Despite a big hiccup, I made progress this week. More on the hiccup later in my post. In the meantime, here is what I put on my to-do list last week:
- Work on the plarn bags. –cut more bags
- Keep filling in plastic canvas squares for more blocks. –got all of the blue blocks filled
- Sew the x’s on the flannel squares. –done plus a bit more
- Finish the jigsaw puzzle when at home for the weekend.–done!

Let’s start with the jigsaw puzzle. There is a piece missing and since there were no notes on the box I don’t know if I dropped it or if it was already missing. I looked under the table and desk and in the bags around but didn’t find the piece.
Once I finished the puzzle I got out a trivet to work on. I got a start on this one while camping. I placed it on top of a finished one to show the size. I hope to make a lot of these to put in my eBay store. They aren’t quick to make though.
I did get the x’s sewn on the green flannel and then went on and got the first 2 rows sewn and clipped. Much smarter to clip as you go than to wait until the end as I did on the last one (and still have not finished clipping that one)
Lastly, I did find some yellow at home. I really didn’t want to miss yellow since it’s my favorite color and the color for August in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Here is where the hiccup occurred as well. I was sewing along then blacked out. I got myself to the couch but my heart was pounding out of my chest. I called 9-1-1. Very scary. My heart rate was in the 240’s and stayed there for quite some time. I got my first ever ambulance ride. Thank the good Lord it wasn’t a heart attack, but not sure what caused it other than maybe my anxiety issues. I see a Dr. today for post ER visit and go from there.
For this next week I have a short list:
- Work on the trivet while at home.
- Finish the flannel rag quilt.

I’m so sorry you experienced that heart episode, Marsha – I imagine that was really scary. I’m glad the EMS people took good care of you. My blood pressure was super high at the dentist last week – lots of anxiety there, too. Your trivets are so interesting – they look relaxing to make!
So very sorry about your heart episode! That had to have been so very scary. I’ve got some heart issues too that my doctors are working through with me. I hope you get your answers soon!

Heart issues are never not scary. Hopefully the doctor can find the root cause. You got lots done even with the surprise ambulance ride.
