This is my second attempt at this post – and let’s just say that my computer and my incredibly SLOW internet connection are really testing my patience!!!!
Tonight was the 6th anniversary of ‘UFO’. Each Wednesday night a very kind friend has us to her home to stitch, chat and laugh. Where has that 6 years gone? There’s been lots of babies come along (and then graduate to staying home with their dads!), lots of good times shared, lots of support given when it’s been needed, a few glasses of champagne drunk, many good recipes tested, lots of projects finished but even more on the go. It was weekends away with these girls that kindled my idea for Sewjourn. Thanks ladies!!! Looking forward to many more years of UFO……….. (I certainly have enough UFO’s to keep me going for lots of years to come!)
(This photo has nothing to do with stitching but it’s colorful and reminds me of a celebration – I took it in Hoi An, Vietnam last year)

It is almost 10 years since our “craft group” of 6 lovely ladies started. The first project we all made was a candlewicked cot quilt. At that time 3 of us were Grandparents with a total of 5 grandchildren between us. Now there are 26 Grandchildren, so as well as a lot of talking, laughing there has also been dozens of knitted items, smocking, wool embroided blankets,billion roses,trains etc on singlets, cross stitch,and lots of different T shirts completed . The friendships are invaluable.
