Hi quilters! As I am laying sick in bed, I’m missing my hobby. I can quilt a bit but just for about 15 minutes at a time. So in the mean time I’m hoping to admire some quilts or quilting on screen! Do you have any recommendations? Has there ever been a show like the Great British Bake Off but for quilting? If not, this should definitely happen, haha.

My Netflix recommendations:

The Quilters of course, love that documentary and watched it three times already

Alias Grace, a mysterious periode piece where the leading role is a quilter, loved it!

Hi everybody, I’ll be talking about this with my GI or IBD nurse soon, but I’m curious to know if anyone also has this and if you have found something that helps.

I’ve sadly been in a perpetual flare for 3,5 years now, so far only in the small intestines. My symptoms vary a lot and are quite unpredictable. There is this one type of pain that I’ve had a few times over the last 6 months, up until now always with a lot of time inbetween. But now I’ve had it for 4 consecutive days and I’m getting tired of it. I feel cramping in the upper abdomen radiating to the back. It feels like someone squeezes my guts, let’s them go a bit, squeezes harder etc. This goes on in waves from about 2 pm until about 2 am. When I push on my belly I can feel my (I think) colon like a hard cable. After 4 days of this I’m getting sleep deprived… Does anybody recognize this and/or has an idea for pain relief?

I have no constipation and afaik no inflammation in the colon. Didn’t change anything in my diet or lifestyle. We have ruled out gallstones, my GI checked a recent MRI for them.
