Come on Spring, Hurry Up!


I am really fed up with the cold weather now, and I cannot bear to think what it is like on the east side of America how can 24" of snow fall all in the one place, I hope you are all o.k it must be a nightmare even if it is pretty. I keep looking out for signs of spring, I have seen snowdrops and some daffodil bulbs are definitely feeling sprightly, the birds are all getting friendly and making a merry noise, but it is still so cold. We have started talking about our first outing in the caravan there is a Flea/antique market on the 28th Feb. in Shepton Mallet near Bath which is in Somerset so maybe we will have a long weekend there the stalls are inside and outside so there will be lots to see. I hope you are all having a Happy Sunday.

Finished at Last.

Hello everyone, I don't know if you remember butI showed you this quilt when I had just finished the top, well now it is finished and I love it, my husband says this is a keeper. I did not do loads of quilting just enough to hold the three pieces together I did big swooshy (is that a word) flowers on the multi coloured bit and I quilted around the flowers and butterflies on the borders. It took me 2and a half years to complete but it was worth it. I did a lot when we went travelling in our caravan so now I want another paper piecing project that I can do when we start to wander again. Off for a coffee now.

It's a Cold Cold Day


Hi everyone, it is very very cold here today, the frost well and truly biting into the grass ther has even been a little bit of snow. I took the photo of these crab apples when Tony and I went for a walk they stood out like little jewels, I bet the birds have eaten them now.Tony and I went to visit his Mom yesterday as it is her birthday on Wednesday 3rd. she is doing fine but Dad is getting more and more confused I think his dementia is getting worse, I worry about Tony's mom because she is 84 and it is a lot to deal with but, she is patient and caring she manages to get out every day to the shops and has a little break she wants to cope as long as she can. Kate was there to see her Grandma and there was a lot of wedding talk so we had fun. I have just finished a quilt that has taken me two and a half years to complete it was made from tiny scraps which i made into hexagons and sewed over paper I have shown you the top on my blog before but now it is finished and quilted I love it. I hope you are all well and healthy see you soon.

Getting Rid of Followers.

Hello Everyone, I am glad to say that I have got rid of the follower I did not want. My son showed me how to do it and it was really easy, all you have to do is click onto followers and all the pictures come up then click on the one you don't want and at the bottom of the screen it says BLOCK click on that and it says do not show this follower again. Now I know I can do it I am really relieved. It has been a bit grey in England for the last week and it is really depressing, Kathleen and I are hoping to go to Ikea on Wednesday so that will cheer us both up, we always enjoy a day there. I have been food shopping this morning so I am now going to sit with my book and a cup of tea, see you soon.

Hearts

Hello Everyone, sorry I have not posted for a few days I have been a bit busy. Here are a couple more hearts for Kate's wedding she wants every female guest to receive a heart so I have a lot of sewing to do. Kathleen and I have been to have our hair done to day I feel so much better isn't it strange that a trim can make you feel all tidied up.We are off to sewing class tomorrow this is the first time since christmas the snow was too bad for travelling any distance, it will be nice to see everybody and catch up.I cannot believe we are more than half way through January time certainly does fly as you get older. I'm off to do my husbands dinner now, speak again soon.
