Whoohoo! I'm about halfway there on The Raffle Quilt - really enjoying it but it is quite time consuming. I basted it all by myself, so much to my pleasure - I think you know my left arm doesn't work - so a sense of achievement!
I have ruled up half of
PollyAnna and will hand quilt her with Perle thread - it will be lovely to do on cold winter evenings. I used a
Frixion pen - not for the faint-hearted, but a clear, neat and easy way to go!
Very briefly - Nurse Lurline has three patients at the moment, 93 year old Mum, DH had a seizure last Sunday night, so no driving for three months, and
DS broke his thumb while working on a rig out in the Indian Ocean. He had surgery Friday evening and all is going well. I am letting all this happen around me and moving along in little steps with my quilting, a great diversion. I hope you are all having fun!
