Angels on my shoulders?

 . . . or perhaps on my fingertips, as I imagine these little old wrinkled faces smiling as I work on the quilts they once made and need restoring, or finishing, or altering.  I sense they would be delighted to see them put to rights, ready to be loved and treasured again.  So many hours of stitching went into their creations and - heavens - a good few into putting them to rights again!  I can vouch for that.  I have done quite a few down the years.  

They might touch with angel hands a fabric they remember buying, or which started off life as a dress or skirt, they might think of what they were listening to on the radio or tv whilst they sewed (Z-Cars or Gardeners World or the A-Team or Fawlty Towers perhaps, with this current hexi quilt).  

I have had a busy day today, stripping and remaking the guest bed with a winter duvet and brushed cotton bedding, and washing the used-once set and hanging it up to dry.  I baked a lovely loaf of bread, and made a Spicy Dorset Apple Cake to take to my friend tomorrow, but it smelt so good that I weakened and had a piece and then had to make her another (Manderin Orange Cake).  

I have been sewing - joining the loose backing on the quilts, and now I am on the borders.  One went smoothly but this current one has a join in the middle and that hexi-angel bodged it a bit and so I am having to try and unbodge it.  Bless her, we all do things like that.  

I am still happily watching Outlander, but skipping the awful scene in Wentworth jail with that barsteward Black Jack Randall. . .  They'll be escaped and off to France shortly.

I must try and avoid any click bait posts on Microsoft Bing when I sign in.  I did not want to see that a White House adviser is saying that the next 8 weeks could be the most dangerous of our lives and lead to WWIII. . .  That sort of thing haunts me rather when I wake up for a call of nature at 3 a.m.

Well, my day out tomorrow is off as Lulu has an upset tummy and just been sick, with a tint of blood in it so I will have to take her to the vet tomorrow.
