Quick Update

It's taken me ages but I've managed to upload the Chicken Quilt, so here it is.

Keep warm.

Brrrrr - It's Cold!

Gosh it feels cold this morning.  Not complaining too much though, it looks lovely and frosty and the sun is shining.  Tilly and I must get out this morning with my camera.

I've been busy quilting this week.  I'm trying to get a few projects finished before I start a new one.  I am winning so far.  

A couple of weeks ago on Kirsty's Homemade Home, Kirsty made a patchwork cushion, so this week I was inspired to make one too.  This is Tilly helping me photograph the cushion.  I think Kirsty's was all hand sewn, I did mine on my machine.

I started a quilt (The Chicken quilt) a couple of weeks ago that was a kit I had bought in Canada.  It's been sitting in the box for three years. I was slightly overwhelmed by the amount of fabric and of making a mistake in the cutting.  With a little help from a quilting friend, I made a start.  We had to juggle a few pieces as the measurements had been changed on the pattern which I hadn't realised at the time of buying the kit.  I'm happy to say I finished it this week.  I'd show you a photo but for some reason I can't upload that particular photo.  I clearly have so much more to learn!  So instead here's a photo I took while out with Tilly on Tuesday.

The beech trees are still lovely in the woods this week.

Keep warm.

PS.  I was thinking I would be the only person in the theatre who wasn't laughing when The Col and I went to see Spamalot.  How wrong I was, it was absolutely hilarious.  Marcus Brigstocke played King Arthur and there was a point when it appeared that the whole cast lost the plot and dissolved into giggles.    

Here We Go

This is my very first blog.  Let me introduce the Tilly in my life.  She's an 8 year Lab. She loves the woods and fields that we go for walks in.  She also loves water (especially the sea) and mud, the muddier the better.  She'll eat almost anything you put in front of her and if she has to have any tablets will only have them if they're disguised in cheese.  Tilly loves soft toys.  She never destroys them, just wanders around with them and will bring me a toy when I come home. 

I always take my camera with me when we go out for a walk, so here are a couple of autumn photos.

It's been such a fabulous autumn I really wanted to share my photos.

The Col (my beloved hubby) and I are off to see Spamalot at the theatre today.  I think I'm the only person in England that just doesn't get Monty Python but The Col says it's brilliant, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Thank you for dropping by, hope to see you again.
