After months of being on holiday, being ill, and family over on a Wednesday, I finally got back to my quilting group again yesterday. This is a pattern I bought from Cross Patch, along with a 5" charm pack last month. It is raining this morning so I will be able to carry on with stitching the half square triangles I paired and pinned and divided yesterday afternoon.
I'm not sure how it will look until I lay it out. I'd like to do the bottom one for a present for someone come Christmas.
I haven't touched my work in progress quilt since October, so will have to get back to that and the dress I had begun to pin in place to cut out (for Rosie). I spent yesterday evening, sewing E/Bunny bits together until I had to lay it aside as I can't do the next bits until I have the stuffing (which is waiting on Evri to decide to deliver).

I was hoping to do some more out in the garden today, but it depends on the weather. I weeded about 6 feet of the path up to the polytunnel on Tuesday (which my back can affirm!), and when I needed to straighten up for a bit, pruned the young apple trees, the Buddleias and a couple more roses. On my way back from quilt group yesterday, I stopped at the nursery near Llandovery, and bought two 6 foot stakes for apple trees, and a mixed packet of Sweet Peas.
It's Malvern Flea on Sunday, so my friend Pam and I are going for a wander round. It will be lovely to see my friends again. Which reminds me, I need to go and get some ham for sarnies and cat biscuits (not for sarnies!)
OK, I knew I should have taken my sewing machine along yesterday. It has just jammed, and I have unscrewed the front housing but cannot remove it! Talk about frustrating. I had sewn 10 of my blocks too and was doing so well . . . I wanted to make good progress with it today too.
