It’s been a big week for me … lots of things happening – so please forgive me for not answering the comments from the last couple of posts, I’ve been doing so much lately I hardly know if I’m Arthur or Martha LOL. To start with … my Dear Mum finally got in for her knee replacement operation last Monday, so that’s why I’ve been a little bit quiet in blogland. Gosh I have so many blogs still to read, I feel like I’m missing out on all the goss lol!! Mum’s doing really well, she’s been walking a few steps with the physiotherapists and although she’s in some pain she’s coping with it well. She’s such a trooper my Mum - Bless her heart :o)!!!
The day she went into hospital it was my quilt group’s friendship day, here’s part of the display we had ….. The larger quilts on the table at the front of the pic are some of the workshops we've done in the group. The small quilts hanging up at the back of the pic have been made for the Neonatal ward of our local hospital … they are our chosen charity for 2009/10. All of these little quilts, I think there are about 25 or so, have been made by members and will be given to the hospital in May.
I also found some irresistible fabrics at my local patchwork store … don’t you just love those cute little owls???!! 
I’d better get myself off to bed … I’m going to the Craft Expo tomorrow and I want to be wide awake to enjoy it!!!

Glad to hear that your mum is recovering well after her surgery. Your quiltgroup has made lots of lovely quilts. It is wonderful that they can give quilts to the Neonatal ward too. Your bear quilt is very cute!
Have fun at the craft expo!
Hope your mum is 100% soon. The fabrics you bought look excellent and a pat on the back for the baby quilt. Are the quilts to be used for premmies or sadly for the little angels that dont survive?
Good to hear your Mum is coming along well Joy and what a lot of lovely quilts to look at. You have got some gorgeous fabric to play with too :) hugs Vicki
Quilts arranged like that make such a happy site. Best wishes to get well quickly to your mom.
I hope things continue to go well for your mum.
