After my big day in the city yesterday.
I’m still humming the songs.
I wasn’t going to over do today
It was raining hard. You can’t see it here

But you can see it on the blinds

As it’s the kings birthday long weekend. Hubby was home.
I decided he could help me pull the work table away from the wall so I could pin my quilt together ready to sew

The backing was made by sewing two large pieces of fabric together. They’re different colours but close enough as to not look awkward.
The batting was from a big roll I was gifted when someone was moving and didn’t want to take it with them
So far this huge quilt hasn’t cost me. Single cent.
Gotta love that
Meanwhile this chair, which was bought to use in the meantime while I purchased myself new sewing chair
I think that was closed to 15 years ago
Can’t rush these things
It’s not great for my back any more.
Hubby asked me the other day if I needed anything from office works. I said yes. A new chair please

I received this snazzy looking chair
I didn’t want to start quilting. Just pinning it together took an hour and a half.
But I really wanted to try this chair

I found a small owl pattern I had. I’d made a few for the children who were affected by horrific fires.
I’ve found a charity that accepts those Izzy dolls and the trauma teddys to be sent to the ukrain.
As I’m currently working on two big knitting projects I thought these owls would be just as good. I can definitely make quite a few quickly
I went through my scraps. But it wasn’t a big pile as I’ve used it all up.
But I remembered the fabric I received from a lovely old lady that gets her hair done by my daughter’s mother in law.
MIL thought of me when the lovely lady asked if she knew anyone who would like it.


I’ve now ironed,and sown pieces together to make them big enough to cut the pattern pieces from
I’ve already traced and cut out some owls
And I’ve got lots more ready, in the correct size, to cut out more.
The charity that collects them isn’t that far from me. So instead of sending them I’ll actually drop them off
The Izzy dolls I had made are now in little plastic packets with a note telling the person who finds them, that they’re not lost. Just left for someone to find so we can spread love and kindness.
I have left a few around the city and on a couple of trains.
I really hope the ones that find them, really need to feel like they’re not alone
