Sort of like clothes, they always used to be made with the extra length, tucks etc to let out as the child grew - who remembers having a double layer 2 inch hem ???? 😁
I finished this painting last week. It was inspired by a photo someone in our local Facebook photography group shared (used with permission). I've got full arm movement again and starting to get strength back, so I started a BIG (1m×80cm) canvas yesterday! This one is about 70x35cm.
Good idea! I'm so happy now I've started making time for it again and it has been a wonderful way to keep my mind off all the cancer stress, lockdowns and so on.
@StrongCoffee Great news about your arm!!! What an absolutely incredible painting! My goodness the colors are just beautiful! you're very talented xx M
Thanks to @AllyJay I have just finished two Bow tie scarves with left over 8ply yarn. They have come up a treat and are part of a collection for a fund raiser silent auction. Great pattern so once again thank you @AllyJay
Well I'm Regional Victoria so restrictions ease from today however we still can't have visitors. Add to that it's cold and we've had a notice to say they are cutting the electricity off for the day, 7.30am to 4.30pm. Hopefully they've rescheduled! Here's a photo, the yarn is 80% bamboo
Well, you could knock me down with a feather! I could see a large box at our front door this morning and knew I wasn’t expecting anything ‘that big’ .... and when I saw who it as from, I got emotional before I even opened it! After I opened it, I blubbed, BIGTIME!
It was from my lovely, thoughtful friend and ‘twin’, @Annie C!
She has made me the most beautiful, lovely quilt for my birthday - with gorgeous hearts and butterflies on it .. in the most beautiful colours and lovingly stitched by her, with special messages stitched in too. I love it!
Thank you so much, Ann ..... I will treasure it dearly xxx
Oh @arpiethat's just gorgeous! Something to treasure and hold when you are trying to cope with everything that you have in your life at present! How thoughtful of @Annie C Take care

Yes, and things were also made to last and pass down ... not chucked out after 6 months use!
Great pattern so once again thank you @AllyJay
