Down for the Count...

Sorry to say, I've been in bed the last two days with the dreaded lurgy...nasty head cold, slight fever, headache, chills, the whole magilla. Feeling a bit better today, but doubt I'll be back at full speed until tomorrow. So, I've been doing a little reading of everyone else's blogs today, but this post will be wimpy...just like the way I'm feeling today.

Did want to report that the In-Laws' 60th Anniversary Party was a roaring success, in spite of the fact that FIL had this same cold. He held up amazingly well, considering how yucky this thing makes you feel.

We're planning to have an outing later this week, when we're all recovered, to see The Queen. I LOVE Helen Mirren, don't you?

I'm sorry to hear you have a cold. I hope your feeling better soon. I'm glad to hear the anniversary party went well. My parents celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary later this week. Tell you parents Happy Anniversary from me.

Yes, I adore Helen Mirren (especially as Jane Tennyson!). Sadly, "The Queen" is no longer in residence at my local cinema, and I missed her when she was in town.

I am longing to see The Queen. It was on in V.O in Perigueux, but i couldn't get in to see it.

Hope you are feeling better and a very Happy New year to you.

Stop Me Before I Quilt Again!

What is this big pile of fabric and scraps, you may ask: Some you may recognize from the 10 Wishes quilt, but others are new. Yes, I've made a start on the Big Girl Quilt (i.e. queen-size) for Katie Rose. I've been so inspired by the lovely quilts Mary and her Heartstrings group have made that I decided to make one for Katie. Here's where I am -- two rows of string blocks made...four rows still unmade. I will sash these blocks with 2" sashing (don't know what fabric yet), making stars from the cornerstones (ditto). You can't really see the EQ design very well, I know...sorry. Here's a close-up of the first four blocks: Second four: Third four: It's really fun doing these. I love the colors...wanted them to be "girly" but not too bright. I will add a wide-ish border of some gorgeous fabric, yet to be discovered, I think. I'm also ratting through my WIPs and getting inspired to finish up the As Time Goes By quilt pretty soon. Of

Well, I'm going to try Tonya's suggestion and load my photos in the center instead of to the left, and see if that helps any with the spacing problems I'm having. So let's try putting up Dad's River Dreams Quilt that disappeared yesterday: Well, that seems to have worked...I think. So, let's add a couple of kids' quilts I've made over the years. Here's an I Spy for my grandkids. Can you see that I added their names, as a crossword puzzle, among the I Spy squares? Well, by gum! That seems to have worked, too...thanks, Tonya! Shall we go for a trifecta here? How about a little bluework quilt I did for my nephew. I found on-line coloring book images, printed them out and traced them on white fabric, then embroidered them in blue, setting them in stars afterward. I liked the result, and so did he: I'm on a roll now! What about one that was WAY outside my comfort zone. I'm not an orange person, but a friend in France had a baby girl. Mom loved ora

A Sad Farewell to the Best Old Friend

And so the time has come to say farewell to our little friend, Alfonse le Soot. He would have been 13 years old right about now. Those of you who have been reading this blog for awhile may remember his dramatic disappearance in July of 2008. And his equally dramatic return just over a month later. No explanation was ever found for his disappearance, but we were so happy to have him home. In late March of this year we made a trip to California, only to have the terrible news from our wonderful house-sitter, Judy, that Alfonse had collapsed and had to be rushed to the vet the day after we left. The vet tried mightily to save our little fellow, but he had experienced sudden heart failure resulting in a clot that paralyzed his hind legs. After three heart-rending days and a steadily worsening condition, the decision had to be made to let him go. We returned to Australia two days ago and today, with heavy hearts, we picked up Alfonse’s ashes, brought him home and buried him in his final res
