Love Those Homespun Fabrics

A nice stack of homespun fabrics, half yard cuts found on eBay last year.  DH "gave"  them to me as a Christmas gift.   Also found a nice smooth muslin to use as a background fabric (Roclon). 
The plan is to turn these homespun fabrics into star blocks and maybe churn dash blocks too.  Some folks may find these fabrics boring, not me! Scraps left could make some nice 4 or 9-patch blocks mixed with other muted prints.  
How far will half yard cuts go?  LOL-  I'll see and let ya know.

Neighbors mare had a little filly two weeks ago.  The mare is an older Quarter Horse breed.  The baby really pulled her down, at one point she was laminitic. I went to visit the day after the filly was born. OMG, the mare looked soooo bad then.  She is looking 100% better now.
It's fun to look out front and see this cutie.  I know when mare and foal are out and about cuz our old Mooser gelding nickers to the pair when they come nearby.  Makes me want to raise a foal too, but with only geldings on this little ranchette, it ain't gonna happen.  Been there and done that, lots of work.

Visit with my doc last week gave answers to why I've been so tired.   The blood pressure machine kept giving very different results so an EKG was ordered.  Long story short,  the paper graph showed periods of no peaks and then small blip marks followed by normal peaks with repeats.   My goodness now the dizzy spells and shortness of breath I've been experiencing paint a picture.  My heart skips several beats then flutters to get going into normal beats, all this repeating over and over.  (((sigh)))
I chalked symptoms up to meds and the fibromyalgia plus asthma that another doc diagnosed.  
Now I'm waiting for a refferal to have a cardiologist administer a chemical stress test. Oh joy.  Meanwhile I'm taking it easy and won't fret. Just gotta wait for test and results then ask lots'a questions.
