We had an absolutely beautiful spring day yesterday,
 |
| apple blossom |
 |
| Rugosa "Alba" |
everything in the garden is slowly coming back to life, scent from wisteria and our
Viburnum bush, orange blossom and the Rugosa rose above
pervades the whole back garden when all
bushes are in full flower.
This was a good day to pull out my quilt tops from my very large
drawer in the chest in the bedroom. I keep them in there until I'm ready to sandwich
them and I also usually have a couple in there rolled up
ready to quilt, but they needed to see some fresh air so outside they went
under the apple tree.

| Paintbox - before straightening the bottom left! So nothing exciting achieved this week, once again. Oh, I have finished up the sewing on High Flyer for my grand-daughter and playing with Scrap Vortex. I have a provisional date of 12th November for my next hospital visit so I'm trying to get a few loose ends tied up. Thanks so much for all your good wishes and I should be posting again during the week with progress on other projects! Maureen |
Rugosa rose, sigh. I used to have these in my garden in Thames. I must get some here, we've just had a difficult bank cleared and planted. Some rugosa would be good on there.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts, what glorious eye candy! I love your colour selections. Spot on.
