Liz's quilt is finished

Finally finished and handed over the quilt to my friend Liz. I am now an expert on Grandmothers flower garden quilts! So much so I have just been given another one to work on but this time three of us are doing it - I'm no fool!!

Even Dizzier!

Just back from my annual trip to Biscarrosse, tanned and sewn out! The flight was horribly early (like 5 AM at Luton!!) but the upside was that we landed at 9.45 French time and by 10.15 we were in Diffus-laine buying fabric! Actually on time for once so it pays to get an early Easy Jet flight though it doesn't make the security staff any friendlier, they really are the nastiest people on the planet.
I took some chrome yellow Nappa leather out with me and made a jacket, also a dress and a shirt so it was very productive - along with several long French lunches when mussels were the order of the day. Local and delicious.
Now I'm back and frantic with WI stuff, and lots of barbies and lunch things.
My latest craft is rag rug making whic I demonstrated at the Hatfied House Living Crafts and am doing so again at a WI Country Craft lunch. Next weekend is our Open Garden day on June 19th so there is a lot of garden tidying going on, and I have just started quilting my newest quilt - so never a slow moment.
