Japanese

I do feel for Andrew's maths teacher. Apparently Andrew has been writing his name in Japanese on his maths assignment. Michael the maths teacher said he knows that the assignment is from Andrew because it's written in Japanese!

100 per cent

Andrew got full marks for his maths assignment on permutations and combinations. So proud of him!

5am

Well it's 5am on Saturday and I've just started sewing the binding on Elena's quilt. I fly to the US on Tuesday. Before then I'll have to sew the binding down, sew on the label and sew buttons on each petal oh and pack.

Such a nice feeling to have finished work for three weeks.

Andrew's picture

My 14-year-old Andrew has drawn the most wonderful picture. Each little squiggle is a word.

Elena's quilt

I got the two birthday quilts back from the quilter yesterday. Just in time because I fly out to the US on Tuesday. While I was waiting, I got the label, the binding and the buttons ready. And tried not to panic! Each petal around the quilt will be sewn down with a button. Thank goodness we have a long weekend here starting Friday.

Cursive E

I asked the quilter to quilt big cursive, swirly letter 'E's all over. Love this one because it's bang in the middle of one of the white blocks.

Today's progress

Got up early this morning and finished the quilt top for the new baby, Hannah. I'm going to see my friend and her new baby tomorrow, so I'll have something to show her now!
