Well, twist me round and call me Simon....

My very own google doodle..... My dad left me a message on the answer machine wishing me happy birthday in Welsh - I thought he had had a stroke.

A finish

A nearly finished kitchen but a definitely finished quilt. This one has been a long time coming. I quilted it on my first Nessie - the first time I used the extended base and a ruler - only I didn't have a proper ruler, just a thick bit of Perspex that Mark brought me home from work. It sort of did the job and was a good learning curve. I have just done the binding after leaving the quilt hanging over the bannister for at least two years.... It is this shape on purpose - a runner for the bottom of the bed for when my feet are cold.

Owls and unmade blocks

I had planned to spend the evening making more Jacob's Ladder blocks, but Murray saw the owl on my blog....

They are one each for Murray, Ann, Jill, Tracey and Sheila and the big one is for Edward, Jill's grandson because Jill went to Thailand to see her sister and brought me back fabric!

Just look at them elephants! What more could a girl ask for?

Let me take a selfie

Ikea on a Bank Holiday Monday - why, oh why, oh why, oh why (the kitchen, that's why). You can't tell but Mark did this under protest!!! (He loved it really).

Halfway there....

290 nine patches Bonnie Hunter's Leaders and Enders style....

now I just have to find the book and remember which pattern it was....

Finish!

I have done some binding! This was a Rocheberie mystery sewing day - some time last year - I didn't do any sewing on the day as I was in the kitchen but I liked the block so came home and did it in African fabrics.

Progress

The kettle is in.
