Hi everyone! I just looked over the blog as I have been away for some time and
I would ask you to check out my flicker pictures on the right hand side -- click on Flicker.
It gives a pretty good idea of my thread painting and appliqued wallhangings done since 2008
I think I am getting the urge to get back at it but have a bit of a time problem. I couldn't even come in here to read the posts for quite awhile and that is why I haven't done any posting.
I am feeling so much better and with the wonderful support I have received from my TP friends on Knitting Paradise, and reading the kind words from my quilting friends, I just am feeling more like getting back to it. There is a possible move coming up in our lives and if it comes through we
will be on the west coast and they don't need much in the way of knitted objects so it would be a good time to go back to the landscape quilts and the crazy patch. Will see what happens.
I hope our tentative plans come to pass - but it is out of our hands. Well, I am going to go and read.
I just opened up a workshop with my friend Gwen who is teaching 3 beautiful scarves in the
"Let's do Christmas early ' series of workshops which started last month. some great workshops
are happening . I have them booked right through until Mar. 2014 - which amazes me.
talk to you all later. Designer (Shirley)

IT IS SO NICE TO BE BACK! I have been really busy this past while in
Knitting Paradise , and have finally decided to start posting again.
I am having a lot of fun there - as I am organizing workshops (sound familiar)
using teachers (KP members) who teach different Knitting or crochet technique or projects to other KP members. It is very satisfying and seems to be quite successful
My life has settled down a lot after losing Rob and then Pat had major heart surgery in 2011 ( two valve replacements, then I had a bad fall while he was in the hospital and went face first into the carpet with an attack of BPPV (vertigo) (looked like I had been hit in the face with a baseball bat) - Pat had two valves, mitral and aortic replaced and was in the hospital for 45 days . He is doing very well now
but since then there have been other medical situations . However things are looking very much better for us and both of us are feeling much better. Hayley is 9 -- unbelievable.
I have spent some time quickly scanning the different blogs - so nice to see all of you are doing so well with your quilting.
I will talk to you all soon. Shirley
