Vegetables

We've been working out in the garden today. Pulled up the pumpkin and pulled up just one of the potato plants.

I can't believe the crop from this one potato. It was growing in a very good spot - where I've emptied one of the worm farm trays.

Kermit

Muffins

The muffins at my regular coffee stop this miring are Miss Piggy (strawberry and white chocolate) and Kermit (peppermint). How cute is that!

Anniversary flowers

Flowers

It's been a flowers kind of week. I was given a huge bunch from friends for having their son stay with us this week. And Mark gave me flowers for our anniversary.

Echo quilting

I've echo quilted each of the petals on the bag.

Hand quilting

Before and after yesterday's egg hunt, I hand quilted the bag I'm making to go with the pink and green quilts I've made. I'll be posting this off in the next few days to the birthday girl. The basting threads are still in place in the photo.

Off cuts

Here's the off cuts so far.

I'm planning to piece all the chevron blocks, then add a thin border as a bit of visual space, then add a border made of all these off cuts.

Chevrons

I've been working on this chevron pattern over Easter.

I'm really enjoying the mixed up craziness of putting all these fabrics together. I'm also keeping all the off cuts and planning to use them in the border.

Painting

We went to the coast a couple of weeks ago with another family. We stayed in a house owned by Rose's brother. His daughter painted this gorgeous still life. I just had to take a photo of it.

I felt like a bower bird - I just had to collect it.
