We had a lovely weekend of sewing and quilts. Chloe got on with a quilt that she started quite a while ago which is really beautiful. I LOVE it. She now just has the edges to sew and it is finished and joy of joys it is to live in my house for now. How lucky am I! The above photo was taking by Ed on his phone. It is such a lovely photo and captures Chloe's preoccupation when she is sewing.
We went to a quilt show over the weekend where we saw some stunning quilts. They were amazing - so much work goes into each one. I have come home with a kit for a tiny, tiny quilt picture to make. I feel that I might manage that! Chloe was very inspired to keep going with her quilt making. I think it is a good job that she will be quite well payed when she is working as quilt making is not a cheep hobby! I will need to stick to little quilts I think! However my knitting has been going very well and I have finished Chloe's tank top which she is pleased with and will be perfect for wearing over shirts for placements at the hospital. My cardigan without sleeves which I started to knit for wearing in dialysis is nearly finished and will be useful for colder summer days. I love - making!
This week - I am having coffee and lunch with friends, cooking and sorting with another friend, going to Stroud to see Kitty and Shauns new house,AGM ing flower arranging and bible study, plus plenty of cooking, sewing and knitting and maybe a bit of tidying and ironing thrown in! . A full and happy life with no hospital appointments hopefully! I am nearly at the countdown to our holiday which is in 2 1/2 weeks time. I am very excited. I still can't quite believe that I will be able to go and stand by the stepping stones listening to the bleating of sheep and the trickling of water, surrounded by mountains. It was my 'go to' place at the worst of times and soon I will actually be there again. I am hoping for a bit of beautiful sunshine if possible too!
I hope your weeks - whatever you are doing are full of joy and a bit of sunshine too.
