The colour for those of us taking part in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) has changed this month to aqua. In my mind, aqua also encompasses the shades of turquoise and teal. Once again, not shades I have a huge amount of, but I found enough strips and small pieces to cut and stitch blocks for my two Little Bricks projects.
Little Bricks
We took a trip up to Palmerston North on Thursday to get the many staples removed from Robin’s knee, in fact we counted 28 of them! The nurse had some sort of handy little implement which she used, and ping, ping, one after another the staples were removed. Then the surgeon breezed in, peered at Robin’s knee, and declared that he was pleased with the results of his work. An appointment was made to come back in six weeks time for a final check.
On the way out, I noticed a pretty starry wall hanging in the waiting room, so of course had to stop and take a photo. I believe that the wife of one of the partners is a quilter, and likes to change the quilt from time to time.

Robin decided he didn't really couldn't cope with going out for lunch after all, in fact he was feeling a little seedy after our tripping around, so we drove straight home. Now the staples have been removed his knee feels less tight, which will help with moving around. He is slowly improving, one day at a time.

Wise to go home before you collapse!
Lovely pieces. Good work!
That went very well then Jenny. Good for Robin. That's a pretty and unique quilt; I think there should be more of these kind of soft art in places.
one step at a time and Robin will be good as new!
Your little bricks are always fun to see - pretty in every color! Sounds like Robin is making good progress with his knee, too. Hope he is feeling stronger every day!
Warmer days always help with recovery, take it slowly Robin, and those staples out will make your knee feel a lot easier for movement.Love the teals Jenny, you are right, one word includes many shades.
