O me of little words . . .

'Banter' is not apt description of contributions to the Blog of late.

Circumstances, i.e. hospital visits - attending to the sick - running about like a headless chicken - have demanded my full attention hence pictures of quilts Ancient and Modern in place of text.

I shall continue to bombard you with an eclectic selection of craft work until things have resolved and sick relatives are restored to rude health.  Health, at any rate.

Meanwhile, am beavering away - administering Beechams Powders to all and sundry - mopping brow(s), including mine own, serving calf's foot jelly and copious quantities of of beef tea to invalid(s) - attaching Border and Appliqué(s) to the Autumn version of Singing Garden Quilt. 

Not to mention washing/ironing and feeding the birds. 

Oh, mustn't forget scrubbing the step with donkey stone as good Lancashire housewives are expected to do.

Am having fun playing with Blog -  lots of wonderful colours but I'll try not to get too carried away.  Tra la la la . . . . 

I do hope participating quilters add their own original appliqué touches to SG. Make it personal and much more exciting.
