I am shocked how far this project has come in just one month, especially as life was turned upside down last week when my Mum passed away suddenly. Dad has moved in with us temporarily and is returning to their flat each morning to start tidying and donating stuff. Mum had a good last day socialising with her friends at bowls in the morning, lunch at a smart local hotel, a nap and then a paddle in the sea where she was taken ill. There are worse ways to go and despite Mum's many underlying medical conditions, it was a shock for my Dad especially. So at 92, Dad is going to have to learn to work the microwave and other tech. We are now just waiting for the path lab to finish their tests so we can make arrangements.
I had great plans to custom quilt this piece but instead I chose a digital pantograph. I have bored IG friends with my dithering over binding choices but in the end I went with a classic black and white stripe which I could buy locally. Today I sewed the binding down to the front ready to hand sew it to the back today and tomorrow whilst Dad reminisces.
I will have this finished by the end of the month and then I hope that Kim chooses an easy project for us to work on for August.
