Thinking of you GrannyQ, hoping for a speedy recovery and good news from the medicos.
Anael I had another thought whilst driving today, (do my best thinking in the car) you can use 2 layers of water soluble stabiliser for your redwork embroideries. That will give you a lovely finish. I would just press and starch your fabric really well so it doesn't shift and pucker. I hope this has helped.
I have just arrived home, had a lovely lunch and wonderful conversation. I now have DD's car for the next few weeks and she has mine
She had a little accident at the shopping centre and all one side of her car was scratched, thank goodness for insurance, $4500 to have it fixed. So I have lent her my car and hers will be fixed here where I live. If I need a car desperately I can always borrow DS's or DH's truck. Great excuse not to go anywhere and get some more sewing done
and I get to drive her car back to her and check out the boyfriend a bit more
