Finished

So finished, it even has a label on it..... Quilted on NessieJ Jamie Wallen style but I had real trouble with the thread breaking. In the end I switched to a different brand and then had no problems. A Bonnie Hunter pattern - Scrappy Trip Around the World.

Increase in size

I may have a minion, but Murray has a chicken....

We're having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave....

They have been breeding....

Bumble bee bag

Very pleased with myself today as made this bag and even put a zip in it - oh yes, get me!!!! It was a demo at Rocheberie quilters yesterday and the instruction sheet was 10 pence - what a bargain.

Marbelling

I love the fact that I have my very own sewing room that is a converted attic BUT when we have rare days of sunshine like today, it can be too hot up there, so what's a girl to do..... sit in a pub garden drinking cider or sit in the garden, wearing a green apron, painting clothes pegs.

Lavender chicken

I went on a shop hop on Saturday and this lavender filled chicken was a small kit I bought in one of the shops - the Nimble Thimble in Buckingham. A nice shop, a nice chicken.....
