Quilt Topping Around the World

This is what I have been working on in the evenings this week 

 . . . a really BRIGHT Trip Around the World

 This was one Jelly Roll's worth

 Not sure whether to add a boarder or not . . . it will shrink when I join

And my crocheted rug washed and clean for Winter

Intimate Breakfast

 Last Weekend I was invited to an Intimate Breakfast

to help celebrate a friend's 50th birthday.

 I wanted to make her something special, as she is a very special friend.

 I have been inspired recently by the work of Sweet Birdy Love,

and thought I'd try my hand at something like that.

 I was thrilled with the result, and so was my special friend.

 If only Nelly knew she had been sleeping under a bird!

 The party was fabulous, and in true Flowergarden style . . .

 I was in charge of the flowers on the tables.

Happy Birthday Brenda!

Week 3 Term 2

 Back into full swing at school.

Reports looming -

Meetings galore!

 Children busy.

Musical Rehearsals.

Orchestra Rehearsals.

School - Homework

. . . but LOVING the Autumn colour.  Going to take my camera to school tomorrow, as outside my window is a wonderful tree.  I'm enjoying it so much.

Been getting the kids to gather leaves at Playtime and load up the garden beds for mulch.  So many willing little hands.

Finally Finished

 I started this project at least 2 years ago. I started off with great gusto and then it sat on my design wall, and it sat, and it sat.

 This was the original pattern by Kelly of Don't Look Now

and I adapted it to make a seasonal set of quilts.

 I have them on a long rod at the moment, but am having trouble finding a place to hang them in my house.  I'm very pleased to say I'm finished them, and it was indeed an achievement for the holidays.

 I've made up a box of plants for the Mothers Day Stall at school next week.

Thought I would share the love just a little.
