  Today I am grateful that my sewing mojo has returned , I have been doing it a bit tough lately and haven't felt grateful about anything! It is 18 months since I saw my Grandchildren (and their parents) but I still don't want to sit on the train for hours 

This quilt is for a very young boy and Trish will take it you his "parents" for me. They are friends of hers who foster children and do a good job of it.

I shall try and be a bit more grateful for the rest of the week and at least I have one thing to be grateful for on Thursday Di is taking me down to The Sydney Quilt Show, at Olympic Park it is so much easier for us to get to, and I can use my last Discover Voucher to get in .

  Today I am grateful that I had the sense to make a sensible decision about this quilt top. I was going to quilt it myself but it's just too big so I rang Belinda and she is going to quilt it for me.

It is Roll roll Cotton boll one of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilts made a few years ago and destined to go to Tom  and Jayne when they call in here on the way home from Townsville in late September.
