It has been so long since I have entered anything on my blog. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer last September and Operated on in October. After a few hic-ups I am not clear of cancer but still have ongoing hernia problems and enlarged lymph nodes.

Hopefully I will start putting photos up shortly. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me during this traumatic time.

Tumbaweeds Theme Swaps

Funny how everything hits you all at once. You are just moving slowly along and then lift comes and pow hits you in the belly.

I have been busy sewing my thems swaps and as there are so many I will just upload photos

Tumbaweeds Embroidery Swap

It sure looks like I haven't been doing any work lately. Unfortunately I got some poor health results so have been busy with doctors but there is always time in the waiting room to do some hand sewing. I am doing my very first embroidery swap. My own swap is Japanese Girls. I just love these Girls and as each one will be done in a different colour I think the whole quilt will look wonderful when it comes home. As Purple was my favourite colour I used that.



My girlfriend did my second block in A lovely Azure Blue. I bought these patterns thinking they were hand embroidery patterns but they were sent to me as Machine Embroidery Files so I learnt a good lesson there....lol

QNF Sunshine Blocks

A friend sent me some beautiful fabric this week and I wanted to send her a thank you in return so I searched and searched and found my old sunshine blocks. I looked through them and found a set I had forgotten about so I joined them together and made a small table cloth. I was very excited about the finished results. No I have to make another as I really want to keep this one myself.

Tumbaweeds Round Robin

This is Betty's round robin I did before I did Stephanie's... it is out of order but that doesn't matter. I am glad to say this month they all go home. I will be posting Stephanie's on Thursday

More Theme blocks

So as you can see I have been very busy making blocks...

Tumbaweeds Theme swaps

Our group has come along in leaps and bounds. We have 40 members now and so many swaps going it is a little hard to keep up with them.. I feel as owner I need to join in on all of them to see the work coming through. So here are the blocks I have done since my last posting.
