Serendipity

Maurice starts work at six o clock in the morning so he leaves home early, and doesn’t usually wake me, but rings around nine am to say good morning, and check we are OK ,he asked what my plans were for today ? well I said hmm I might go shopping and spend lots of money ,or I might go back to bed with my book ,or I might do some washing cos I’ve run out of ironing ! Or I might do some sewing, I am making a patch work quillow as Marie Alice Joan once suggested and kindly sent me the instructions (a Quillow is a quilt which folds into a built in pocket to form a pillow) “Use me as a pillow, unless you get cold, then pull out my stuffing and gently unfold, I’m a lap quilt now with a place for your feet, and when your all done, fold me back nice and neat “,

I can’t take the dog out for a walk, as she is in an interesting condition, I will vacuum later, and I cleaned the cooker yesterday (as well as my halo!) I hate that job, who does? ….

         Mort, dear man awarded me with a caring friend award so I think while I am machining my patches together I will be thinking who among you, to pass on this award to, and that is hard because you are all so caring ,and so instead of just talking about it I had better get on ,So as usual to you all love from

 Thankyou to Win for my siggy today .

  Hi Jan,
  I have been away on holiday.  I love patchwork, I would love to see your finished Quillow.  Could you post the instructions so that we could have a go too please?

  thanks for visiting my journal again. I can't sew for nothing. My grandma was a seamstress she was so good. She passed away many years ago but I will always remember how good she was. She made my 8th grade graduation dress, I'm now 49 and I still have it in my cloest.

  Quillow...Interesting concept.  Wish I could sew.  Whatever it is you ended up doing, I'm sure you were content.  :)

  You are lucky if you are looking for something to do! I am always happy doing nothing! I just devote some days to reading a good novel. Try it it is good therapy..trick is not to feel guilty when spending a whole day reading! Love Conniex
