THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

[learning2me]

Good luck CB - as other said, take it easy.

Stroppy I really hope you get sorted as I know you value your job, but if not, I would really consider going to the press about this. 

Bad enough for any employer to treat disability like this, but yours really should know better. Blatant abuse of the DDA by on organisation that is supposed to promote it????????????????

[**towery**]

morning,

blue skies here atm, not as cold as it could be either

hope CB  is ok, what time does she normally  finish?

[chickengrandma-2008]

Doesn't she start at about 5am and finish at 2 ish?  Perhaps not quite as long as that but there abouts.  I hope she can still walk when she gets home!

How was it capt.?? 

[cat-knitter]

C'mon CB, where are you
Were all wanting to know your ok after your first day back, I hope you didn't find it too exhausting ............ did they bake you cake & hang up bunting to welcome you back   

[bitsnknots]

I'm another one hoping that CB is alright after her first day back at work.  Just wish she wouldn't keep us in suspense.

I made this quilt block today. It's for a Wild Meadow Quilt being made as a gift by the committee of SW Quilters to the out going chairwoman. We all make a wild flower block & the vice chairman puts it together & quilts it. It will be kept secret from the chairwoman until the AGM next April.

 That's beautiful Maggie 

[bitsnknots]

What a lovely idea Maggie.

[petitecalicocat]

What a lovely gift it will be when its all put together , your block is stunning Maggie 🙂

[ilove2patch]

Thank you. Not sure whether to put more stitching on it or leave it to the person who quilts it.

[petitecalicocat]

I think its lovely as it is ,  once the background is quilted the flower will stand out beautifully 🙂

[stroppy*cow]

That quilt square is lovely Maggie.

Hope that CB has had a good day at work.

As for my meeting - I am still employed but the management are aware of just how close I am to telling them to get stuffed. I had a solution to every excuse that they made. I have promises of things being sorted, but it remains to be seen if actions actually follow.

Had an interesting discussion re lone working - they like the outer doors to be locked at 4:30pm, I say that this is unsafe as if I was ill or had a fall the ambulance crew would be unable to get in to help me.  They were concerned that since my "cupboard" is at the far end of the office that I can't see if someone comes in to the building. I gave them two solutions - sort out the reception area so that I can work there easily outside of office hours, or fit a motion sensor with a very loud buzzer that will alert anyone in the building if some-one comes in to the lobby area.

Well said that lady.

No Sign of CB yet, I bet she has fallen asleep. Bless her.

[bitsnknots]

Well done in telling them straight Stroppy.  I hope that they sort things out for you.

[captainbovine]

Well, I'm here darlings! to be honest I'm pretty amazed at how it went, I managed fairly well, until about 11am, I was finished by midday but that last hour was a real struggle, my foot was sore and my back was killing me as I was walking properly...still a rest and a wee nap this afternoon and I feel OK, how about that then?

Stroppy, I'm glad you had them running rings around themselves! good for you. Just keep on at them until you are satisfied things are OK. Honestly, it's disgraceful isn't it really?

Ed, love the piccy of me asleep....how did you guess har har har!!!!! xx

well at least I'm still alive...

[stan3502]

Glad it went well CB but remember no running in the aisles ........

[bitsnknots]

Glad that you managed well on your first day back at work CB.  I've been thinking of you.

[captainbovine]

Ed, you've just reminded me, my boots squeak on the flooring in work, and one lady said she could hear too many squeaks to the minute, so I was to slow down I was trying to go as slow as I could honestly.

I'm still using a stick to walk with when I'm not hanging onto the trolley!!!

[stan3502]

T'was me not Ed CB must be all that squeaking confusing the tired coo

[captainbovine]

ooops

I am tired ya right!!! still back to normal now. It's nice to be off but at the end of the day, you do miss ya work mates, plus you can't enjoy being off if you don't have the cash to do things....so it's back to work for this coo!
