We have been back from Egypt for two weeks now and the tan is fading, but the memories are awesome! This is me doing something that will NEVER be repeated - riding a camel. I loved the whole Bedouin experience but camels are not the most graceful or most comfortable animals in the world. We climbed a mountain to see the sunset, shared a Bedouin meal, saw the stars from deep in the desert, saw wonderful coral reefs with millions of beautiful fish, went on a shopping trip to Dahab accompanied by an armed guard - and loved every minute.
The sun rises at 6 am, sets at 6 pm and is HOT.
I am posting a couple of pictures of the view from our terrace and then I'll shut up about Egypt. Just GO, it's wonderful.
So, what have I been doing apart from riding camels? I have been working on my wholecloth quilt. It's not a massive project - 1 metre x 2 metres, but I'm doing a huge amount of cross hatching on it and I love it. I'm also preparing another ten week course for my ladies. We'll be making a bag, doing some bargello, making a table runner etc. I like to keep them busy!
I'm also trying to think ahead to Christmas. My plans are to make three king size quilts and two lap quilts for presents. Watch this space.....
I have designed one or two items that I intend eventually marketing. When they're completed as real patterns I'll show them on here. I guess patchwork takes over your life!
Peace to all.
