WOYWW...

 


Enough said....We're just not used to it are we?

I'm pleased to say we have a fan in almost every room and haven't we needed it this week?  I've still got something to share with you though...




I had such a lot of really lovely comments when I made the Fidgety Quilt for my family member who is suffering from Altzeimer's that I decided to make a couple for the folk who don't sew and who has loved ones in the same situation. This is the first one and....


...here's the first completed squares for the next one.  I have always saved anything useful for 'whenever' so I have enjoyed sorting through to find anything that can be twiddled with to make each quilt different....and of course I'm stitching everything on very securely.



On Monday I had used all three of my machines and thought they would all appreciate a little TLC in this heat so I cleaned out all the fluff [and I do make rather a lot of it!] and gave each of them a spray with lubricant on their working parts....I swear I heard them sigh :-)




I hope you are all keeping cool and drinking plenty in this heat ...and no I don't mean gin!! [you know who I mean ;-)].

Hugs,

Annie x

I don’t know what you mean…??! *grin* Any liquid is good right? It’s astonishing how much fluff accumulates in the machine, I regularly clean mine out, it’s worth it when we use them all the time. The Garfield cartoon is pretty much how my old cat Ron has been, poor thing, he’s happier now it’s cooler but that might have been cos he shed half his body weight in hair over the settee….!

Oh I love those Fidgety quilts, so thoughtful of you to create for others. And great way to use up scraps. Wishing you all a return to some normal weather and a world that needs help. Our temps are higher than normal but we have house air conditioning. Worries about animals so lots of water pumped for them A new baby calf I forgot to post but she's really doing well. Best Wishes

Hi Annie, it's cooled down a bit here today thank goodness. I bet you can guess I wish it would snow, we missed our ski holidays lots. I think they should make those dog cooler coats for humans. Loving your quilts and I'm sure they will be much appreciated. Keep safe and have a lovely and hopefully cooler WOYWW, Angela x10x

I bet those machines were so relieved to have a clean for the heatwave.
The fidgety quilts are lovely and such a great idea. You and sister Jo are doing a great job for those who suffer. Well done Annie!
Hugs, neet xx

Your quilts are such a lovely idea and it’s nice to use up bits and pieces that have been waiting for a use. Happy WOYWW. Angela #9
