Ooops! I forgot it was Wednesday... that fateful day for showing my desk to the world thanks to the idea of Miss Julia, our prestigious Keeper of the Desks. You can criticise all the flaws and praise all the goodies via Stamping-Ground, so get over there asap.
Here's a very quick glimpse into my own personal craft world today... quick will please Miss D but I almost forgot it was Wednesday as I've been so busy.
I've organised a cosy corner of my guest room as a haven for sewing. It's too cold out in my craftroom, unless I remember to add extra heating in there, so I can't just drift into it with, great abandon to create, without forethought and I don't have much of that spare!
On my desk I'm working on a LillyBo Quilt with an outer space theme which will be quite exciting for a young boy in hospital. Just finished it last night and it's there waiting for a final press before I take the first batch of treasures, made and donated by so many kind WOYWWers, up to the hospital today. Lots more gems to see over on LillyBo too.
Off to vist Miss D and as many of WOYWWers as I can, might see you there!
Hi Jo ah lovely work going on here and pray your hands will be strong tot he task as it so wodnerful what you are doing.. God bless dear Jo, love Shaz n Oz.x #61

Great fabric - that will put a smile on a little face I am sure. Take it easy dragging that suitcase full of quilts to the handover! x Jo

Hi Jo, your quilt is absolutely gorgeous and some little boy is going to be delighted to receive it. I just have a vision of you with your arms full of quilts now, hope you have some help! Hugs, Anne x #35
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jo, love all the quilts rolling in from friends. Wish I could sew! Next week at work for two lunch breaks there's a bunch of us getting together to make "no-sew" quilts for Project Linus, an organization helping adults and children in bad situations. They have some safe houses and support people in hospital too, so another good cause.
