Blue skies
After what feels like weeks of rain, yesterday and today have been gloriously sunny. I enjoyed getting out for a walk in the near-by park this morning, ahhh, fresh air and sunshine, is anything better? Some maple leaves are still stubbornly hanging on and there are lots of majestic gum trees. In my own garden the camellias are starting to bloom and the bulbs are pushing upwards. I planted lots of new bulbs this year so I am keen to see them flower. This week I sewed the border on my mini quilt and realised something peculiar about myself - I have plenty of patience to do endless hours of hand stitching but I do not have the patience to unpick my machine sewing and try again when my points and corners do not match perfectly! Does it make any sense? Wendy xx
Your photos are gorgeous! The camillia one would make a beautiful desktop background!
ReplyDeleteThe sunshine looks lovely. And your impatience makes perfect sense to me.
ReplyDeleteIt is because you prefer hand stitching ...I suppose !!!
ReplyDeleteYour pannel is beautiful, I love the colors you choose !
Here we have 32°...too hot for me !!! Enjoy the blue sky !

Love your mini. Looks perfect to me.
Yes i can relate to the hand stitching and not unsewing...
ReplyDeleteAll your photos are lovely...
Love your sunny photo's the past two days here have been mostly overcast and windy, I managed to stay inside.
ReplyDeleteYour mini is looking gorgeous and your reluctance to do unsewing makes perfect sense to me.
Enjoy the pretties popping up in the garden.
Your block is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteUnpicking is ......... Couldn't possibly swear on your blog.....

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and blooms both real and fabric...lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos Wendy and your little quilt is wonderful! Unsewing is not as much fun as sewing, and I have plenty of projects that need to be undone! :)
ReplyDeleteAhh sunshine is good to have after cold grey skies. It feels good to see the sun. I love that photo of the circle created by the sun, very cool. Unpicking is not a favourite of mine either, quite annoying actually. I hope you have a wonderful week. x
