CQJP For April

This is my CP square for April, I quite like this one, I love the Bee heading for the flowers.
Are you all having the same problems with blogger with this new set up, it's a real pain.
I have had a lazy weekend, the weather has been a bit indifferent but I think the people who wanted rain should be happy.
Do you remember the summers when you were young? I do and I know they were very warm and sunny and we played out in the sun for hours, we skipped and did handstands and played Hopscotch and when it was time to come in  for a meal we really did,nt want to be bothered but, the weather now seems very strange.
My husband finishes work at the end of May and I am looking forward to being able to just take off and stay away as long as we want to, I love having Tony at home.

Primroses and Pansies

You will have to crick your neck to look at my photo's because blogger will no let me turn them.
It has been a beautiful but very cold day today, my garden has been taken over by wild primroses, they are so pretty, the big pot with the pansies looks lovely, is there anything more beautiful than flowers especially spring one's.

Still Going Crazy

I am still embellishing my crazy quilt it is taking quite a long time, I did'nt realise how many seams there were, it looks very pretty in a lot of places and very bare in other places but I do enjoy prettyfying and I learn new things all the time, I have become a Lace and bead fiend, I love to search for old lace when we go to any antiques fairs so if you see a bottom sticking out from one of the sales tables it is probably mine I always search the boxes on the floor.
The garden is quite an inspiration at the moment I have lots of primroses,violets, tulips and pansies out and the tree blossoms are very pretty I think this time of year is one of the nicest.

Crochet Finish

I have just finished this crochet bedpread, I have loved doing it. I got the pattern from attic 24 blog she posted a very simple to follow pattern I have never done a crochet pattern before so I am quite proud of this and it is lovely and warm. We are having a nice Easter Weekend having lunch with our lovely kids and baby Jude, hope you are all enjoying

your holiday weekend.

Finished Block

This is the block I have been working on in my online class, it has been a lovely experience and one i will definitely do again. I have been learning about silk ribbon embroidery, embroidery stitches and beading and I have learn't such a lot. The little needle case was made the first time I tried ribbon embroidery and I loved doing french knots. I still have a great deal to learn but I am enjoying the journey.

A Lovely View

Kathleen and I visited Breedon on the Hill, this is a pretty little village in Leics.every week they have an Antiques Fair and we love to browse, the best stall has the most beautiful vintage linen including bedlinen, we spend quite a lot of time at this stall. This time we climbed the hill to the lovely church it was a beautiful day and the views from the top were breathtaking, on the way up, there were pretty little cottages with roses and honeysuckle around the doors we did a lot of oohing and aahing
as we went past choosing the one's we would like to live in, it's lovely to dream.

Quilt Finished

Hello people, having this new laptop is a bit of a pain at the moment but, I have managed to add Picasa now so I can put photo's on Yipee!!

The quilt you can see has just been finished I have made it for a friend, I backed it with a nice stripe fabric so I suppose it could be used as a wholecloth when turned over, I hope she likes it.

Kathleen and I went out this morning, it has been the most glorious weather for the last two weeks and everyone's garden is starting to sparkle with all the flowers and shrubs starting to bloom, what a lovely time of year this is we love it.
