Happy Friday!!! It has been a little crazy week around here ... so! Sit back, and hang on for the ride haha!!
My Quilt guild was SO lucky to have Melva from https://melvalovesscraps.blogspot.com/ come and speak on her Storytelling Quilts!! it was so cool to learn how she came up with them, see them in real life, and of course!! Pepper her with Questions. It was such a great time.
I even won one of her books, and of course purchase the WWII one! My husband grabbed it right away when I got home and was entranced!!
But!! Before Melva got to speak - I spent a lot of time in the ER.
I do have to say - I have my husband and sons trained. Last Friday I got a call - *Mom. I am okay... but....* and I am so grateful he led with that. ( ps - he was okay - minor fender bender)
Then Tuesday morning I got a call *Lis - I am okay but... * and I said NO I don't want these calls anymore! My poor husband was rear ended pretty badly. He was on the highway behind a line of cars that was stopped as a Silage Truck at the front was making a left turn. So he was pretty much stopped.
A driver in a truck with a trailer carrying a tractor was going about 60 and did not get stopped, as he hit the side of my husbands car, went into the ditch , and was going so fast he came out of the ditch back on to the highway.
Here's the bad part - He was driving an ALLO Fiber truck, but the insurance card he gave the state trooper had a valid date - the insurance company says he was not paid up. I don't understand how that works - a COMPANY vehicle had private insurance out of date? Anyways - we called our insurance company and I hope to heck they pursue this guys insurance. Our car is totaled.....
Of course the car is just a car - my husband , on the other hand , is not replaceable. But he is doing okay ( minor concussion and soreness) so there's that...
Did you think I forgot about Finishing something? HECK NO!! I am on it!!
I got this pretty little Betty D Quilt finished!!! and Ms Bella made sure it laid FLAT!!
I like the outside photos better, they are true to color. and I found a pretty striped backing to use . I think it compliments the quilt well.
Today - I am starting to feel caught up from this week. So fingers crossed it sails smoothly for a few days!! WE have our Jelly Roll QOV sew day this weekend - and i Want to have fun!!!
NOW!!! What did you finish ( or not) in the Quilting world this week?

I am so glad your husband is not severely injured! I hope to your insurance company goes after the trucking company. Betty D is very cute, the backing fabric is perfect! Happy stitching and I hope next week is very uneventful for you.
I hope your son was OK? Hope your husband gets over his soreness quickly and that the insurance company will come through for you. Raspberry Sherbet is beautiful! How fun to get to see Melva in action. :)
Hope your hubby and son are both 100% soon. That stinks about the guy not having insurance. Hope your insurance company is on it.
Oh my gosh! So thankful that your family is okay.
That was a heck of a week! I hope your hubby is feeling better and there's some good news about the insurance. You definitely would expect Allo to be covering that vehicle! Looks like you got some quilting therapy in - that always helps.
I hope your husband has no lasting effects from that accident. How awful! Yes, it sounds like the company is in for some explaining. . .they could have switched carriers and hadn't given the information to the drivers. I like your Betty D Finish. How cool to meet Melva in person!!!
Oh no, I am glad nothing was too serious, but still those are heart stopping moments.
Glad your husband had only minor injuries, but even that is scary. Hope you get no more calls like those!! The quilt turned out great, and I really like how you quilted it.
What a scare! So glad your husband is OK. Congratulations on another great finish. Loved the clothes pins, too.
Ouf! What a week!! Hope that's all the bad things 2024 had in store for you. I also hope that husband and son are doing better by now. Congrats on this finish of this raspberry beauty. I love the background print (or should I say the alternate blocks). It's just perfect. Have a great weekend. ;^)
I'm so glad your husband is okay. What an awful accident and a mess to deal with insurance and buy a new vehicle. I hope insurance covers all the costs!
I love, love, love you quilt, especially the colors you used. It's a beauty!
Thanks for hosting Finished (or not) Friday.
I'm so glad your husband is okay, despite the (not so) minor injuries. How terrifying. Pretty quilt, but my favourite is always Miss Bella - I could look at photos of her all day!
Oh my what a week, Alycia. I wish your son and hubby the best and I hope that all works out with insurance.
It was a fun evening, and I feel honored that I was invited. <3 Speaking prayers over your son and husband AND that you don't get more similar phone calls. Enjoy the books! Blessings, M
Hope the ER trip is just a memory by now! The new quilt is so very pretty! Nice work!
Yikes! Twice in one week! I'm so glad you are all okay. Good job getting your pretty raspberry pink quilt all finished with the perfect model posing on it.
Wow! Two calls in one week about accidents is not a fun week. So glad Your Guy wasn't too badly hurt. Those kind of accidents are so scary. Love the finish, very pretty! Hope this next week is much, much calmer.
I'm very glad to hear that everyone is okay. Hope the insurance problem is resolved quickly.

EEK! What a week for you. Glad all are ok-ish. And kudos for you on your finish. Love how you quilted it. May the res of the month be calm.
