Long weekend happenings

We have had a long, mostly wet, weekend - a great chance to get some sewing done.
I finished block 8 of the Boys Story quilt ...
This is Charlie's favourite cartoon strip because the boy gets zapped!!
I have also finished piecing together the table runner so now I am up to quilting it...
On Friday, husband Paul and I went to a garden centre and bought a Blush Babe apple tree and a Satsuma mandarin and Paul planted them straight away ... yum ... we can't wait to get our own fruit!
A productive weekend!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
Happy stitching, Wendy

    The new block looks fab and I love the table runner (a table runner could be another to add to list!).
    Happy stitching, Michelle.

    Wendy..you are so fortunate to be able to grow your own fruit...our climate is way too cold! Love your boy's quilt (but of course you already know that) and that tablerunner is wonderful! You really are accomplishing a lot! :)
