I don't think I should talk about the past week too much - let's stay on a happy note! My shoulders? - let's just say I had some fairly decent sleep last night - was sadly mistaken and don't see my surgeon until next Wednesday and I am choosing not to speculate about the outcome! I have a computer up and running, now let's cross fingers - I have an exchange camera Olympus E-PLI with inbuilt flash - seems beautiful, but again, I am too frightened to be too optimistic!.jpg)
Down to business - I had some applique pieces prepared for GT&SB - here they are and two fat-quarters I bought at the show - along with a donkey pattern that was it!

Another block finished - without too much difficulty I might add - perhaps I will become a quilter again!.jpg)
I had seen this gorgeous book around in Blogland so ordered it - I am thrilled - now to decide which blocks to use for a small rug. I have a lovely range of DK wool!♥
I am going to lunch today with a few Girlfriends! - really looking forward to that as I am not quite the socialite I would like to be these days. Oh, when will I get to drive that car again? Again, enjoy your weekend, maybe a little stitching and crocheting for me. Off to have a little browse at your Posts - hope everyone is fine and happy!

You really have had your challenges lately. So happy to at least hear from you and know you are trying your best to keep your spirits up. I haven't seen the crochet book before. Looks like a great one.

I love the applique block. I'm sorry you're still having so much shoulder pain. Enjoy your time out with the girls.
Hope your shoulder gets better soon but my experience is that it usually happens later rather than soon. Love your new work -- if we ever get home from this trip I plan to do some sewing -- I think Monday will be my sewing/quilting day. If "we" are truly retired I should be able to have one day - right?
Lovely block! Our hugs and prayers go with you as you approach medical issues! Keep patting fabric and enjoy your new book!
A wonderful block Lurline! Good for you! You may just become that quilter again indeed! 8-)
What a colorful looking book! Enjoy! 8-)
Hope you had a wonderful lunch visit with your friends!
So nice to hear from you. I hope the doctor has good news for you. Hugs and prayers.
Glad that you showed us that crochet book...where did you order it from? Hope you are feeling better soon!

hmmm hard to get it alltogether sometimes when life throws up curve balls, but you are are a lovely positive person Lurline, so I know that you will get there. I hope the visit to the surgeon goes well, and he has good news for you. (shoulders take time to heal, so let it rest and don't be too hasty and overdo it!!)
Hope you are not in too much pain & the shoulder can be mended. Love that GTASB block.
Praying for you and your shoulder over here Lurline. Your gtasb is gorgeous. I still haven't started block 1 yet! xo
Lovely, lovely applique! That book looks yummy too! You'll have to show us the blocks you end up making. I love to crochet too, but right now I'm busy knitting socks!
Love your block Lurline and lets hope the gloomy days are all behind you now.
Oh dear Lurline! I'm so sorry to hear of your unpleasantries. I do hope that they are behind you.
I'm glad that you have been able to do some sewing ... beautiful as always.
I too haven't had much computer time and my bloglines is overflowing.
Please no reply is necessary ... It is always a pleasure to visit your blog and I look foward to seeing some crochet blocks.
Here's to more lunches with girlfriends!
Hope this week is a better one for you! I have that crochet book too.
You might be a fair few miles away... but will be thinking of you x x x
