Goodbye Mum.. Charity quilts completed with labels.

 I have been away for a few days saying goodbye to my MIL Sheila. She held on for nearly 11 weeks in palliative care not eating. She did well and it was very tiring for her. We had her memorial last weekend and said goodbye. This day was also mum and dads wedding anniversary. 


We travelled 2000 kms. in the one weekend.

It was time to clean my sewing room and get some things done.
Here is my clean sewing room ready for some stitching… 


First up was to put labels on the charity quilts that had been completed for a while.


Labels ironed on and ready for sewing.


All 12 are done and bagged ready to donate. 


Thanks to the ladies from Sunraysia Patchwork friends.

Sending a hug to you both. It’s sad, even though it was expected. I can’t believe how nice and tidy your sewing room is. Now the challenge is to keep it that way. Good job, getting all those labels on. A mighty effort by your group.

Sorry to hear about your MIL. You really traveled far to be with her.

Awe, a clean sewing space just makes you want to get in there and get sewing. Apparently you have been just looking at that huge stack of 12 donation quilts. You are just so wonderful. I feel it such a privilege to know you.
