Sadly my Dad was taken to hospital during that time, and left us at the beginning of August, a very difficult time for whole family. But we are slowly picking up the pieces. I want to say feeling normal again, but I don't think one really does feel the same after losing a parent. It's really put a damper on my wanting to quilt, but thank goodness for the friendship of the quilt groups I belong to, their support has been needed and welcomed.
My Mum is visiting my sister in Australia, and I am most envious of her being able to visit the Brisbane Quilt and Craft Fair.
Daughter C is leaving next week, also to Australia, on a year's working holiday visa.
The best news for last - Daughter T, after working on a quilt for a family member, and making lots of sample blocks based on this blog has had two baby quilts commissioned by a friend. Means I get to see a lot of her on weekends, as she still doesn't have space in her flat for sewing.
To all the quilters out there who blog their work and process - a big thank-you!
And almost forgot, we have a new baby....
