Hi everyone. Thanks for all your wonderful comments and messages! Again I am overwhelmed by the response. I am recovering well from surgery and am taking life easy at the moment (not always easy for me). I have been told that I will need to do chemotherapy. I should be finished with all that by Christmas so that is good. For now I am doing lots of stitching in the beautiful winter sunshine. I am so pleased that I won't need to start chemotherapy until after "urban stitches" this means that I am putting everything into making sure it will be a great weekend. Can't wait to see you all there.
more photos soon,
Rosalie xx


So pleased you are taking some time out in this beautiful sunshine to recover from the surgery. Good to hear that it went well.

Glad that you are doing well. Enjoy that sunshine we aren't having much in northern NSW at the moment, but it makes good quilting weather.

Thats marvelous news Rosie. They say a little bit of what you fancy does you good, so if that's stitching in the sunshine, then that's what you should be doing :o)! I'm keeping you in my prayers, pleased to hear the surgery went so well :o).

Oh Rosie your courage inspired me to go and have that first mammogram. I figured if you can face this challenge for a second time then I could to. It'll be an anxious couple of weeks but I can deal with whatever life throws at me with the same courage!
Thank-you for sharing your story with us!
Hugs
