Hi, I'm Home

Thank you for all the good wishes and things went well in hospital, so I was allowed home on Friday after the bronchoscopy.  Have to see the specialist again in 2 weeks.  It's always great to get back home again.

So I've been doing some hand sewing and some more Oh My Stars blocks.


So my hand sewing has included lots of these little devils - I don't want to see another sequin any time soon, though I have really enjoyed using them on this project - to be shown at a later date.



Stars stars stars, I'm doing all the big ones first, and now I've lost count of them. Never mind.

Diamonds and Stars

I have been worrying about this glueing of my diamonds, I'm concerned that by the time I get them all glued that the glue on the first ones will be loose and I'll  have to start over.

So I have upped the ante and decided I need to do more diamonds each week - maybe even each day if I have time so I don't have to worry about such things.

So I sat down this evening and this is what I did:


10 more diamonds glued and drying.

Can't keep everyone in suspense - here is what they are for:



If you can read this, it is the Material Obsession starter blocks - Striped Diamonds.  It will make a really nice wall quilt won't it?


I must have been overworking my brain today, or I am heat stroked and in shock  - I really cannot think of any other reason I would have done this after glueing 10 diamonds!



Can you believe it??  I can't.  I think I'm sick, we've been having some really hot weather the past few days ( like 37 degrees celsius)  so I reckon it's cooked my brain!  I've cut out all the diamonds for this star for the Sue Ross BOM, and I'm not even over the last star with diamonds. 'nuff said, I need to go and lie down!!
