The Quilter's Prayer ...

felt inspired this morning ...

had this wall hanging kit, which I bought from Quilters Trading Post yesterday, made and on the wall before breakfast ...

a close up ...

and congratulations to Bath beating Gloucester today ...

Good luck in the play offs!

Spent the day at Malvern Quilt Show ...

and spent all my pocket money ...

caught up with lovely Steph (smiling and laughing as usual) at the fabulous Cupcake Cottons stand ...

also bumped into my friend Dolores!  Always surprised when that happens - what are the chances of picking the same day and time to visit and bumping into each other! Lovely to see her though!  

Back home now having a cup of tea and looking at my new book ...

Farm Girl Vintage by Lori Holt

any ideas why I might like it? :)

A new Scottish hen ....

Thanks David! Vx

Archie's 11th Birthday ...

was on Sunday ...

He was thoroughly spoilt with a new bed, collar, lead and name tag!  Poppy and Andy also gave him an owl (soft toy I hasten to add!) and a special doggie cupcake!  Poppy made us humans some amazing chocolate orange cupcakes which I would show you but I'm afraid they were eaten so quickly I didn't get a chance to take a photo!

I haven't blogged for a while because it's been a very sad time and I didn't feel it appropriate.  However, life is beginning to get back into some sort of routine and I have begun to sew again.  I bought this tapestry from Jolly Red for Macmillan Coffee Mornings.  I didn't finish it in time for last year's coffee morning but it's early for this year!

I've also been catching up with my Anni Downs' Angel quilt which I'm making at a block a month class at my favourite shop - Cupcake Cottons in Burford ....
