Quilting as a distraction

I had to drop Chesty off this morning before 7am and wasn't allowed to pick him up until 3pm so I spent the time in between quilting 3 wall hangings for my aunt and trying not to worry about him.

Chesty's test showed that he does have a collapsing trachea. Structurally, it's a Grade 1 which means the obstruction is mild when he's at rest and not having an episode. They're going to treat him medically and they put him on two new medications so we'll see how it goes. He's completely wiped out from the anesthesia and has been sitting next to me or on me since we got home.

I'm not sure how someone who doesn't quilt for a living can end up with a Christmas rush however, I'm slowly but surely working my way through it. Of course, both my Mom and Aunt have one last quilt each they want done by the beginning of December.

I haven't published a list recently but you can bet I'm working my way down my current to do list and checking off each item as I finish it. The two quilts I shipped to Mom on Monday and these wall hangings were high on the list and I'm relieved to have them done.
