Sewing like I'm possessed

For Tonya's Summer Class. I'm continuing the repetition theme by doing some wonky houses.

The picture has come out a bit dark - bit of a grey day here today.

Quilt No 7 for Qs4L

I love the apple block and Irene's block, first left, second row down.

It's a Bank Holiday here today (Victorie 1945), Alex is off school until next Tuesday and it's raining! DH and I spent yesterday making flower beds in the courtyard. Didn't get very far, but a start is better than nothing.

Itching to get back to the sewing machine, but the list of outside chores is growing by the day. The pool has got to be power washed, with treated with acid, power washed again and then painted and if we want it open soon, as we do, then sewing is going to have to take a back seat.

Donc, A+

Not a lot going on - surprise is progressing well, hand quilting has come to a grinding halt and Alex is off school with a really bad bout of flu.

Yesterday DH and I went out to lunch with fellow Viveurs to a resto (Au Bien Bon) in Périgueux. Gorgeous Périgordian nosh in a lovely setting. 15 English people chatting away - goodness only knows what the French thought!

Lovely things to look at on the walls - baskets, posters ..............................

And here is Magic showing off her beautiful black pads, asleep on Alex's homework!

Got some more tinsel yesterday to replace the rather old tatty ones we've been using up until now. Alex and I are going to decorate the house sometime over the next week. We usually cut lots of conifer and bay tree branches, put them on top of the cupboards and intertwine with tinsel and other glittery bits. The smell is gorgeous when the fires are going.

Also trying to design a winter/festive header.
