Nw Zealand cushion cover numbr 2

 

Finished at last.

                                               Hear it is with it's mate.

 I have spent the morning in the garden doing some weeding, this afternoon the forecast rain has arrived, so having nothing else planed I got on and finished the cushion cover I started months ago . All I had to do was the piping and put the back on. I love the Jenny Rayment pattern. I still have two more fat quarts to use,  just waiting for the right pattern for the fabric.   Another thing for  "show and tell on Thursday.

Iron Caddy

I found this pattern on the internet .It is great for going to class as you have your own pressing mat and easy to take you HOT iron home. I used a ready made pressing mat and added extra wadding before backing it. I will take it to my next quilting meeting for "show and tell".

Little Ellingham show 3

The Little Ellingham vintage show was lovely , lots to see . There were demonstration of all the farm machinery working ,with ploughing competition. Heavy  horses ,Vintage Tractors, Vintage vehicle's.

The weather stayed fine both days, just a bit windy. We were glad to be in a marquee rather than our gazebo as I think it might just have taken off.

This was very worth going to, we will be back next year.  9/10 th August  2014

I have just tried to remove some marks made on some of my work ,I hope it works   or I will have to sell at half price. Why do people not own up ?? O.K. enough of the whining .



My runner beans are doing well as is the trumpet vine , you can just see one of the beans .

 The trumpet vine I first found growing in West Vancouver next door to a place my Uncle and Aunt took me for Coffee at   The Bread Garden  .

The flower only last about a day .
