It started with Zaki...then my husband went down with it and a couple of days ago I got it - something between a cold and the flu. Coupled with the fact that I sliced part of my left thumb off while chopping an onion, I had a couple of sewing-free days and I'm behind with replying to comments.
Today, boosted by brufen, I thought I would do some no-brainer stitching and make a quilt top for Siblings Together.
I used a couple of charm packs that I got from my partner Jeanette as extras in the For the Love of Solids swap last year and supplemented them with a few of my own scraps and some low volume charms. It's a pretty mix of blues, oranges, yellows, greens and pinks. It measures 49.5" x 49.5"
*edited to add* I have a lovely helpful now - thank you so much to lovely Jude!
I'm going to put a thread in the flickr group but thought I might mention it here first. The postage like many places now is prohibitive here in Morocco - especially when sending internationally. If there is a UK peep who would like to help Lynne's drive for quilts for Siblings Together but perhaps hasn't got the time to make a whole quilt but could, if I sent them this top, assemble it and quilt it then please email me at ajlzeiddaratgmaildotcom. Thank you! Please leave a comment even if you can't help :)

This top is so colorful! It looks great. I hope you find someone soon as I am not in the UK - but even if, unfortunately I do not have matching charms therefore!
gorgeous, really happy and cheerful, if you get stuck (but I know you wont) let me know x
It's beautiful! sorry I can't help :(
Hope you are all better quickly xxx
Gorgeous quilt top Annabella
It looks great :o) Alas I'm already assembling an international quilt, but I'm sure someone will pop up! Hope you're feeling 100% again soon
Oh that quilt top looks gorgeous! I looooove those colours together! very well done!!!
Your quilt top is so pretty- I hope someone comes to your rescue! I'm no help- postage from Australia is similar. Cheaper to jump on a plane myself!!
I'm so sorry you've had a bumpy road lately -- you sound like you belong at my house! In the past two weeks, we've had a sliced hand, a heart scare, the flu, a sprained ankle...sheesh...
Love the quilt. Sometimes simple really is best!
Great quilt top- wish I could help but it's still chaos over here! You will definitely get someone to help, i'm sure of that :o)
Must be a Siblings weekend!
It is beautiful, I hope you get a taker soon - I'll have a ponder x
So bright and cheery! Hope things on the home front improve soon.
Oh A, so sorry to hear you've all been poorly! I hope everyone bounces back soon. If you haven't had a taker yet I'm more than happy to finish the quilt off & bring it to retreat! Jxo
I'll be your taker if you like! So pretty, I'd be happy to finish it for you and for such a worthy cause and can take to FQR with me to pass on. Le me know if you need me.
Hope you all feel better soon!
Oh no! Sorry you're not so good, and worse still the men of the house have it ;-) Gorgeous top.
it looks like you have a few takers to help with your quilt.
I hope your thumb and your men are doing better. xoxo
Sorry to hear you are not well!
Hope you and the family are feeling much better soon.
