Saturday turned out bitterly cold in sunny central South
Africa and with having the older kids kindly asking if they could visit the
evening and then just as an afterthought mentioned that they’d appreciate
dinner, I started the planning and prepping process early morning.
While having to face my extremely cold kitchen I thought
to do as much as I can while having to be there. Soon I had almost every electrical appliance
including washing machine and tumble dryer going making the room much warmer.
My stove-top beef, bacon and beer pot turned out rather
nice and even the parrot, Meeko appreciated her share.
I was clever enough to invite the younger couple too
ensuring that I don’t have to cook two big meals over the weekend. So very little quilting done especially after
our granddaughter decided she’s not going home with her parents and stayed the
night.
With the little one sleeping rather late on Sunday
morning (a first for us; I even checked her breathing several times!) I cleaned
my Grand Quilter, replaced the needle, oiled and threaded it, ready for action.
The quilt is massive and I knew I had a mammoth task
ahead but one has to start somewhere.
