One more March finish and some other stuff …..

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.March 2010 251This is the one I made ……March 2010 238with a sleepy bear on the front ;o) – YAY, another finish for March :o)!!!March 2010 237Here are some more of the quilts on show made by our members. The one in the middle won a blue ribbon at the Brisbane Quilt show last year, isn’t it stunning!!??! It’s made by our very own Jenny Williams, and she hand dyed the fabrics herself too!!!March 2010 249Here’s some more … don’t you love the herd of giraffe in the front of the pic …March 2010 250Ooops, sorry … I think the one on the right might be a cow lol!I couldn’t help myself …. I ended up buying some fabric, I just couldn’t resist this gawjus kitty fat quarterMarch 2010 257and then of course I had to get some more to go with it ;o)!!! March 2010 256

I also found some irresistible fabrics at my local patchwork store … don’t you just love those cute little owls???!! March 2010 258 I’m going to make another sashiko table runner out of these :o).
