Oh , we are so very fortunate - Ed improves daily and he is now down at Waikiki Private Hospital very close to home - what a relief and blessing - no more hours of travelling and parking daily. I really would like to talk about all things quilty while the going is good - all being well, I will bring Ed for a home visit tomorrow to watch rugby league on Foxtel - whoohoo!
See my lovely issues of Vignette that arrived yesterday - 'authored' by our Aussie Leanne Beasley of 'Leanne's House'!
I'm impressed - a happy, bright little mag with great stitchery designs and other delights, too. Congratulations, Leanne!
Now I mean it this time, lol! - the very first block (I think!) for my new quilt - I just love it and it is one of the blocks from The Circle Game by Amitie - Jennifer Kingwell! I chose quite a different technique - to applique two circles then the petals on top - kinda creates the circle with a big flower on a star - agree? I have an overall design for the quilt in mind and I daresay it will evolve as I progress. It's lovely and portable and that suits me beautifully at this point in time! Oopsy, a bump in the light mauve petal - I'll correct that, not that it matters as quilt police are not really true!

Oh dear Lurline, I am only just catching up.
So pleased to hear that Ed is improving and you are able to visit without all the travel.
A lovely bright block to lighten your day.
I'm only just catching up to Lurline but what good news to hear! It definitely deserves a good footy match!
I'm ogling over your Vignettes....I've ordered mine weeks ago and they still haven't arrived.....you've reminded me to check up on my order!
Take care
Good to hear the news getting better all the time. Take care of yourself...I had the pneumonia and collapsed lung in '09 and Doc kept me under wraps last winter....seem to be going ok so far. But do take care of you too.
We'll keep praying for Ed.
Now you take good care of yourself and don't get run down.
I'm glad the quilting therapy is helping you relax, your use of color is always just right! Happy sewing
Great news about Ed! Lovely block too! :0)
What a lovely block! Where did you get the pattern? You really did a great job!

So glad things are improving for you both. May Ed enjoy the rugby and that you manage some stitching of that gorgeous block.
Glad to hear that your Ed is doing better, and can come home for a visit...
Nice block! 8-)
Hugs and love for all of you, but especially for Ed. As someone who has care given for friends and family for decades, I truly know how deeply exhausting and emotionally draining it is. I also know you are one of the most loving, giving, and caring people on the planet and everyone is so lucky and blessed to have you in their lives and caring about you. Big, big hug for YOU, Lurline. Many hugs!
