It's All Good!

Oh, boy - what a change! Firstly, Ed's operation went very well - he's still in hospital and will be home next Monday. He has been so brave and is now talking about the day when he can play bowls again. It is hard to believe life will have some sort of normality again - well maybe in a few weeks - I'm so tired, but it is a good sort of tiredness, lol! Lots to chat about and a lot of excitement - I have been able to stock up on beautiful 4-ply wool - that is one of the good things about driving to the city each day! It will be nice not to be so sidetracked in the evenings and to get down to crochet and applique. See my circle to the right - a few dear bloggers have admired it and asked about a pattern - seeing I have modified the original so much, I feel it is my own, with inspiration coming from the original - so, I hope to be able to help you out as soon as I complete my own design and make sure it works!

My hardanger piece - it was in one of my pics and a few have been interested, so here is a better view - oh, it must be 20 years since I made this and it is still crisp and lovely after so much use!

I can't wait to unpack my gorgeous new friend - I am so excited! This afternoon I will road test it!

These are the fabrics ...

and this is the pattern I will use - I have quite a stash of of gorgeous Kaffe's, mainly 20 - 30cm small cuts, so it should make a nice quilt, fingers crossed! If you have the same, I would love to hear your thoughts on it! I hope to hospital visit tomorrow and then spend a few hours with Girlfriends! I am so looking forward to a little freedom and relaxation, very self-centred I know but it has all just been so long! Happy weekend all!
