Cannot believe we are half way through July<br />
Last night I joined Wendy and friends for some stitching fun<br />
I finished my Love and Hugs quilt<br />
This photo is just the quilt top<br />
Finding it hard to get a good photo of the finished quilt It is quite large<br />
I did all my blocks 10" instead of 6" because I wanted it to fit the queen bed The extra border gives it some overhang<br />
Very happy with it<br />
Hope you all had a good nightretdairyqueenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08834659886574468759noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339414913405494284.post-62386870095794412382020-07-05T10:03:00.001+10:002020-07-05T10:03:26.184+10:00July FNWFI have been missing in action for a while Just being slack<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both lovely bags but Iam sure I would have got more use out of the larger one</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My daughter took a liking to the larger one and being the nice Mum that Iam I let her have it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such a sacrifice to now have to go and make another one</div>

I finally finished my Christmas wall hanging (Though this is not the finished version)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last night when we had our second monthly sewing night I put the binding on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This has been a long time in the making , just doing a stitch here and there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pattern was sent to me by Maria when I had my knee replacement five years ago</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Iam very happy with it</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A small way to help in these troubled times</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today was the day my Darling niece was supposed to get married</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has been so upset that hey had to cancel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They thought of just having a small wedding but both sets of parents would not have been able to attend with the number restrictions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully things will get back to normal some time soon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay well all of you</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have had a stressful week</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Mum was in hospital in Frankston for her angiogram to fix the blockage in her leg</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They kept her there a week and fasted her every day in the hope they would send her to theatre</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One night they did send her but sent her straight back to the ward</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any way finally on Wednesday night they did it and sent her home the next morning</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sister is staying with her for a few days</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next week Hubby has to go to Melbourne for a shoulder replacement</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will be an awful time as hubby only has one arm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have booked into what looks like a very fancy hotel near the hospital so that I will be there to help if necessary</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Iam doing my best not to worry to much</div>

<div>
Yesterday this little man celebrated his second birthday It has come around so quickly and he has become a very important part of our lives</div>
<div>
Yesterday my Mum finally got to see the Cardio Vascular surgeon and by last night she was in Hospital waiting for an angiogram</div>
<div>
The past few months have seen my sister and I put our lives on hold to take Mum to various appointments GPs, Wound care nurses, podiatrists, ultra sounds, x- rays, blood tests and the list goes on</div>
<div>
Visits from the District nurses every second day to dress her toes</div>
<div>
Apart from the DN everything else was a waste of time it seems</div>
<div>
At least now she is in the best place for her</div>
