I've got quite a bit of stitching done this week in and amongst the taxi-driving
I've appliqued an entire panel of sunflowers for the garden quilt - this is the back of a recycled man's shirt so you can see how big these flowers are.
Plus I'm having a play at a surprise for a friend who lives a little further afield.Sarah has spent plenty of time in the car this week.
Tuesday evening saw me taking her up to Bristol for her TDG (Talent Development Group) rugby training.
Nigel drove her over to Northampton on Friday for her England Colleges trial.
I took her down to Plymouth for Regional training again yesterday - she's subsequently heard she's in the starting 15 for the first Regional match next Sunday which is exciting enough.
But the most delightful news this week is that she has been selected for the England Colleges squad. She is the youngest in the squad at only 16 years and 7 months and because of this will not be able to play all the matches especially those against the older opposition teams.
But I know she will be so proud to pull on that white shirt (incidentally this isn't Sarah but a member of the existing England Ladies team - the picture is courtesy of the RFU website).It's not quite her ultimate ambition - that is to play for England Ladies at Twickenham - but another big step along the way...................... and all in spite of that thumb :o)))

Congrats to Sarah!! She's worked so hard for this...especially recuperating from that thumb!

So pleased the thumb thing didn't stand in her way!! I really thought that pic may have been of her ;-)

Thanks for the support and comment, I may have a little bushfire project that might interset you...pop over for a visit, love Tracey
Hi Anne, I love the sunflowers and having them on a shirt backing is just a hoot! Who would ever know unless you told them? Isn't quilting just the best form of self expression.
The road trips sound long, but I believe you've made the best of it. Hugs, Finn *VBS*
