Hello my lovelies. I hope you’ve all had a great Friday. That’s another weekend gone. Did anyone spend anytime in their garden today. Well I did. I spent an hour or so pruning, raking, sweeping and simply wondering why I started the job today!!!!! The hour I spent outside in my front garden was well worth the effort. It already looks better. I have worked out a general plan of action and what I want it to look like when I’m done. It doesn’t cost anything to dream.
What kind of sewing is everyone doing these days? I added the binding to a charity quilt today. I machined the binding onto the front and hand finished it onto the back …..
And I added a label …..
The quilt looks great and I’m sure it will some young person the comfort they need at a difficult time.
Last evening, I sat quietly and di the fine hand stitching on my owl. I auditioned some buttons which I want to sew to the centre of his eye …..
And I hope to find some buttons to add to the lower edge of his body which will represent his feet. Or I might just embroider some talons.
So, most of you will have seen on the news that the UK has a new little prince. Louis Arthur Charles was born on Monday April 23rd at 11:01am. He will be known at His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge. The new prince is fifth in line to the throne. Very exciting news for this week.
It’s been a brilliant week. I stepped out for a bit on Wednesday and spent some time with some like-minded ladies. I spent plenty of time in my sewing room creating. And my garden is starting to shape up. Who could ask for anything more.
So, my friends, I guess that’s my report for today. I hope you have a super cosy evening doing something you thoroughly enjoy. Don’t forget that as of next week, I will be starting summer hours by posting three times a week. Until next time,
Let’s all keep on stitching.

ONE QUILTING STITCH AT A TIME 
Good day to you, have not heard about HRH’s name yet here, but a Mountbatten, an old uncle of mine and a nod to history and grand pa pa is pretty nice.lol Good to get out, right? Plan like a quilt. I like the new one, bye the bye, whites and yellows always bring cheer. You have to find a place on Oliver for those striped buttons, like a lot.
Have a great week end. Three times a week, take a break outside on the two.
