As I sat this morning I looked back on the last few months to see what's kept me busy and away from my blog, and from visiting your blogs. I had knee surgery, arthroscopic, in the hopes that it would fix the clicking, grinding and bone rubbing. It didn't, I now need knee reconstruction. While visiting the orthopedic surgeon he also told me that I need to have shoulder surgery to repair a tear.
This beautiful bag arrived from
Peg a couple of months ago as part of the PIF, in the middle of a breast cancer scare. Fortunately that's all it was a scare. I did thank Peg privately, however I wanted you to be able to see her beautiful hand work. Just perfect for carrying around my stitching.
The Queensland floods hit my son's (Luke) area, so lots of phone calls to make sure he was safe and ok. Just got over that when the cyclone hit the area where my brother and his wife live.
In between all of that I did manage to find a little time to put eight of these place mats together for Jenna. Thank goodness for stitching, it has been the only thing that has kept me sane lately.
Yesterday I spent the entire day in my sewing room, I'd forgotten how much I'd missed it and how much I enjoy it. I digress I spent the day in there stitching on the last of my PIF that I owe
Bonnie. Today's plan was to get it close to finished, my sewing machine has other plans. The darn thing won't switch out of bobbin winding, think it needs a trip to the shop.
Last night I started on
Allie's sweet bird stichery. It will be perfect in a frame for Tayla's room.
So that's brought everyone up to speed.
Happy Stitching.
Linda

Sure hope your knee gets all fixed up for you...we miss your gorgeous quilts!!
well, for goodness sakes..you have had quite a few moments in the past months...glad the scare was only a scare..sorry about the knee and shoulder...and hope all is well over the pond... glad to see you back and hope you stay put..
Hope you can get all fixed up soon (body and machine!!)and you will be more comfortable. The placemats are gorgeous - love the stylised rooster.
I am so glad, it was 'only' a scare. That can take away a lot of energy too!
Love the bag Peg made for you and the rooster is very elegant.
Aren't we lucky we have this wonderful hobby and are connected to so many lovely people through it!
Take care, lieve Linda!
You really have been through it, Linda, I'm so glad the scare was only a scare. I love the bag that Peg made for you, and I love your rooster! I hope you get your knee, shoulder and your machine fixed soon, it's not your sewing knee is it?
So glad you've found some time to stitch in amongst all the ups and downs.
Hugs

Hi Linda! I'm sorry to hear about your knee surgery and the possible need for two more surgeries. You poor dear! I too had a breast cancer scare in January (had a stereotactic needle biopsy) and am grateful it was all clear. I've been praying for all Aussies impacted by flooding and cyclone Yasi. It's all so unbelievable. I'm glad you're finding stitching and sewing a distraction. That's why God gives us these gifts.
