Birthdays and Up date on my Mum

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
Yesterday my Mum finally got to see the Cardio Vascular surgeon and by last night she was in Hospital waiting for an angiogram
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
Visits from the District nurses every second day to dress her toes
Apart from the DN everything else was a waste of time it seems
At least now she is in the best place for her

Rainy Day

Today we have had some nice rain
Hoping it is going where it is most needed
I have made 40 QAYG blocks, which I hope to get in the mail this week

Today I have put the top section of Girls Day Out together

It is so pretty
I have really enjoyed doing this quilt and will kinda be disappointed to finish it, though excited that Iam nearly there
Here is a photo of Danielle taking a rest from fire fighting
(picture in wrong place This computer is smarter than me)
She was home for a few days but has gone back

QAYG

I have put away my GDO quilt for the moment to make some quilt as you go blocks for the victims of the bushfires devastating our country at the moment
These blocks are quick and easy to make and a good use of scraps

They will be sent to Jan Mac of http://sewmanyquiltstoolittletime.blogspot.com/
Jan will put them together and distribute them to people who have suffered great losses in these fires and I hope will bring them some comfort to know that people really care
My grand daughter left this week to fight the fires in East Gippsland
So proud of her

January 2020 FNWF

The first FNWF for the new year Looking forward to seeing what everyone gets up to this year
I finished the last block in my Girls Day Out quilt
Then I started putting the middle row together I thought all the embroidery was done only to find there are flowers to applique on the corners of the cottage
I have trouble with my fusible web not sticking so Iam going to embroider my roses
I think they will look ok
We are smoked in this morning
My heart goes out to all those affected by our current bush fires
Stay safe every one
and Happy New Year to all
