I have finished the binding on this Blanket of Love..it has gone off in the mail to Cheryll, who gathers them up and then delivers them to hospitals in her area.
It was a beautiful day yesterday
the tide was out but it was still great being near the sea
I was working on getting the next circle on Doing the Rounds, all was going well until one wouldn't sit flat..
Yes, I had put it on back to front!! So some unsewing had to happen...
a few more circles have joined the family
We had visitors yesterday, the people we bought the house from here and the people they bought the house from back in 2001, the other couple bought this house in 1988, they brought along photos to show us the changes they made to the house. We had a great visit. I decided to make a cake...bit of a challenge for me! I had lots of plums in the freezer so got out two containers of stewed plums, by the time I had taken out pips and searched for more pips, the plums were mashed, so they got mixed in with the batter and sprinkled with coconut
and it came out ok! Eben hubby went back for seconds...that is saying something!!
three Book Reading quilts are waiting for their labels and they are done, one more was delivered to the quilter yesterday, she has offered to quilt for me as she says I puit the moz on her machine!! On the way back I went to find a geocache
and found this view
some of the locals watched what I was doing...
and finally, this is where I am up to with Doing the Rounds, it needs the seam trimmed back and a good iron, then I am hoping it will sit flat...fingers crossed!!
I am off now, there is heavy rain and thunder and lightening happening here, very welcome for the garden!
Happy stitching.

We had heavy rain and thunder here in the early hours. It has been a bit wet but has cleared now. Love your Doing the Rounds progress. Had to laugh about your mishap...makes me feel normal lol. That bear quilt will be loved by some child and the reading quilts look great. Well done! The cake looks yummy...gluten free?
