Thank God its Friday

Paul and went to Hobart today. He had an appointment with the neurosurgeon. The outcome of todays appointment is another MRI and then an apointment next month with an ENT specialist to get his view on Pauls tumor. The experts will then confer as to the best way to operate.

We had a good run down and back.

Todays photo is of Paul. Its a fish that he caught late last year at LAke Barrington I think. I think the fish is an Atlantic Salmon

Windy Wednesday

I better hang my washing out. Might dry before I go to bed. Back in a jiffy. Thats done.

Paul had a call from the hospital today. Needs to be there at 11.00am on Friday. He didn't ask what for so, I don't know if its just to see the surgeon or to be admitted for his op. Will try to get hold of the hospital tomorrow and get a few more details.

Todays photo is of the results of a bag class that I did with Monica Poole in November. This is just some of the bags that were made. Mine is the pink and black spotty one.

Three days in a row

Well I'm being a very good blogger this year. Three posts in three days. A quiet day today. I came home to a nice clean and tidy house. My cleaning lady does a good job!! Paul has just called me from the river to let me know that he has caught a bream. Looks like fish for tea tomorrow.

Todays photo is of a couple of placemats that I made for two of my nieces for Christmas. Both are Amy Butler fabrics, one old from the stash and the other from her current range. I'm in a fabric collectors club at Picture Patchwork. I also made another one but forgot to take a photo of that one.

Cheers Edith

Windy Day

A very windy day here. Didn't realise how windy until I left work. Had an early start today and worked back for 30 mins too. Busy busy busy..

And I'm trying to keep busy at home too. That way I don't keep grazing when I'm not supposed to. Tonight I have cut out some Ohio Star bolcks for the quilt that I am making. Its called Tribute to Mrs Williams and it is a reproduction quilt. I purchased the pattern from Threadbear at Castlemaine.

Todays photo is of another quilt that I made from Mum. This one was for her eightieth birthday. All machine pieced and quilted

Bad Blogger and a Happy New Year

Well I shall have to change my ways and get back into posting on a regular basis. So here is my post for the day. I hope everyone survived the silly season, and didn't overindulge but if you did, I hope that you had a great time doing it.

This quilt is one that I made when I first started quilting. The blocks are hand pieced, then assembled by machine and then I hand quilted it. Most of the fabric is from material that Mum gave to me from her stash when I first started. I gave it to her for her birthday.

The weekend

I found out on Friday that I have another interview for a job that I applied for. Wish me luck. I think I will need it. The position isn't for an actual vacancy but it is for an upgrade and because it is a goverment job, it has to be listed in the gazette. So the person that is currently doing the job must reapply. The must have an edge on other applicants you would think.


TodayI baked a loaf of bread. Don't you just love the smell of freshly baked bread.

Rexi was inside for a while today. The dog is as bad as a cat. What does she do? The sticky beak decided that to look out of the window, she needed to jump up onto my work table!! She has no table manners at all.

I also made a start on a birthday present.

Managed to get some stitching done this week. This is the siggy quilt from the Perth SCQ retreat.

I have just sent off my money and forms for the next retreat. It will be held in Adelaide next April.

Cheers Edie

Wet Sunday

Yesterday was rather miserable so I took the opportunity to spend the day sewing. Ist job was to make some flying geese with some chopped off bits from a siggy swap that I did in Perth earlier this year. They started out like this.

The red and black fat quarters are my purchases from Saturday. They will be made into a table runner for a birthday gift.

The siggy squares are now a top. I also added the triangles onto a tabl runner that I had made earlier this year
