Aw Renata and Nancy thank you, yes my head is spinning and luckily with lots of ideas. I hope I can live up to your expectations and do the rest of you justice.

Rita's work is always so impressive it's so exciting following her. Your quilt is set as my desktop now Rita. Anyone want a look

Wow, Rita, you are a superstar!!! Good luck, Wendy! I know you'll produce something that's incredible!!

Nancy

Congratulations, Rita! Wow, 25 days... I guess that's well within the 30 days I had predicted... I remember when you did Chocolate Decadence for IFQOI... I was amazed back then at how quickly you pulled that one together so I was confident that this time, with CW, you'd be done in record time. You didn't believe me, did you, Wendy? I am truly impressed, Rita. Good on you!

With photo in hand, your wheels must be turning, maybe spinning, eh, Wendy? I hope you are as excited as the rest of us were to start our part of this journey together. You are so wonderfully creative, have a great sense of color and composition, I so look forward to seeing your masterpiece too. Fair winds and following seas to you too, dear Wendy!

Rita I am speechless - you have been sooooooooo fast. You definitely take the prize for the shortest length of time having the quilt. It will be 25 days if you post tomorrow or 28 if you post Monday. The quickest before that was Nancy with 41 days. Very well done.

Wendy are you panicking yet

Ahem! 'Scuse me for interrupting.....but.....drumroll please......I AM FINISHED MY CHINESE WHISPERS QUILT.

Wendy, I have sent you an email with a photo. The real thing is to follow tomorrow or Monday.

Lois, thanks for the update from Limbania. Good to know she's over the worst of it now and staying healthy.

Hi Limbania, sad to hear of the after effects of your treatments. That's really rough after all you've been through. Great you've fought the cancer away. Hope you'll feel we'll enough to come on for a chat soon xx

Thank you Lois for the update

Limbania,

Lois, thanks for posting about Limbania. I have been wondering about her too. I will keep her in my prayers.

Hello All,
I had been quilte concerned about Limbania. I don't follow Facebook so it felt to me as if she fell off the face of the earth. Anyway I sent her a personal message a little while ago. I recieved a responsed yesterday and she said I could post it on the Forum.

Dear Loise,

Thanks a lot for your message, so glad to hear from you. Hope this finds you and your loved ones healthy and happy.

I miss you too and everyone else at the forum, I just don't find the time to get there for now, but hoping to be back soon.
Decide to decline radiation and tamoxifen (a pill that the oncologist recommended me to take for 10 years) as a way to prevent recurrence. One of the many side effects from both is cancer, go figure. So, now I'm more committed to a healthy lifestyle (juicing, eating, exercise, stress management, etc) and continue with natural therapies, supplements, etc. Doing more research, there's so much information, lots to read, interviews to listen to and more to address the physical, mental and emotional side of cancer in order to prevent a recurrence and get rid off it, if any happens to still be around, although all the latest tests don't show any signs of it. Still dealing with neuropathy in my hands and feet from chemo. Also mobility issues in my right arm as a result of surgery and the 2 lymph nodes that got taken out. Having lymphedema therapy and acupuncture to get it resolved. Now, my hair is back! Looks and feels like might be wavy/curly. I used to have very straight hair. I'm praying that I'd made the best decision and for this to be the beginning of many healthy years to come. Hope all this makes sense. Seems like the "chemo brain" is still around, lol.

On the "stitching" side, I'm finally starting to sew again. I started a quilt for a very dear young friend, she's only 16 and has stage IV of a very rare cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma, seems this mainly happens to females around 15 year old. Rachel is utilizing only natural treatments to get healed, since chemo and radiation don't help. Another girl, after over a year on chemo just died recently from this same kind of cancer. Anyway, is a long story, but thankfully Rachel is doing pretty good.

Ok, too much about me. How are you doing? What are you working on now? Are you ready for the holidays? Thank you again for thinking of me and sending the message. Please, if you'd like, feel free to share this at the forum.

Love n hugs,

Limbania(;

Thanks,Wendy. Just remember, you don' have to go superfast when you get it. I'd rather not see it until after Christmas.

Not quite ready to post yet so Wendy you can breath for a few days more.
