Brightneedle finish



Can you spy ...? 

Returning from summer holiday



Another summer coming to a close, it makes me feel so sad. We had a wonderful holiday, extremely relaxing and quiet. Most of the time was spent swimming, eating, a little sight seeing and lazing around the pool at our villa.

How strange life can be.

I have been searching for quilters in Greece for some time and I came across Jessica and recently emailed her. She doesn't live here but her husband is Greek and I read that they would be here in the summer. We got to meet, well that was pretty amazing for me and we got to chat about quilting and other things too. It so happens that I actually knew her father-in-law, just imagine finding out that, he was my OB/GYN!!!!!!

If you love to quilt then take a look at her blog, http://littleshika.blogspot.com I hope she updates it very soon with the quilt she is in the process of stitching. I have seen just a little bit of this and her work is fantastic and I am eager to see the end result.

Other news .....



Why I feel like I am 90 years old sometimes! For the third summer in a row I have ended up taking my DS to the hospital. This time he had a nasty fall, hitting and grazing his head and elbow. Thankfully he is fine, a couple of days at home resting and now he is back to his normal self.

Beatrix Potter Quaker Sampler.


My WIP, Beatrix Potter Quaker Sampler. I am using 32ct R&R Daytona Sands fabric and GAST Berry Cobbler. I am progressing slowly but that seems to be the way my life is going too.

We leave in a couple of days, I have yet to decide what comes along with me, a quilting or cross-stitching project.
