Weekend fun & my fabric addiction

Had a long week without blogging, but back now :)

At the start of the week my husband too me to an aquarium for a pre-birthday treat (touched a rays nose!) so exciting like a five year old.

Had a fab birthday morning on my own, so dashed out to the local village, frustrated & unable to get a manicure anywhere, the fabric shop was open to save the day! Got some FQs and sample strips in the sale for my windy days runner & Christmas quilt for mum, yay birthday sale! Then had lovely afternoon with hubby & posh dinner in the evening (with much wine)

Bought some more sale strips in John Lewis, who've got some lovely Tanya Weylyn and Amy Butler pieces that I'll use for the runner.

Then had a super busy few days at work of meetings & big brain needing things for starting my new job in the next few weeks, not good when you're full of birthday cake...

But found the time through the week to experiment with embroidery from my new doodle stitching book (ignore the odd cat, it's very odd...)

Garden Quilting & Future Projects

My quilting’s going well, I had a gorgeous day in the garden on a blanket, quilting in the sun with a cup of coffee. I really got into the swing of it and got nicely brown in the process, all be it on my shoulders and on one arm as my other arm was underneath the quilt helping with my stab stitching.

Our pusskins was running about causing havoc with the birds and voles as usual, but kept on coming up to me to see what I was doing and as if asking me why I was sitting outside with the garden being her territory :)
