On Saturday night we had a barbecue out the back and I stitched as we waited for it to cook. All day we had been looking forward to having an outdoor fire but instead we got lots of rain which was nice too.

I also visited with a good friend who id not caught up with propperly in a few years. I spent time with my friend Kylie and my little god son Jayden. I started working full time just before he was born and one of the big down sides was that I had been looking forward to being able to spend lots of time with them and help her with him so we are deffinately both very pleased that I will be able to pop in many Mondays now. I had yummy soup for tea at Mum and Dads and then came home with enough time to do a little knitting and stitching before bed.
Hello calendulars!







I adore your quilt - so sweet and special
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking great and inspiring me to get out some fabric and embroidery threads too! It's been a few years since I made my last quilt so it's probably about time!!!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is coming along beautifully, karen! I'm so envious of anyone who can embroidery. :)
ReplyDeleteembroidering, quilting, knitting, gardening and wine--you are my kind of girl!!!! I'll be right over for a glass! (with my bag of crafts!!!)
ReplyDeleteDid you draw out your embroider pattern yourself? I like the Idea of having the embroider square in the quilt.
