Something to show ..

No posting until I had something to show - well, here goes.

This is the knitted skirt for my granddaughter. Soft and warm for autumn days approaching much too quickly. I am well underway with the jumper, but it's not for this month's opam list.

               

And here is the strip quilt I have made for my friend - all done. I have called it "Summer in the west" - bright colours but needing that extra bit of warmth. Just like our summer here! It has been fun sewing this.

Here is the back. It's handquilted along the middle strips and then I tied knots in each square. I have used a thin cotton batting and a pale green fleece for the backing. I have even labelled it! 


I have also been busy sanding the rail on the fence around our terrace. It was white and I want it dark brown. Now I must wait for dry weather so I can paint.  
Who nows when that may be ...


In the meantime I have some ideas I'd like to start on and I must get some bits ready for when we go to visit the in-laws. 

Hay-ho, hay-ho, off to work I go ....
