This quilt is almost complete. Its a warm comfortable quilt. The amount of time required to complete a quilt is staggering. I would never have imagined.
I have spoken to my wife about doing a post every Monday for @needleworkmonday. She will try and make it happen. There is no time for her to do it this Monday, today. So I will assist in the first one.
There is a lot going on here. And I understand why she couldn’t do a post for today. Between the holiday, kids being here and of course having to take care of me during this stressful period I do understand why the caution.

A shoutout to my freind for the recommendation, @brittandjosie .

I should have kept some kind of track on the amount of Steem I have added to my account since the down turn. The low Steem does not bother me at all. Since I joined steem back on the 1 st of February I have had one objected. Increase SP and build relationships. Its my opinion these two things go teoghter and are the pathway to success.
Relationships are not built over night. They take time , commitment and support.

Stability is a draw back to people getting involved in crypto currency. Let’s face it the stock market has people questioning investing so why wouldn’t crypto. As time goes on the young will accept it as if it was second hand as they replace the generation before them. The development of this new technology will not reach its potential for another 2-5 years. Just like the way computers came into our homes.

I grew up with a slide ruler and when calculators came into being they were forbidden in the classroom. Now computers (laptops) are the norms. The near future is going to be something to behold like no other time before it.

Tomorrow not only starts cycle 4 but the results of the CT scan. Big day ahead.

Beautiful! People don't realize the amount of work that goes into a quilt. except other quilters, ;-)

The quilt is amazing - and as sewing is not natural to me (i only started to learn) I can hardly imagine how your wife could make such a piece of art while caring for the family... wow. Tell her my compliments.
I am not sure if I interpreted your word right, that you are currently have health issues - if yes, then I send you healing vibes and hope you will recover fast <3

Thank you I will let her know. And yes I was just diagnosed with cancer. Your support is welcome 🙏 and helps

I love hand made quilts. Your wife has done a fantastic job. Both are beautiful. I pray that you receive the victory over your current health challenge. Be blessed.

Thank you and I will share this with my wife. It means a lot

What exchange do you use.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks her quilts are amazing!! I hope she does. It may provide some inspiration.

I hope things go well tomorrow :)

She is a very modest woman. Proof that opposite attract. Whaaahahaha thats funny.

She enjoyed making them and it comes out in her quilts.

I hope so too. 12 hrs to go

Welcome to needleworkmonday! Your wife has made some delightful quilts. I especially like the large one with the way that the block's link together to create the diagonal lines of separation.

That one came out really nice

Hello @wolfhart! I would like to welcome you and your wife to #NeedleWorkMonday! Thank you so much for taking the time to post for her and give us the honor of seeing her hard handiwork! Quilting is an absolute beauty and a handful of work. I tip my hat off to all of our quilters! She did an amazing job on both of these quilts, they are beautiful. I’m not sure what else she is adding to the second one but it looks completed to me! Of course that’s coming from a crocheter and beginner sewer and not a quilter!

Please let her know whenever she is ready and has her time to share with us she is more than welcome here. We aren’t going anywhere ;) We love seeing projects come to life and most of our sharing time consists of showing the journey.

I love what you said about the market. Stability is definitely a drawback for many. I too believe in a few more years crypto will be the “norm” and not so foreign and more and more people will realize this is the way to go. I’m just glad my husband decided to start us on early and I am actually enjoying learning about it and finding one’s to invest in now.

My thoughts and prayers for you as you fight and triumph over your battle. Many blessings to you and your family ~

That 's a great quilt! My mother is bringing a quilt that she has made for the kids when she arrives later this week! It is an art that has lost a bit of traction, but I gather, like knitting it is coming back into vogue?

Does your wife have a different account?

No and it is something we are discussing. It will require a laptop,smartphone or another device that we do not have in order for her to access an account.

Grandma bring a homemade quilt, thats special.

Everyone wants things now and a quilt takes time to complete.
Well done by your mom

dear wolf what a great #needleworkmonday, i want to say to queen quilt I LOVE IT, and she has some hours in this one, i hope my fellow needlework girls love it going to tell in the discord that she entered the tag today.

As for tomorrow, YOU CAN DO THIS.

She has a quilt for next week already started for next Monday
I have to figure out how to at least get her on discord

Good luck today at the doctors 👍💪

Its 5:19 am I have been up all night. Can’t sleep. Happens every time when chemo starts.
I’ll sleep through chemo, what the hell

YES what the hell gotta sleep right 😉

Yep
I will get me one of those heated blankets, turn the tv on, recline the chair and zonk out. Hopefully I will not snore. LOL and disturb the others.

SNORE AWAY YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE MAKE THEM HEAR YOU 😂😂

You are There as a spokes person

Many years ago I decided to make a quilt. Sewing straight seams isn't one of my talents. The pattern was supposed to look like birds touching beaks in the center. Mine did not look like that. Then I decided to make just one square and turn it into a pillow. Sad pillow. Sad story. I know how much time I spent on that one square, and have deep respect for your wife, her quilts are beautiful!

I will pass this on to her. She works hard on them. I need to get her a quilting sewing machine instead of this generic machine.
