It's funny how things turn out but Zaki and I were sharing a double bed and I found him at 3AM burning up. Had we been at home, I might not have known he was sick until perhaps the morning. Despite feeling lousy, he was absolutely amazing and a great companion and we were able to do the paperwork on Monday and get a train back to Marrakech...he slept most of the way home (a four hour journey) and we went straight to the doctors. It looks like he picked up a virus. He didn't go to school today but he looks like he is on the mend!
Anyway, there has been a little progress on the orange, aqua and grey hexies. I love working with these 1" hexagons - they baste really easily and all those precise corners satisfy the usually very latent neat geek in me.
...and I am making some progress with my EPP Fireworks ferris wheel.
and here's a sneaky peek of a block in Danny's strip. I'm on the naughty step in this bee. Danny gave us pretty much free reign to make her strip in the Strip Tease bee *edited to add that in fact I'm in a bee called Stitch Tease lol - thanks Di!* and I have been paralysed with such a choice and I'm very late. However, I am going slowly with my old machine (no quarter inch foot, no light but great tension!) and I'm 4 blocks down with 2 to go.
This bee finishes up next spring and I know there are going to be eight very happy chappies as their quilt tops arrive. We really have no idea what our tops will look like...I'm starting to get excited!

It's bad enough being ill, but being ill away from home is the stuff of nightmares.
Hope all's well now.

Glad Zaki is on the mend and hope you are feeling ok now too. Lovely progress on your EPP projects.
I hope you both feel better soon, we seem to all be over the lurgy here now and I am hoping it stays that way. The EPP is looking beautiful as are sneak peaks. No matter what your pictures are, saying we took the train home to Marrakech from Casablanca sounds amazing.
How about that for a name drop....when I was in Casablanca last week....it sounds so glamorous!!!
Hope Zaki gets better soon!
Hope the house of Ill is now the House of Well again! And yay on the EPP progress :o)
