Rainy Tuesday

Well at least we had a couple of nice days over the Bank Holiday but now back to wet and cold can't wait to get to the sunshine in Greece, 12 days to go but with the state of my knees especially the right one which also has ligament damage I will probably have to spend the two weeks under a brolly on a sunbed round the pool with a good book then struggle down to the restaurants in the evening, just have to do it!!!! See the specialist 2 days after we get back and am expecting to hear I need both knees replacing, perils of getting old. Anyway I am still sewing did a blanket for my son's new puppy, a brown labrador they have named Dottie and when my friend saw it she wanted one for her cat hence the one for Smudge then I did the wall hanging which I love. Also I now have two quilts, one lapsize which at the moment I am doing some hand applique on then a bed quilt then I am going to hand quilt them both, there's a brave statement......

House Group Day

I am blogging 2 days running hope you are all impressed. had a lovely day today our house group met at Margaret Williams house and what a lovely lunch she did, salmon, new potatos and salad followed by baked meringue trifle I think she called it anyway it was delicious.  It wasn't till we were packing up I remembered I wanted to take some photos but got a couple, Ann Harris had to leave early and Helen wasn't able to make it today. I did lots of sewing and will put my photo on when finished the wall hanging. I have decided to get back into hand quilting as I am not desperate for any quilts so have the time to do it and it really is relaxing (don
