Quilters never seem to have enough hours in the day regardless of how old they are. When you first start most of us had to find time between house chores and children. when you finally retire you have to find time between volunteering work and grandchildren LOL. But find time we do.
This week I have slowly sewing the tucks I have had to make on two corners of the quilt I’m repairing then quilting for one of my family.
One block with the quilting completed
I have just started adding more quilting to this block.
I have removed blue ovals from the corners which were appliquéd to the green silk which has sadly perished and now have to replace the silk and appliqué the blue ovals back on.
One completed quilted corner.
Top cream calico panel for some reason over the last 1 2 years has stretched by a 1inch so have taken a tuck in it. This has happened to two corners, I have sewn the tucks in with very tiny stitches so when I quilt over this area you will not notice where the tuck was I hope??????
We had major septic problems as we have had so much rain, garden bed here has just been completely emptied and we will put an underground drain under it to take away the heavy rain falls from building up near the septic and hopefully this will solve some of the problems.
There is still colour around in the garden.
First of the desert Rose flowers.
Mandarins are nearly ripe enough to eat.
In a few months time you will not recognise this area
I have been fighting computer problems all day, it would keep locking up, and after endless booting I waited till DH came home and then he spent ages trying to solve the problem. I hope it is solved now.
Off to link with Esther on her WOW or WIP’s http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com
Thanks for stopping be. Cheers Glenda
