Merry Xmas Happy New Year - Not totally OT
Hi, its been a while since I posted, although I try to catch up with the
group when I can. I hope you all had a great holiday season. Mine was fairly quiet but enjoyed all the more for that. 2008 was a mixed year. My brother was diagnosed with throat cancer, but got through all the treatment pretty well and is back at work now. I had 4 months off work to look after him, but managed to get promoted from an Acting Level 4 to a permanent L4. I also got 3 quilts made - one for me that I didn't like which became a Hug for my SIL, one in satin for my daughter, and the third is a wedding present for another SIL. I lost my QI last January. He was a 17 year old Siamese and it was his time but it has taken a while to get to the point where I feel its OK to have another one. So today I am going to meet a young lady cat who has been at my local vet's for a month or so waiting to find a new home. I'm a bit nervous about it but I do miss having my quilts inspected. And, today I begin the quilting on the wedding present. It's a QS with panels of multicoloured dresden plate on a white background set on point, alternating with plain white panels and royal blue sashing in between. The border is strips of the same materials used in the dresden plate. I will post pics when I am done - hopefully in a week or so cos the wedding is on 17th. So I need a QI to put the seal of approval on it. Hugs and Rainbows to all who need them - QI's included. Heather in West Oz |
