Hello to you all and welcome to my new blog. This is my first attempt at blogging so please forgive me if I make a muddle of it! I guess the first post is the hardest but I thought I would write about my passion for quilting and my life in the slow lane now that my husband has retired and we are settled finally in one place.
I have two grown children who finally flew the nest last year and headed for the city lights of London to work but they appear at intervals! I also have 3 cats and plenty to keep me occupied here in Lincolnshire. I try and sew most days but life does have a habit of getting in the way sometimes. I really love to applique with needleturn being my favourite way although I am slow! I have been blessed with a great husband who although cutting up fabric to sew it back together is beyond his comprehension, has learnt to utter "the right noises" when I do finish something. I am also kept busy in the garden and today I took a picture of the apple blossom, it is so pretty and springlike and I hope it means we get a bumper crop this year as apple crumble with custard is a favourite pudding here.
At the moment I am hand quilting an applique quilt called Birds of a Feather by Blackbird Designs, which I finished a couple of months ago. I think it's going to take me quite a while but nice hand sewing if and when we get a summer here. I have various other projects on the go as I can't resist starting lots of new things when they catch my eye.I have two grown children who finally flew the nest last year and headed for the city lights of London to work but they appear at intervals!

Well lets see if I can get this to post.

Lovely blossoms. Are they really as large at they look?!
