Last night was July FNWF with Cheryll and friends Where on earth has the year gone
Last night I did a little stitching on this Slowly getting there This will be a long term project
Then I sandwiched one of these tops that I whipped up in the last fortnight
Two weeks ago Hubby had to go into hospital for an ERCP which was supposed to be a day procedure, but he had a slight bleed so much to his discust he had to stay over night
He went in quite well and came out feeling very ordinary to say the least
Anyway I digress. The Hospital found me a bed for the night in Centenary House which is a Rotary sponsored project for patients and family
What a great asset this is I had a lovely room with my own ensuite All the rooms have quilts on the 2 single beds
Talking to the manager she said they have a new wing with no quilts
... So what was I to do but volunteer to make some
Here is where the motivation kicked in I had a purpose
July brings a spate of birthdays in our family so I made some cards
My niece is one of the birthday girls and has just bought a new house so I made her an oven mitt
The beds in my room at Centenary House
