A bit of a Miracle and other things

Well it's been ages because the kids have been pretty sick. One got tonsillitis and then the poor boy got multiple ulcers in his mouth. I counted ten on one side of his mouth, the poor thing was in so much pain, he even had them on his tongue. He has lost weight and so now he is even more of a skinny stick. But he is slowly getting better.

Get a load of this, I thought that to back the tree quilt I would need to go buy some more fabric, but I thought, no I have enough let's see if I have some in my fabric. I found enough, so that will teach me to look from now on. Then I checked for wadding and found that I might not have enough. I laid it out and...

I did a bit of cutting...

And.....

                                       

Here's the little miracle, I know it isn't much but it still gave me a buzz :) a perfect fit. So now I am sewing the branches bit by bit so that they blend into the background.

                                        

It's going to take me weeks and it isn't the most exciting thing I have ever done but it will be worth it. 

With all this sickness going round I forgot that I need to enter the QLD Quilters competition, I have 6 days to go, so I am taking photo's and trying to get the best look. Hopefully this time I will do better than last year. 

Here's one shot I took that I like

have a great rest of the weekend
