I am so blessed with so much love and good fortune surrounding me and mine! It is with a very positive attitude I am now facing trials and tribulations again - DH, Ed and I are waiting for a conclusive diagnosis and prognosis on a health condition he is experiencing and I really hope we receive the results by the end of this week! 'Til then, I know he will have thoughts and prayers from so many - thank you!.jpg)
I had a wonderful weekend planned and I will say it all turned out wonderful even though I missed the first day! Stitching friends all enjoyed a great retreat at St John of God Shoalwater Retreat Centre - a great venue on the beach on the west coast of Australia - pure indulgence!
Usually I take handwork to retreats - this time I took my basket of Kaffe's and machine stitched this flimsy. It was a great diversion inspired by one of Kaffe's designs from one of his earlier books - it turned out exactly as I envisaged, quite a large quilt and when quilted I will hang it on my family room wall to brighten up a rather dull space in my otherwise bright house. I have spoken about my quest for colour and it seems to be happening..jpg)
There has been quite an injection of blue into a very lilacy-pink quilt - maybe a blue striped binding cut on bias - we'll see!

Yes, 6 years old today - Byron and Heidi - my babies are growing up - I have told them both I need more baby grandchildren now! Unprompted, that dear wee boy put his arm around his sister's shoulder for this pic! See why I love them so much!

I love the soft colors and low contrast in this quilt top. It is beautiful--for me it says "serenity".
