I saw my surgeon today and had the drain and dressings removed from surgery. Tomorrow is a big day, I get to take a shower! Whoopee! I got the pathology report earlier this week and it was very good news. The cancer was in situ and a centimeter in diameter with clear margins so I feel that it is gone!! I have to wait 4 – 6 weeks before I can get fitted for a permanent prosthetic.

On Monday, my fab friends came for lunch. It was fun to have time with my quilting buddies. My husband heard us chatting from his office and told me later that it is obvious how much we enjoy each other’s company. Diane brought her new quilt, Smoke Signal. It is even more beautiful in person.

On Tuesday, Steve took me grocery shopping as I have now got to start cooking for us again. I sure did enjoy the meals on wheels that arrived from friends and my son’s cooking over the week-end.

I have assembled 6 more thank you post cards. I really enjoy this process, but now I need to get back to some larger scale quilting. Here are two of my creations:

With apologies to Mrs. Mel, here is my version of a Matchstick Moon and Nipon Moons which is made from antique Japanese textiles and silk organza.
