Just thoughts

Hubby's sister was visiting here and I was unable to post and also did very little sewing. We fetched her as she is now 72 and unable to drive such long distances anyway. She came on a trip to see all the places that she used to go to when she was growing up in this area. Very nostalgic. Took her back this morning and had tea and cake and then returned home. It was awful as I would have loved to do some shopping but hubby was in a hurry to get back home. We love having visitors but also having the house to ourselves after a whole week of visitors is also great. I am on a diet and having guests is not easy. but I willl persist with it this coming week. Not a very strict diet but just to get too loose a bit of weight. I will now be able to get back to my sewing this week and stitch up a storm. The week was too long without all my sewing to keep me company. We the patchwork group is now finished with all the squares and stuff for the last of our mystery quilt which is named "the torture mystery quilt" and it was really torture to make all these small pieces and use a lot of new techniques. Thanks to D for all her hard work to make this mystery quilt so interesting. She even cut the fabric pieces beforehand so it does not take so long to get the squares finished. So next Thursday all will be revealed and I cant wait as I did have to do a lot of machine stitching which is not my favorite hobby.
