I’m still working on the quilting on my Under the Sea quilt. You may remember that I reported last time “no more unpicking” but…….. just didn’t like Plan B Serpentine stitch after all. You know what it’s like, if you don’t like something in the beginning, you will never like it. So it got ripped out, and I went for the look of gentle little eddies coming up from the sea floor instead.
Quilting, Plan C
Gemma has been a big help keeping all those marine creatures under control. She wasn’t going to let a single one swim away!
Watching those fishies
Poor Gemma didn’t have a good day at all yesterday. It was time for her annual WOF and she was not a happy cat at all. We made the mistake of getting her cage out early in the morning, hoping she would get used to it. But no, she remembered the last time she was put into the cage and put up a bit of a fight, which really stressed her out. Then in the car and down to see the vet.
Waiting for the vet
The vet gave her the once over, then the indignity of a thermometer you know where, a cat flu vaccination, and a worm tablet. She didn’t like all this medical attention one little bit Everything was fine, Gemma is a beautiful cat we were told, keep doing what you are doing with her, she is in excellent condition. Once we returned home she took herself into time out for a while, to recover from the vaccination, and by evening was back to her normal self.
And talking of things medical, I’m happy to report that I had an appointment with my oncologist recently. Four years on from my diagnosis of breast cancer, the annual mammograms and MRIs have been coming back clear, so everything looks well. I’m still taking my daily pill, and will continue with the mammogram and specialist appointments for a wee while yet. I’m so grateful for the medical treatment I have been receiving, hospital treatment is delivered free here in New Zealand, unless you decide to go private instead.
So that’s been my week, I still have a few fish blocks to finish quilting, plus the borders. With any luck I’ll get the binding attached too.

I'm glad your checkup for the cancer was good - keeping taking your pill and I hope all will be well.
Sorry Gemma had a little fuss up!
Happy to hear that you received a good report on your medical checkup and tests. I like the quilting on the block.
Glad you had a good report. Medical care here in Canada is the same as in New Zealand.
God bless.
Pleased all medical checkup were all good...
Oh and also Gemmas..
If you'er not happy with the quilting unpicking is a must. Do hope Plan c is good.
I'm so glad you AND the cat got the all clear. Love your stitching too.

I’m glad to hear that you also got a clean bill of health. Your Plan C is looking good.
Looks like Plan C is a winner! Hope that quilting continues to go well. And I want to say "Good on you!" about your fight against breast cancer. I know I haven't been diligently following you, so I miss that you too received that dreadful diagnosis. But it sounds like it's going well. Yay! Every mammo and oncology visit puts one on edge, doesn't it? I know about that little pill, and the challenges IT brings. Even after being off it for two years, the side effects are daily reminders of what one has been through. It's lovely that all of it is at no cost to you. I can't imagine.
