It was immediately enjoyable to be back to quilting class this week and being inspired by my talented friends.
I have decided that quilting is warmth,fun and love

Lynne has made theses quilts to pass on for use at  the Women's Refuge .

Lynne has this one under construction also, love these blended fabrics.

Val made this pretty baby blanket.

cute little animals.

Myself I have 2 projects happening .One I  planned to have finished a few weeks ago .It is nearly done.
The other one cut and ready to sew.This one is a charity quilt I am making for my grandson to raffle for funding for his trek and 2 of his friends to the remote villages in the Himalyan  Mountains to Lihi (2840 alltitude ) Trekking with the non profit charity Hope Alliance to do work to improve the lives of the children in the villages  by renovating and building structures and education initiatives in November .They are working hard to earn money after school as have to pay for donkeys to carry tools and equipment and their air fares etc .

Sad Times.

It has taken me a while to post this but there is something I need to tell you.
I'm saddened to tell you this as my husband Ray passed away 3 weeks ago now due to Pneumonia after suffering for 12 months of struggle due to complications after surgery.
God gently took him home peacefully with his family at his side.
I will miss him dearly after 57 years together from 16 years of age.
 Those we love never truly leave us.

Thank you when there are things I need to say, Someone to share the bad times with and enjoy the good times too.

Back in the sewing room.

Hello Everyone,
Hoping this post finds you all happy and well.
After getting back on here I then had to leave again as hubby went back to hospital .He has been in for 3 weeks this time doing inpatient rehabilitation getting him walking again and gaining strength..
So I am getting a little sewing done. Yeah !! Also starting back to my weekly sewing group of friends on a  Tuesday.  Finally starting to get back to normal, It's been a long time.

Started putting the blocks together for Chaos in the Courthouse, It is made like a Log Cabin block and half a Courthouse Steps block.

It takes me longer sorting the colours than piecing them together.

I have sorted 9 blocks and have 21 to sew .

One thing the last year has taught me ,I never take each day for granted anymore.

Plenty to do now getting my wool and project sorted for winter .

Nearly Autumn and will be glad of some cooler weather.
Happy sewing week .
