My best friend Linda Cooper has died, she lost her battle with cancer in April and I am very sad she has gone. Linda and I went to college to gain our City and Guilds parts 1 and 2 in Patchwork and Quilting, Linda went on to do the embroidery City and Guilds,We started out teaching patchwork together just keeping ahead of our students but loving every minute and that love of all things textile grew over the years. I moved house the same day as she was diagnosed as in- operable and I felt really bed that I could not give my friend my support, its been a very hard year for llots of reasons.Linda was positive right to the end and a great example to all of us who new her, she is sadly missed.
Today I mailed my quilts off to Loch Lomond Quilt Show, just hope they arrive in time as our little post office is only part time four days and we have had public holidays galore recently. I have found working quite hard since Linda died my friend Susi felt the same way affter her friend died so hope soon to be back on track.To-day I finished a canvas I started a year or more ago, it was from the Adventure quitls lady (forget her name!!!!) anyway it was an interview with Bonny McAfrey (?spelling) and it looked fun and easy,now a year later I can say it was fun and fairly easy but I did it a little different to her (the quilter) method. When the thing dries I will post a photo, I will also have to charge the battery in the camera so watch this space.
Bye for now,
Janette
