Update on some old work
The Laidley Show

A break!

 It has been a week to forget and this coming week is looking just as bad!

Just too much to do, to little time and my mind is not working properly.  It started with a bad reaction to medication and went downhill from there, plus I was trying to fulfill commitments whilst I was ill and couldn't think straight.  A recipe for disaster.

This coming week doesn't look too good either but at least I'm not trying to work whilst my body is poisoned.  I have a party up at Toowoomba mid week and I will stay with my daughter overnight.  She has no reception out on the farm and they are off grid so I think I will just go with the flow and not try to keep up with anything.

BUT I have finished CQ 5.  It is all ready to hand over and I am pleased with the outcome.  This is a lap sized quilt and is completely  made from left-overs.  The centre was a block I embroidered back in 2021 that didn't fit in the quilt I made.  I think this will be a comfort quilt to go to a nursing home.

My quilting is getting better.  I am sticking with my walking foot and geometric designs.  Very simple.  I outlined the centre block and then stitched radiating lines.

I am still stitching with my old machine which is rather ponderous in comparison to my newer machine.  But I will eventually get to free motion, but not for a while yet.

Now onto CQ6.

Looks good, even if it was made during a difficult time!
