On a possitve note, our week of persistent rain has fled, for good, I hope. Everything is drying out and the massive pile of washing in the laundry is shrinking. Always a good way to start the weekend.
And an exciting note: I won tickets for two to our local Fortune theatre to see a play called Heroes. It was wonderful: funny and touching. It's 1959 and three WWI veterans sit on the terrace of their old peoples home in France, reminiscing and making plans to escape. A 200 pound stone statue of a dog plays a significant part too! Also, I had never been to this theatre, which was converted from an old church, many, many years ago. I really must try to go more often.

I did start the week off on a very satisfying note. As I've mentioned before I also like to quilt. Before I started writing, I had finished a quilt for the second son and one for my daughter, but my poor eldest son has had to wait far too long. On Sunday afternoon I glued myself to the kitchen table until it was finished. I now have one very happy son!
Here's my quilt threesome.

Next is a quilt for me and hubby!
Have a great weekend.
Wow! I love your quilts. I used to quilt and cross-stitch too but sadly I lost interest and patience. I do have a beautiful throw I made, which goes over my lap during winter - it's so cosy and warm.
ReplyDeleteHow funny you went to the theatre. Tomorrow night MIML and I are going, for the first time, to the local theatre, in the old town hall! The play is called Curtain Up For Murder - now how could I miss a play with a title like that!
Enjoy your weekend, too.
I have some fabric waiting for me to make a throw! One day.
ReplyDeleteYes, the play certainly sounds like your cuppa tea. I hope you have a wonderful time.
Love the quilts, such a precious heirloom for them.
ReplyDeleteI love the theater but its just a small town one but still so good to see a play
So, so cute! I love the cat quilt! I wish I had the patience to quilt or even sew. What's funny is that I started an embroidery project in 2010 and have YET to finish it. Ha!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE the new blog background!!!
Two years for an embroidery project is such a short time in my books! :) You'll get there!
DeleteGlad you like the new look. It was your blog that inspired me to change. Thanks!
