Hey Cathy...row in the mail from Idaho ! Looks like you have mailbox fun coming ! :woohoo: :woohoo:

I finally just took pictures of Rosemary's row I got a while back. It is great. A special idea from her area: Tour de Yorkshire.

And this beautiful row from Limbania.

I really love both of these rows, and all the ones I have received. I feel so bad about being behind. My next shoulder surgery is on the 17th. Since I am right handed and this is on the left shoulder, I am hoping I can get back to sewing sooner. I have two things I wanted to get done before the surgery. One was a wool cape to wear since my arm will be in a sling for the next 6 weeks. The other is a chef's coat for one of my GDs. She is 12 and wants to be a pastry chef. That is all she wants from me for Christmas. If I get it cut out, I think I can do it while recuperating. The wool coat is a different story. I can't buy a pattern without driving an hour one way. I think I would design it myself, but since I have this nice wool, I don't want to risk it. I will probably just make something quick out of some navy fleece I have. I will have to make 3 trips a week, into town for physical therapy, for about 3 months. I will really be glad when spring arrives!

Rosemary/Cathy - Love the 'Tour to Yorkshire' row what a fun idea.
Limbania/Cathy - What a great row love the fabric.
Cathy - sounds like progress re your shoulder, I'd be looking forward to spring too!

Hello!

Dawn, I've received your delightful package of FQs and just love them! I tried emailing you, but somehow that didn't work. I love the colours! Just planning to redecorate and tI was thinking of using salmon/peach and maybe a splash fo aqua. Thank you very much. I am going to try to find the time to photograph all the fabric/rows I've received so far - You ladies are spectacular!

I haven't posted much but I do scan the notices that come in from time to time - you ladies are busy!
Hugs,
Terrie

Cathy, here is a really simple cloak you could make.

If you use fleece fabric you won't even have to hem it just be sure to cut a curved line for the back neck. If you want it longer just buy/use a longer length. I wore a cloak to this cut for at least a couple of years when I was single and lived in London. You swirl it around and then swish one end over your shoulder so it acts as a built in scarf.

Nice surprise in the post this morning a parcel from Jen, which I photographed while the sun was shining,

before trying to tackle this lot

FiL died last Friday, the funeral will be a week on Monday. We might need to insist that MiL comes and stops with us for a few days after wards, or visits his sister - this is my mother's recommendation from when my grandad died and Nanny came to stay with us for a short visit so she didn't have to worry about the mundane things of life, like meals etc.

Cathy, Rosemary, those are lovely rows you all received!

That cloak/shawl pattern looks great, Rosemary, thanks for posting it! Cathy, I hope it helps you! A wool cloak sounds amazing! Praying for your surgery and recovery, as well. Don't feel bad being behind, we've all been behind at some point, and some of us (myself...) with not as good/valid a reason as shoulder surgery.

Rosemary, praying too for your family at the passing of your FIL. Very good idea to have your MIL come and stay; I hope she'll accept.

I hope to sew my October and November rows and get them to the post before Tuesday.....I'll report in once I manage that. I'm right in the middle of 3 weeks of absolute madness as far as scheduling goes....if I can sew over the weekend that will be ideal.

Hugs to everyone! I'll photograph all my rows together, too - they all are wonderful and I can already see how they play nicely together!

[lorra]

Rosemary,
Keeping your family in prayers during this adjustment time.

Rosemary I'm sorry to hear about your FIL. It will be nice for your mother in law to be able to have your family's company for awhile.

[genevacarroll]

Rosemary, I am so sorry for the loss of your father in law. Please take care. geneva

[genevacarroll]

Really sorry for your loss Rosemary. We are now at the Utah address, and still getting things organized. I should be able to get back on track after thanksgiving....hopefully! I love the rows and can't wait to get going on them again!
