Sunny weekend






The weekends go too fast.  We made the most of the sunshine - gardening, washing, picking flowers for church and hanging out on the deck.  It's early Monday evening now and I have just returned from an afternoon at the medical centre after Josh (12 years) stood on a glass bottle at school.  He needed seven stitches for two deep cuts and now he is home for the rest of the week!  Would you believe me if I said that our children had never had broken bones or stitches and yet now we've experienced both, only two months into 2012!

As far as sewing goes I have managed to complete another five blocks for The Farmer's Wife quilt-along so I have finished February's set.  The blocks are #72 Railroad, #69 Practical Orchard, #70 Prairie Queen, #84 Spool, and #81 Snowball.  Next on my list is my monthly make and some blocks for Charlie's quilt.  Just as well I have signed up for Friday Night Sew In, I have plenty of projects to choose from!  Wendy

  17. Wendy, did you grow those flowers in your yard? They are absolutely beautiful! So sorry about Josh's accident, hopefully there will be no more trips to the doctor for either Charlie or Josh! Your blocks are just beautiful, and so great that you are keeping up, I'm not with those and I miss them! :)

  20. Lovely picks -- I did do a double take when I saw the foot in a bandage... I was sure it was a damaged arm you had in your family!! Hope he's healing well. Love your FW blocks.
