Daily life and having fun!

Well I have had a busy week and needed some stitching time this Saturday afternoon.

Hubby has to go to have the second cataract removed by specialist in Port Elizabeth and I have to go with to drive back as he is not allowed to drive after the treatment. 

So I have to wait in the car,  I am not allowed in with him, because of the covid regulations. Grrr!!! anyway I have now prepped the hexi flowers and leaves to be appliqued and it will keep me busy for a while. Having fun with this wall hanging and changing it to include lots of my favorite techniques. I have added lots of hexi's and stars. Using all left overs of other projects I completed recently. I am just adding stuff as I go along. Next will be the small flowers to the leaves that I embroidered, but am unsure what I will be adding. Then onto a border, quilting and binding. 

Saw this on our walk today in someones garden and just had to have a photo of the beauty of this flower.

A few completed gifts!

Made this for my sister, I found the shell on Kelly's Beach and also saw the idea of using a shell on the internet. Not easy but got it done!

Made this scrappy bag for my sister too!

Embroidered this for my sister, she loves anything sea!!!

Well I made another one with the shell once again found on Kelly's Beach and had so much fun doing this one for a very special friend of many many years!!!!

Block 22 done and block 23 nearly completed!!!

This is block 22 done

Just close up of a heart in block 22

This is a favorite of Benjamin our oldest grandson
and he just loves John Deere tractors
at this stage of his life! Must say
on second thoughts he has not swapped
his likes in life very much so far.

This is Liam the youngest grandson, favorite "Cars" also at this
stage of his life, which I am sure will change
a lot.

This is Matthews, which is the middle grandson
and his favorite at the moment,
before that it was snakes. I remember
that he loved frogs for many years
and also tortiouses and and, I am sure
that this will also change a lot.

This is the photo that I chose for the
crazy quilt. It was taken in Durban 2013.

Well now I am nearing the end of this journey I am very excited to say

that I now have only two more blocks left and then I will be joining the

whole lot together. I cannot believe that these have taken a lot of my time now for nearly three years now. But must add that this has taken my into my own life journey with lots of healing while embroidering away at the special blocks. The next stage will be joining them together and then embroidering over the blocks to make it into a whole quilt look. Also in the process my best friend Anna is going to help with the outlay as she has inspired me all the way through this journey and also thanks to her for all the inspiration behind making this crazy quilt.

My projects now!

My first block of the crazy quilt and getting along nicely
