D did I or didn't I?

D appropriately DOH!

Not happy, Google! I did my post on Tuesday and it has Disappeared into the iEther. So 'dis' will be a quick Digest of my original epistle.

Dearest DEERSTALKER David

David is almost always prepared to 'ham it up' so when we went to Vinnies about three weeks ago, he didn't mind donning the deerstalker. We knew D would eventually appear on the scattering horizon...so all I had to do was wait.

Back to the headwear ...Cute, huh? We thought about buying it for a Swedish friend who hunts deer but alas his head is a little too round for this Scottish tweed number. David had his cataracts done in February so he wore the Cancer Council glasses everywhere for a few weeks. Look closely in the side lens and you can see my reflection.

Di Palin is my podiatrist. Last year, I had very inflamed tendons and bursitis in my left foot. With Di's great care, she had me walking correctly again in 6 months and I was able to travel and walk kilometres most days. She was very pleased to participate in the blog and showed me her dorsal pedis artery to which she is pointing above.

DECO drop desk and bookcase

David and this Deco combo drop-desk bookcase have been hanging out together since circa 1972. His old friend, Bert bequeathed it to him. When David moved to Sydney after we married in 1993, Bert's bookcase came too. We moved house again in 1995, so the bookcase had to tag along. We now use it as a china cabinet and storage for the odd souvenir, stationery and CDs. We occasionally think about Bert and his generosity.

DISPLAY something quilty

Friday Showcase at the NSW Quilters' Guild
February Lyn Hewitt's beautiful quilts

On the first Friday of most months, the Quilters' Guild of NSW invites a quilter to showcase a selection of her/his quilts at Head Office Level 5 276 Pitt St Sydney. The featured February quilter was the renowned Lyn Hewitt who showcased mainly display quilts. If you are interested in attending the showcase just check the Guild's calendar on the website. If you are in the city, drop into the office because the display can be views for at least the whole month. http://www.quiltersguildnsw.com/events.html#friday

The April showcase will feature Catherine Butterworth. In addition, the 2013 Raffle quilt will soon be on display. It was designed by Lyn Alchin and sewn and quilted by a group from the Wentworth Falls area led by Isobel Lancashire. Raffle tickets will be on sale soon. I hope I win it as it is really beautiful….broderie perse, appliqué and  hand quilting.
