As this (above ) is happening in June I am working to have something to enter.I have taken my Tall Flower wall hanging down off the wall and am now long stitch quilting it to make it firmer. The weight of the felt flowers has made the felt background sag. By quilting it it will be attached all over to the cotton backing. So far it looks better and more complete so I will keep at it.
I am also making small items for a Sales Table. I am also contemplating making an entry in the President's Challenge. ( only thinking at this stage ....can I be bothered...have I got an idea what to do....)
Also coming up in early June is my 80th so I have been working on retaining my Drivers Licence. With advice from my optician I started early ( last year ) to book in and get both cataracts done. I had quite a long wait for an appointment but as you will have read here the op was done just before Christmas. It took 8 weeks till I got my all clear and went back to my optician to see what glasses I might need. None for Driving! A pair for reading/ sewing / up close stuff with clear glass at the top. So still progressive but not strong at all. I got very light frames and am pleased with them and can see clearly everything I need to Do!
On Monday I went to get the mandatory doctor's check. Was given an old bloke doctor I never met before. It took 5 minutes ( 10 at the outside ) and cost $95.
The next day Tuesday I went to Waka kotahi ( AA ) and paid just $22.50 to get my licence renewed. Using the same photo they took at age 75.
So all in all pleased to have that done. I live in the country and although I don't go out that much I need to be able to drive myself when I want.
On the garden and produce front walnuts are falling, apples are ripening and vege crops are finishing. Maybe best of all feijoas are dropping! Yum yum.

That’s great news about your eyesight and drivers’ licence. I look forward to seeing your quilt on display.
