Let's start again!

 It has been a few months and still I'm not back to doing any applique. I'm still seeing my physiotherapist weekly and I'm faithfully doing my exercises. But the clean sewing room is getting to me.

I did have the orchids to spend some time with and this one was the first  to bloom.

I have never been good at sitting around and if I could not work on some applique, maybe there was something else I could do. The word rag quilt came up and that's all I needed. Next time pictures of our first sewing day.

Over the next few days I'm planning to add a few more workshops to my list and also add some more quilts to my web site. And I will update my itinerary for the coming months. And I will try and be blogging more regular, as I have something to share.

I love amaryllis and try and save my bulbs from year to year. Sometimes I'm success full, other years not. This one has 6 flowers on one stem and 4 on the other.

It is worth the time it takes to get them from year to year. Last year I kept some of the small bulblets and they are doing well, but will not be blooming for a few years. It is not exactly a fast project.

The orchid is one of my oldest and is a pretty yellow.
Here are Jonas and Evelyn with the ragquilts their moms made for them.
