K. Szymaszek Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Sandra, I'm sorry this is happening to you. I know what your going through. When I was diagnosed last year I was in a kind of "deer in the headlights" kind of shock. I had a hard time doing everything. The one thing I could do was piece a quilt. It was like therapy. I know it is hard concentrating right now, but maybe there is something you love to do that can help you get through. I will be thinking of you and praying for you and your family.

IBQLTN2 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Oh Sandra, I will certainly keep you lifted up in prayer, I pray that the cancer will be taken care of with the surgery and there will not be a need for any further treatments.

Sandra Darlington Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I am overwhelmed with all of your prayers and messages! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! In response to a suggestion above about doing something I love to do to help me through this time, well, I decided a few days ago to learn to hand quilt. Even though I love Longarm quilting, I love the look of hand quilting, too. My Grandmother was a wonderful hand quilter and inspired me to want to quilt. So, I dug out a few table runners that I previously pieced and tucked away till " later." I signed up for a hand quilting class on Craftsy.com and enjoyed watching the class. I am currently hand quilting my first runner with 3 Dresden Plates in a row, narrow sashing between the plates and a narrow border. It is mostly Thimbleberries fabric leftover from previous projects. I am becoming obsessed with this project. LOL. I don't have a quilting hoop or frame, so I hand basted the runner and am just working on it in my lap. My stitches are too large and uneven, but like LongArm quilting, PPP will improve my stitching. I am now in the process of basting another runner called Geese In the Valley, a class I took a year ago from Susan Shively. It is her pattern. At the rate I am quilting, I might have the first runner finished before my surgery, so I am getting the second project ready so I have something to while I am resting after the surgery. I am still unable to "like" any posts today, but please know I truly like them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineseams Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I know exactly how you feel, being a 20 year survivor. You just have to concentrate on living each day, keeping your mind on the present time. But it is really hard, and I'm sure the 11th will seem like a long long time away. My thoughts are with you.
