Big hugs Geneva, hope your mum's comfortable.
You certainly produce lovely work under stress, the shibori quilt is especially gorgeous.
Your canvas work is fascinating Luann, the colours are lovely.

My dogs name is Peggy (peg legged due to running out of willow). Old man gave me a willow weaving class as a present. I'm now angling for a mosaic one to make a piece for the bus shelter (arbour).

Show us your flamingos Geneva

You are in my heart and my thoughts, Geneva! I'm glad you're making time to spend in your happy place. Your work, as usual, is incredible!!

Unfortunately not, just the kudos. Still it has got xmas pressies sorted
Still love looking at the design, and still wondering about making it full sized....

Congratulations Rosemary! BTW, how's your mum doing?

Thanks for the warm thoughts everyone. They make me feel better.

Wendy, I had to convince Horace and Maude that I wasn't taking their picture to put out into internet space where someone would photoshop them into a compromising situation. They are so picky! Horace is the head heenyhonker of the International Order of Odd Fellows and Maude is a Worthy Matron, so they work hard to keep their personal lives without a hint of scandal. (I think this is why my children wanted a dog!) Here are Horace and Maude sitting by the soon to bloom hibiscus plant. The large pink flowers that will bloom accentuates their beauty.





hahaha... laugh or go crazy.... I'll be binding the hugs and kisses quilt today. Take care all, geneva

:cheer: :cheer: Well they are pink or just blushing at having their pic taken. I was wondering if they ever entertain.
Dibi Steamtrack would love to visit and get acquainted.



Bit dirty but habits are clean. He has to stay behind the henhouse, he's facing eviction by my old man.

Bugerit! hmy: :angry: I missed the closing date for entering FoQ this year - fussen, wussen, dussen! :evil: Too busy concentrating on Izzy’s prom date :dry: . Oh well, I guess it gives me longer to finish the quilt :whistle: :lol:

Mum is feeling better, she spent just over a week in hospital, but they have worked out the problem( blocked artery), then kicked her out with lots of tablets that seem to be helping, and she still needs some other scans so they can decide which solution to use for the long term. Hope to go visit next (as opposed to ‘this’) weekend.

Also keeping fingers crossed for Izzy as she has an interview next week to try and get into art college for the next two years instead of Sixth Form at her current school. (It will make sewing tricky, but mum’s are gifted like that :P )

[lotti]

Rosemary, sending healing thoughts and strength for your mum. hope all going to be good soon. will keep her in my thoughts.
the best of luck to Izzy for art college - yes - sewing with crossed fingers is a bit tricky - but with a good imagination and lots of determination it is all possible - will do the same!

Wendy & Geneva - love your garden mates - yup keep them happy and safe

everyone: hope everyone finds lots of good things to enjoy and can find happy places to retreat to to gather strength when the untoward appears. hugs to all!

I expect that - no matter how professional and hard-working Justin and Ricky are - a lot of 'non-urgent stuff' will have to wait. The boys need time to sort out their life once that horrendous fire around their hometown is out.

Izzy all grown up

Not much quilting or patchwork going on here but I have done a small piece of kogin embroidery and finished it!


All the best to my American friends on their ‘divorce anniversary’ day :P

[Lorchen]

What a great picture of Izzy!

We’re having a quiet ‘divorce anniversary’ day here I expect it will be noisy after 9:00 PM this evening.
