I haven’t forgotten

Well it’s nearly 2 years since I have posted on here. Hyllarkin is still sitting on the hill but I haven’t been out to see you for well over a year. My dad took sick last year on the 1 st June and was classed palliative...I stayed with mum for 16 weeks until dad was stable then came home. I visit most days but I won’t go away from the mountains as I need to be close for mum in case she needs me...which means I don’t go anywhere over night  they live approx 4 to 5 mins from me..

We settles into the ballroom which was nicely set out for us.i got to sit next to the most delightful lady by the name of Marjory..we hit it off from the first 5 mins which was so good..both really quite new to the slow stitch scene.. Our first intro was to start stitching a retreat bag which Lisa had supplied.. We had a guest speaker for the day Kathy Doghty from Material Obbession who gave a talk about her quilts..while I love quilts and quilt making I’m not into a lot of bright fussy fabrics. I’m a lover of French General type colourings and pastels  I seem to alway...
