Delight
Aaaah….Can you hear my big sigh….
I’ve finally made it to the machine quilting. Phew. Maybe this quilt will actually make it to England on time.
I love machine quilting and after having had a fairly stressful week, a gentle hour at the machine is really doing me the world of good. Sock knitting and gentle machine quilting are incredibly soothing. Advent and Christmas activities are pretty much back on track – which feels good.
The goal is to have all presents to be posted off done by the end of the weekend, along with all the Christmas cards and party invitations. It’s pretty do-able I think. It feels good to have a goal and to feel that I’m making progress.
Time for a cup of tea,
Helen
PS. Thank you so much for all your kind words and sympathy about my mother’s robbery. I think shock has finally set in a little at the moment and she says she can’t think straight right now, but she’s a trooper and I’m sure that in a week or two she’ll have forgotten most of what has happened – there are some advantages to having slight memory loss after all!

Enjoy your quilting!
I must learn to enjoy machine quilting. I get very tense, hunching my shoulders, clamping my jaw and rolling my tounge.

My goodness, that looks like a very sophisticated sewing machine! I have always opted for one that’s as basic as possible because I’d be scared of it otherwise. I seem to be a bit of a luddite at heart! The quilt is fantastic. You always choose such wonderful colours and patterns in your fabrics.

Glad things are going well with the quilt and that you`re on schedule. I missed your poor mum`s robbery – I`m so sorry to hear that Helen and relieved to hear she is doing better.

Glad things are getting back to normal.I am still in shock that this could happen to a kindly old woman. Is someone with your mom?
Glad the sewing mojo has returned.
