As said, in my previous post, very little quilting happened
last week. Brother-in-law from Namibia
arrived on Tuesday to see mother-in-law, staying in the same city as us, as
she’s been a little under the weather lately.
As life goes, when he arrived, she showed no signs of the ailments she
complained about which we kept him informed off, so he might just be thinking
that we were lying to him. Legal excuse
or not, it was good having him over for a visit and he returned home this
afternoon.
I had an amazing weekend while the men were either playing
golf or shopping for Mother’s Day to watch free Angela Walters’ videos on
Craftsy and learnt a lot by just listening to her instructions and seeing her
stitch designs out.
Unfortunately my sewing machine had to be sent to Johannesburg
for a check-up as I’ve experienced some problems with it, so even longer
without being able to quilt anything.
It is also one of a very few times where I’ve completed a
project without already having a new “must do” or “must have” quilt in
mind. O yes, I have enough fabric and
patterns but just nothing that really screams “make me first!”
My friend Celdri, the one who brought me fabric from New
Zealand, recently went to the USA and I was fortunate enough to get yet another
gift pack. I am such a lucky girl.
For Mother’s Day we went out to lunch on Sunday with the
whole family and Big Man truly enjoyed his rib.
This little face says it all.
I had the binding of my All Stacked Up quilt sewn to the
front of the quilt and while visiting with brother-in-law I finished the back
by hand. Even though I used every
possible scrap I had with very little planning of the colours, I think this
didn’t come out too bad.
Beautiful!
