Such an exciting parcel was waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday. Leeanne at quiltmekiwi has finished quilting Charlie's quilt and she has done such a fantastic job. Charlie and I both love the quilting Leeanne has done, it looks stunning and suits the quilt perfectly. Some of the thread she used is variegated rainbow colours (probably not the correct terminology!) and it goes so well with the embroidery thread I used. We loved the message Leeanne quilted along the bottom for us too, Charlie thought it was a shame that it would be cut off! So, thank you Leeanne, we love what you did. Charlie's room has been newly wall papered and painted pink, so once I finish binding the quilt I will show you how it all looks together.
We are enjoying the last of the summer days although the ground all around is brown and the poor farmer's are saying it is a drought. My potted strawberries are still providing us with berries; our home grown sweetcorn is perfectly sweet and juicy; and we have most of our evening meals on the deck. We call it our green room as we are surrounded by trees, Wendy xx
How lovely..... the strawberries, the corn, the setting and THE QUILT - just a lovely post today!!!

The quilt is an absolute stunner - what a gorgeous piece, I love it all - the colours & shapes - did you buttonhole all the applique by hand?! And the quilting is so great, well done to Leeanne...
