My poor 1797 Revisted quilt has been extremely neglected, so I decided to give it some love which means lots of basting my pieces for it.
The next row is a dark so I am going with more reds.
I have started the row so as not to get muddled with the order I want.
It takes ages to get a round done now....so best not put it away in the box again for a while.
I completed another Wings block before resuming work on 1797, just to keep progress moving on it.
And I happily now have little box of completed secret squirrel stuff.
On the subject of EPP I spent yesterday morning with friends and friend Monica wowed us with her gorgeous tumbling blocks quilt which was getting it's binding sewn down.....the colours are so jewel like. Loved seeing it as I had watched it being stitched together piece by piece. Lots of work.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing with the crazy paparazzi Monica lol!
In my garden I have happy Hippies flowering and others sending up flower spears for the first time. Quite excited to see what colour they are.
My Clivia that began to bloom last week is a picture of glorious orange....my photos do not do it justice! There are about 6 flower spikes this year.
There is also evidence of blossoming on plants that haven't flowered before.....so that makes me very happy!
These plants were all given to me by my dear friend Gaye when she had divided hers. She loved her garden. So it is extra special seeing them bloom....I feel like she is looking down and smiling.
A little sprinkle of rain overnight so fingers crossed the weather man is correct and a lot more is on its way!
Have a lovely day folks.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
Lovely reds for your next 1797 round Michelle. These wings blocks are so lovely. I do like your friends quilt - the fabrics she has used give a very interesting effect. Beautiful flower pictures. xx
