A SAD WEEK, a quilting SAL & a HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Unfortunately last week my FIL passed away. Only 2 weeks after finding out he was ill again.

He was moved into palliative care in a home days before his passing. Luckily my MIL was moved into a room into the home too. At least now she won't be alone. She will have people to talk to, no cooking or cleaning to do and hopefully will go on some outings and participate in activities.

We know she will be looked after.

It is a 10-11 hour drive to see her but we will do it from time to time.

So,, GOOD BYE DAD.

Now for some happier news.

I cut up all these pieces and put them in an envelope for my friends birthday.

I am sharing a SAL with our group and thought she would like to join in. 

When I was cutting mine out I did hers as well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAXINE.

Have fun..

Here is the link if you want to SAL too. I made this last year and thought it was so cute. I am making another one this year. Sarah has some wonderful designs so go and take a look.
