Nearly there ...

With the scrappy quilt .

After much piecing, the blocks for my Jamestown Landing quilt are all made up,  so the joining of said blocks commenced


 I had not counted how many blocks of each type I actually needed, and after I got this far I needed to make some more of the stripy blocks.
 So now the top is done, and I am just contemplating what sort of border I would like on this.  It won't be a wide border, I think just a narrow cream, then a scrappy coloured and another narrow cream, but the sewing space has been tided, and the quilt put to one side whilst we have a little trip, and hopefully a bit of sunshine too. 
 We did have a visit down south - the boys were playing  a golf tournament. Then a nice walk along the sea front
 followed by a yummy brunch.

 I have been trying to get this shawl finished - just got a deep lace panel to go but I can't tell you how many times it has been pulled out. I keep losing my place 😖 but hopefully it will be done before the weekend .......


Unless I keep wasting so much time with this bonnie bundle 😊

 so don't expect to see a finish soon 🙄

We have had the French family visiting and they brought this lovely garlic so we will all be smelling rather.....

 And a beautiful plant.  These Marguerites always look so cheerful.  I had this flower in my wedding bouquet - maaaaaany years ago


We are off on a bit of a road trip at the weekend so hopefully I will have some interesting photos to share next time
