the second year the event was at the Glen Flora Country Club in Waukegan. The program featured two members of Chapter MQ-Lake Forest who received P.E.O. grants. The chapter provided support and friendship to both women and invited them to membership.
Allie Boman received a Program for Continuing Education grant to get a certificate in professional editing. She is now CEO of Boman Communications which provides editing services for agencies and corporations.
It's inspiring to hear these women's stories and gratifying to know that our fundraising efforts have contributed to their success.
Chapter HS made the centerpieces. Aren't they clever?

Garden Path blocks are assembled. (The pattern is called Sky Diamonds. It is the Running Doe top-along for April.)
I signed up for the doll quilt swap at Humble Quilts. Here's the finished project. I'll get it in the mail this week.
I mistakenly thought that teal was the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for April and made eight 9-patch blocks. It turns out that this month's color is red. It was no problem to make the eight 9ps in red.
I listened to the latest installment in the long-running Inspector Gamache series. There's a new narrator who is French Canadian.
P.S. One of the raffle prizes at today's Razzle Dazzle (baton corps) mostaccioli dinner this afternoon. (I took mine as carryout.) I did not win.
I like the variation of values in the green parts of your Garden Path blocks.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that S is recuperating from the surgery. Your PEO luncheon sounds so interesting - those are amazing young women! Those Ohio stars in red and teal are really pretty - way to make them both the color of the month! I really liked The Grey Wolf, too, but the ending left me with a foreboding feeling. Now I can't wait for the next book to come out!
ReplyDeletei love louise penny and three pines stories...teal and red stars? oh yeah i am there...doll quilt? watching my mailbox just in case...after 80s back in the 60s all week...hope S. continues to improve...
ReplyDeleteYou sure pack a lot into your days!
ReplyDeleteGarden Path is so pretty--nice work on coordinating all those greens...
ReplyDeleteHope Steven has a good recovery...
the teal/red stars are very lovely against that white...;)))
Have a good week--hugs, Julierose
Good to hear that Stevens is doing better. The luncheon sounds very interesting and those table toppers are really cool. Your teal and red stars are looking good. That's a color combination I really want to play with at some point.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Libby said 👆🏼. I enjoy knowing what you are working on and where you are going. Glad to hear the good news about Stevens. I'm particularly interested that someone is a professional editor. It amazes me the number of errors I catch in written material these days. Sometimes it is obvious that the only editing done is from Word.
ReplyDeleteBoth you and Stevens are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt results.
Excellent news from Friday's surgery! Recuperation always seems so slow, huh? And teal is great with so many colors, I wonder how a multi-color teal background design would work. Something to think about.

Glad Stevens is doing better. Your garden path is lovely - but!! I am drawn to your teal(not the color) and red ( the color) quilt!! those blocks are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad that the test didn't show anything untoward for Stevens.
ReplyDeleteGarden Path is wonderful - it certainly lives up to its name.
