Well if you thought I was crazy for appliqueing the Winding Ways blocks, now you will be convinced that is true. When I started sewing the squares together, I realized that this wasn't going to work at all. So I unpicked all 70 blocks, sewed the squares together without "blades" and am now re-appliqueing the blades on the blocks. The magic circles are definitely coming through this way and the entire little top will be much improved. It is a good thing I like to do hand applique.
My husband will probably have a cardiac ablation this year. He has been having recurrent episodes of atrial fibrillation for years now but as he gets older they get more frequent. So he has been participating in a trial to determine if patients should go through ablation before even beginning the pharmaceutical side of the treatment. He got randomized to the drug side first but the drugs he was given not only didn't help, the symptoms became more frequent and more severe. So they changed his medicine last week but if he hasn't improved dramatically by Tuesday, they will start the process of preparing him for the ablation. since there are only two days left for the medicine to work and he keeps careful records, it's a pretty safe bet that he will go in for the procedure pretty soon.
We have been married for 44 years now, known each other for almost 47. I certainly hope those long happy years continue starting with this, the year of the Horse.
