This week I finished off my going around all the applique quilting on my Civil War Bride Quilt and I have sewed on the binding, but not yet hand sewn it down on the other side. I will want a cooler day when I can spread it out.

A lot of progress on Trail Mix and all the blocks sewn together and now I am working on borders ....
I had a couple of friends over for sewing and did a load of Half Square Triangles (144). This next week I hope to press them all and then cut again with the Quick Curve Ruler.....
The next quilt is pinned and started. This is a smallish table topper which has been sitting in the Quilting Queue since 2018. Lovely little tea cup embroideries.
Another 10 rows of crochet done... no picture as it's just the same as last week but longer. At the moment it is manageable in the evening and not too hot. A nice project to do whilst watching the crime drama's we enjoy.
An update on my daughter is that major surgery will happen in the next few months. A lot of waiting, worrying and tests and appointments but we are more hopeful about a good outcome than we were at Christmas. My way of coping is hiding in my room with some sewing to do and a book to listen to.
Righto, Gotto Go..... try and get a few more of those blocks cut.....
Have a lovely rest of the week xx

Busy busy hiding away! Looking forward to seeing finished Civil War Bride and you have made great progress with your Trail Mix. I am wondering what is going to happen with all those curves... Hugs xx
Sending good wishes to your daughter for a good outcome from South of the Border, Fiona! Looking forward to seeing Civil War Bride in all her glory.
More wonderful projects being worked on Fiona. That is good news that your daughter at least has a better outcome to be hopeful about - worrying & waiting is the very worst. xx
Well done on your quilting finish. Love those teacup stitcheries and the fabrics look so pretty.
So glad to hear some more positive news for Debs. xx
Good for you to have some positive news for your
DDs illness. Great to have your sewing to do and audio books to listen to.
Well done on CWB and will be a beautiful one to see finished.
Sweet little teacup topper.
You are busy with some beautiful projects, love the Figtree fabric table topper, I'll look forward to seeing that one off the frame and bound. Best wishes to your daughter.
You have some beautiful projects to keep you occupied Fiona ... sending positive thoughts xx
Sending healing wishes to your daughter and take care of yourself.
Is it the third week of Jan already?.. Hmm... almost the 4th now that I think of it! Praying for your daughter - good that you can get into the sewing room and work on all of your lovely projects to take your mind off things xx
I am sorry to read that your daughter requires surgery. I had no idea she was ill, must have missed the post. It is always distressing when our children, even though they are adults, are seriously ill. Very stressful. Many healing thoughts to you and your daughter. Gorgeous projects have kept you busy.
Lots of progress is being made on all your projects. i am pleased that they can provide a distraction for you as you wait for news re your daughter.
Dear Fiona, what a magnificent quilt your "Civil War Bride" is! I wish you much joy in finishing it, and above all, all my best wishes go to your daughter. Warm regards, Viola
P.S. I'm really looking forward to seeing the half-square triangles shaped with the French curve... very exciting.
Hugs
You have been busy. It must feel so good to finish Civil War Bride. You’ve been productive with Trail Mix too. I love the soft colours of the table topper. Let’s hope all goes well for your daughter.
