It's not as dark a pink as it looks on the right. I have tried to make the hand-stitching of the central picture as invisible as possible. A little bit of perfectionist-Jennie coming out. NOW I can carry on, especially as the 5" pink blocks I bought from Ebay arrived today. Pretty they are - though some of them I definitely wouldn't use in this quilt as the wrong designs.
Just in case my Chocolate Cosmos has perished, I bought another and to make it better value for money (two for £5), I bought the Dahlia too.
I was hoping to share a photo I took of steps planted up SO beautifully on a Gardening Magics site on Instagram. I have JUST the steps, though perhaps they have not sufficient light. Will have to give it a whirl and see what grows. Oh, I bought seeds today too, when Emma and I were in the Health Food Shop in Llandod - an outside Cucumber Tanja, and Tomato Green Zebra. Can't wait to get things started in my greenhouse now. Praying that when the glass comes in a week's time, it is UNBROKEN.
Tomorrow I am off to the garden centre to see if they still have big ceramic planters half price (hope so), as Keith gave me some money to treat myself. Rain seems to be replacing the threatened snow.
