New projects

I hadn't realised how much I missed sewing until I actually dusted down the sewing machine and ordered some fabric!  My husband has finally finished the shed / summerhouse project and the patio at the end of the garden is looking much better for it.  He painted up the old bench and it is quite a feature there now.  But we all know that wooden benches aren't the most comfortable seats in the world so what that bench was crying out for was ... a patchwork quilt.
I've been so admiring of the quilts that Abi makes and after watching her video on the evolution of a quilt I was inspired.  I found an amazing website selling 'Layer Cakes' of co-ordinating fabrics.  There was a set in hot pinks and blues and lime greens and turquoise and before you could say 'Paypal', I had sent off my order. 
Now I'm not saying that I was obsessed with getting this quilt made or that all housework got neglected and dinners were made with not much thought behind them.  All I'm saying is that two days later it was finished.

The only other thing I would say is that this is not going to be the last quilt I make, I enjoyed doing it so much!

I also think that a photo of the quilt in situ on the bench outside is going to make it into my Scavenger hunt photos.
