I have just realised what I have to pack into the week ahead!
An appointment with an orthopaedic specialist to try and find out what the heck is going on with my left leg, a hand therapy appointment, visit to the vet for Seamus and Daisy, have our grandson over for a morning, two other grandchildren after school on Thursday and in-between all this I will be gathering my fabrics together for the Fractured Quilt Along. Actually I have already started on the fabrics, happy with the lights all 56 of them and next week will take care of the darks.
We also have a busy weekend ahead, my husband celebrates his 70th birthday on Monday so this Saturday we are having a family and friends gathering at our place, tomorrow will be spent getting things together for Saturday.
Having a tidy up around my cutting table I found at the back a brown bag which had fallen down and wedged behind a few curtain sample books, don't remember missing these fabrics!
Some years ago I had a "thing" about blue and yellow florals and Hoffman had such a great range at that time so whenever I was in a quilt shop I would collect quarters. I had forgotten all about them, I had seen a lovely nine patch quilt in a magazine using these florals and hd intended to make one, I really don't want to go down that track now so I think I'll just cut each quarter in half and keep those and cut into strings, cut the remaining piece in half again, put them into two packets and if anyone would like a packet just send me an email, I am happy to pop them in an envelope and mail them to the States.
In my last post I was waiting for a Vireya rhododendron to open, the one with the huge buds, at last is has and I love it!
Watch out for postings when we start on the Fractured Quilt Along!

Wow... you do have a very busy week. I guess that's what keep us young, right? I've been cutting my fabrics too, for the QAL. So excited to get started and can't wait to see what everyone does. I remember a lot of those Hoffman fabrics... isn't it funny how we remember fabrics. I've got lots that the minute I look at them I remember where I was and what I was doing when I got them. I always buy fabrics on vacation to remind me of those good times.
That is a busy week, good luck with it all ;)
