So busy!!!!

Life is always busy here, and just loving every minute of it!!!
Still quilting away at Neil's quilt. The first half is already done and now starting on the other half then I will be quilting the final blocks around the edge of the quilt. Can't wait to get it done. Have so many ufo's to get done this year.
Also loving the cool weather although it does get very humid. But not that
exhausting heat that we had in Clanwilliam.
Have been very sentimental these last weeks and wow!!!! Sometimes I wonder how I got through all these years making some huge stupid mistakes and also how on earth I have learned from them. Wish I can stop my kids and grandkids from making some mistakes too. I have these mass of quilting magazines and don't seem to have time to just relax and enjoy them these days. I am trying to get all those other items done. My days seem to get shorter by the day. hehehehe
Now we also have the virus on its way and having to cope with that and also the government wanting to use our hard earned pension monies is causing a lot of stress for us pensioners here. We have been saving as much as possible but somehow seems to never be enough but we will survive. The world is really going mad these days. Nobody ever thinks of taking life slowly and enjoying the simple things in life, maybe its Mother Earth getting us to slow down and enjoy and appreciate life and family.
Well thats enough for deep thoughts and may you all keep healthy and enjoy the family and life. Huge hugs to all!!!

Neil's Quilt!

I have now done the center of the blocks. Moving on and quilting on the one side. Its looking great and the white cotton just makes it wow!  I will be doing the quilting on the navy only, so that it shows. That is why l love big stitch quilting, My quilting shows. One puts a lot of work into quilting the quilt, so why not make it stand out too. Choosing fabric and pattern takes time and when quilting it should also add to this quilt!

Thaankful!

Found a very nice fish añd chips shop nearby us.  Its my Birthday month and I started a new small cross stitch patte...
