Finished but need sleeves:
Also being finished is a quilt both Jackie and I have worked on - it's being finished in Ireland ready for the show . . . My Small World. I am SO looking forward to seeing it in real life!
I got this pack of lush fabrics from Lisa's Jim for my birthday - he's a good boy!!!
On Saturday I attended a wet felting class at Chertsey Museum - and made this poppy
And on Sunday my oldest friend (should I rephrase that? The friend I have known for the longest time) came over with a suitcase of her late dad's shirts. Linda and I have known each other since school age and I knew her mum and dad very well - a lovely couple.
Anyway, she and mum have cleared out dad's clothes: most have gone to a homeless shelter, some jumpers have gone to the grandchildren and the rest came to my house. We turned a lovely jumper into a cushion
And are in the process of turning the first 1/4 of the shirts into a patchwork for mum (and will gradually work on the rest for Linda, her sister and her daughter)
It was an honour to be allowed to be involved and lovely to catch up with what the two families have been up to!
