More Quilting
Hi Everyone,
It's been a couple of weeks again since I last posted ... I've been busy, I guess, but not so much, really, I spose (that doesn't even make sense !!!).
I have been busy with my quilting and crocheting, along with the usual housework, laundry, shopping, socialising.
I have been working on a Snake's Trail Quilt, which we are being taught in a workshop / class that I attend. Here is a photo of how it is looking so far ... I just finished sewing on the borders, so now all I have to do is put on the batting, backing and quilt it ... a lengthy process, but it will be well worth it in the end.
I have also gotten back into a Kaleidescope Quilt that I began working on last year (incidentally, this quilt was taught in a class by the same guest teacher as the Snake's Trail Quilt). So far I have completed 12 blocks ... I want to make 16. I have another 2 cut out, am sewing them together now, then need to cut out another two. Here is a photo of the blocks I have completed so far, laid out on the fabric I will be using for the sashing. It should look amazing when it's finished. I hope to use it on my own bed !!
The weather has been a bit ordinary during the past few weeks, good weather for inside activities, but not much else. Very cold standing at my school crossings ... I've had a few soggy wet days, not pleasant at all !! I managed to pick up a nasty cold, which fortunately hasn't lasted very long.
I went out to dinner the other night with some girls I went to school with 30 years ago. It was lovely catching up, to see how much people have (or haven't) changed. The food was a bit ordinary, won't go there again. But we hope to repeat our catch up on a regular basis, I think.
Baron and I also went out to dinner with some other friends the following night. This was a lovely evening, the venue was great, the food was lovely, the company was such fun.
Baron, Elisabeth and I went for a drive last Monday (it was a public holiday here), and ended up in Walhalla. They were celebrating the Queen's Jubilee, and the town was chockers with people ... it was a shame, as we couldn't explore properly. Must go back again another time, as it is a very interesting town.
I went and had a CT Scan on my back on Thursday. I have an appointment with my Doctor on Monday, so hopefully we can come up with a plan to ease the sciatica pain I have been having at night / in the mornings. It is improving, but it would be nice if it were gone (wishful thinking, I reckon, but we'll see !!) ... it would be nice to get a decent night's sleep again.
Anyway, not much else to write about at the moment, so I might leave it there.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone, and stay safe.
Take care,
