Yes, hello again - even though I haven't achieved much in the way of stitching, things are progressing nicely. I have started a little project - thank you badskirt for the inspiration! I will tell you more about it when I get more done and hopefully that will be today. This is really fun to do, so I am hoping all the lattices line up when stitched together!
The second circle of my Circle Project - I wasn't happy with the background on the one in front - it was losing the star effect - so last night I reverse sewed and am now ready to put the petals back on a more significant background - I'm really enjoying this - simple applique - I'm hoping to make a nine-block quilt! 
Just a couple of fabrics I bought from Funky Fabrix in Brisbane - just love that little white one - cute little girls - oh, there is so many beautiful fabrics about!
I won the Mumma to this orchid in a raffle a few years ago - she has been divided up and blooming beautifully at the moment - a little bit of cheery colour in the wet, cold weather!
Things are moving along with Ed - the big operation is scheduled for 5 August - a double bypass and replacement aortic valve - I'm trying to fatten him up and the doctor said he must exercise to regain a bit of strength before the big day - goody! now he can empty bins, unpack dishwasher, feed the dogs, lol! More sewing time for me! No, not really - it has all been a big scare and I mustn't be blase about it!
Dear Louise has a big birthday today and we celebrated with the Girlfriends! at guild on Tuesday - Happy Birthday, Louise! Off to organize to sew now!

Lurline, you always have the best projects. I especially love the circle one with the petals. Do you know if that is a pattern I can get in the USA and if so can you share the name? I wish Ed the best during his operation.
Lots of hugs.
Those lattice blocks are wonderful! Love the circle game blocks too! Good new fabrics. Keeping Ed and you both in my thoughts and prayers for good results and quick recovery. (I'm like Fiesta -- I'd love to get that Circle Game. Fabrics and all. lol!)
Looks like you have the hang of that first project from badskirt. I tried it, but my piecing lacks and I couldn't get anything to match. Love your circle applique. Is there a pattern? My prayers to Ed for a speedy recovery.
I will be sending prayers your way on August 5th. Beautiful fabrics in your latest projects.
Loved every part of your post today and so glad that you are keeping busy during this hectic time. Beautiful circle blocks and was interested in knowing the pattern name. Sending you strength to help through the operation. Judy C in NC

Beautiful projects, Lurline.
Love your orchid! I have one of a similar colour, but it is still buds at the moment.
All the best for Ed and his operation.
A belated Happy Birthday to Louise!
All the best to both you and Ed. I remember when my father had his quadrupal by-pass operation, he felt so much better after it. I truly pray the same for Ed.
Hello Lurline,
Love your circle project,very interesting.
Good luck and best wishes and lots of prayers for Ed's operation.
Happy Monday

Can you get out and walk with Ed everyday before his surgery? It will be your job to continue that walking for his rehab.
He's getting a second chance. You and Ed will be in our prayers, I wish you both all the best.
Happy sewing, keep those hands busy.
wow amazing work
