Quilting as therapy

They say taking ginkgo brahmi tablets, tackling cryptic crosswords and playing bridge are three of the best ways to preserve your memory and keep your intellect nice and sharp, but my quilting buddy Di B has come up with another, and I really like this one – Quilting!

This week she made this pretty mug bag for her lovely mum, Margaret to take to quilting.

Look what that cheeky Di’s printed on the side of Margaret’s bag!

Margaret never misses a St Mark’s Quilters day or a morning with Paddington Quilters.

She creates the prettiest Blankets of Love out of tiny scraps.

I think Di B’s mug bag message is definitely working for Margaret - she has truckloads more marbles than I have!

Footnote: Here’s the mug bag I made Di B a while ago.

Don’t worry, you’ll come to no harm around our Di - she’s much more likely to give you a ‘killer hug’!   Angel
