An Update for Mother!

My mother, who has finally (after all these years)
found my blog complained that I'm not blogging enough
so this is very photo-heavy
and word light...

My 2 quilts are ready for collection
at Chris, my Longarmer so I am feeling the pressure
to get the backing made up for my rose hexagons...
I'm going to piece the backing with a recently purchased piece of fabric
and some rose fabric scraps.
I had planned on piecing the entire backing,
but I don't think I have the time and I would love
this quilt finished sometime in my lifetime :)

*****
Our tickets arrived for:
'A Day with Ricky Tims'.
Vicky and I are looking forward to hearing him speak!

*****
Love my doors,
here's one in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria:
Here you go Mom!:

*****
DH is getting some babysitting practise in, 
in preparation for my upcoming leg surgery.
Yes, one more attempt at fixing this darn leg of mine :(
Baby-Kalico doesn't mind who pushes the buggy as long as she can sleep!

*****
She's now 5 months old...
And enjoys gumming the odd carrot...
Although she's not really on solids yet.

*****
I took her to visit an old Aunty.
And she brought lots of smiles...
It's lovely to be able to share her love!

Wordless Wednesday - Visit with Vicky

I popped over to visit my dear friend Vicky today.
She had just come back from a days sewing
where she had put together this gorgeous quilt top.
So I said "Quick, quick, I need a Wordless Wednesday" :)

It's not quite wordless as I needed a few words
just to say that this isn't my quilt,
but it is made by my dear friend and I think it's beautiful!

Wednesday Words

Just a few words...
This week I discovered that she really is a fussy cat!

She loves this food:
For Fussy Cats!!!

*****
A sheep on the farm has had a C-Section!
So she is now proud Mum to 2 little lambs!

*****

And a friend brought me a gift from Germany.
To share or not to share ;)
That would have been the question if DH had not spotted them!!!

Doors are on!

No sewing of note to blog,
but spotted this gorgeous door today.
Love the red paint and the heart handle!

*****
The doors are now on my studio
so the end is in sight :)
I can't wait!!
