This week has been quite busy and consisted of family, friends, art and EPP.
For my arty doings pop over
HERE
Family wise we had a little sickie to mind and a special birthday for our eldest Grandson. Delicious cake....sampled by yours truly!
Time has just flown by......can't believe double digits are now on his cake.
Our local paper interviewed our son about his upcoming ride.
I had a lovely stitching day down by the bay at friend Sandras home mid week....great company and chatter and I worked on my hexies for Brinton Hall.
I now have all the hexie strips basted on the border and have begun to applique them down.
Yesterday was so hot I couldn't face the quilt on my lap so I started the hexie flowers for the next border.
This border has these star thingies with the hexie flowers which don't appeal to me so I am going with a row of hexie flowers and my own version of a star in the corners.
So I am quite pleased with Brinton Hall progress this month.
My friendly postman bought me a very nice little package this week from my friend
MARINA.....
Donations for my clamshells! Yummo!
Of course I popped them away to use another day.....NOT! I was like a kid with a new toy.....had to make some new clammies straight away....especially that gorgeous bee fabric.....
My Clamshell Quilt is becoming more and more special to me with pieces from lovely friends stitched within........ generously sharing some of their beautiful reproduction fabrics with me for it.....thank you xx
My walking regime has been adhered to but this weekend with the heat and humidity it has been abandoned. A swim will have to suffice!
Well lovely folks that is me all caught up.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
