It's not often that I buy a book
and then immediatley feel compelled
to make something out of it :)
But I had the 3 'spare' Ocean Wave blocks...
(and I quickly made another one out of the scraps)
And this book as inspiration...
Well, I needed a small handwork project!

More to follow as it gets sewn down.

I have finished quilting the Maple Leave quilt
on my Longarm!
I went for a sort of abstract swirly pattern...
I used pale pink thread and thankfully
the tension was spot on so it looks good on the back too.
(If I say so myself LOL)
Another case of the quilting makes the quilt! -
I was not that keen on the top,
but I think it looks lovely now that it's quilted.
*****
As soon as I finish one quilt,
I just want to get another on the machine...
so I whacked some borders on my
'Jelly Bean' quilt...
I wasn't sure I liked the borders,
but the quilt-inspector approves
so we're going with these borders :)

In my previous post, my neighbour
photographed me holding a quilt up in the wind.
We chatted for a bit and he expressed 'grass-envy'...
So we have garden visitors at the moment!
2 sheep and their lambs
are 'mowing' the lawn for us at present!
The boys and I keep joking
about all the 'chocolate peanuts' they leave us LOL.
We're hoping Miss-Kalico doesn't try eating them! :)

On the weekend we had sun!!!!!
We even had our first BBQ of the year!
Sadly, it's gone again! :(
