I am happy to say the iron infusion has kicked in this week and the squirrel is back in action, we have been doing a little of this and a little of that!! 😀
We had a beautiful Spring day earlier this week, it was wonderful to be out in the garden, I am happy to say this bed is now weed free
different story out the back but we will get to it!
Tuesday I decided to sandwich a quilt top that has been waiting for ages
it is done but still waiting for some quilting attention.
I have also cut pieces for a new quilt...as you do when you have several others to finish!!
A few more stars have been sewn.
Mt sewing room smells amazing, the jasmine is nearly done but the freesias are wonderful.
This weeks Anthology block
A few more of these little guys have been sewn together...they are very small and one row takes me a while and you don't have a lot to show for it, but it will grow slowly, slowly.
We have a lemon and tangelo tree in the back yard, both with a lot of fruit, so I bought two oranges and a grapefruit to add to what we had and chopped it up to soak over night
Yesterday we ended up with 14 jars of marmalade. Yum.
the blocks are all finished for the batik quilt, now I need to cut sashings, I got a bit distracted (squirrelled)and started another quilt top with Minions image on it, I hope to get back to both of them today.
My major distraction over the last couple of weeks has been this book series
You can join in over here, Cheryll is out host once again. It is a fun way to spend the evening in this time of having to stay at home.
The Seven Sisters is the first in the series, six daughters adopted from different countries around the world, but a wealthy mysterious man. When he dies the sisters are given the information to find where they came from and any biological family they might have in the world. I have them on my Kindle as we don't have access to the library at present because of the lockdown.
Tonight is the first Friday of the month and Friday Night with Friends
Happy weekend every one.
I’m glad you are feeling better. You have accomplished an amazing amount! The marmalade looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that you are feeling better and ready to get back into life. It is lovely weather to be out and about. Good progress in the sewing room. Nothing nicer than marmalade on toast for breakfast. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better. My mouth is watering at the thought of that marmalade, yummy! The quilt looks fantastic. Have a great day, take care, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're feeling more energetic. You're certainly doing a variety of things to keep you occupied.
ReplyDeleteYour marmelade looks wonderful. I love all the different citrus you used
So happy to read you're feeling much better Sue. You are working on so many gorgeous projects - you must never get sick of the same old thing 😉😊 I saw your marmalade on Ig & wanted to reach into my screen !!
ReplyDeleteI am reading Seven Sisters at the moment.... so nice to get into a good series. Well the iron certainly has given you a jump start.... love the hexagon quilt and the batiks together....

Wow your on fire for sure.... Got heaps done...... And the gardens looking lovely..... Must have a look at those books......
ReplyDeleteThe iron infusion has certainly done the trick. You have done so much. The marmalade looks delicious and all your stitching is moving along nicely. Hasn't it been nice to have a bit of good weather to be outside. It was lovely to see you this morning.
ReplyDeleteLots of different projects your working on..
ReplyDeleteThe book series looks really good, enjoy.
Wow! The iron infusion really did work. You have loads going on. Please tell me more about your tiny EPP project.
ReplyDeleteYum, I can almost smell the marmalade.
I missed FNWF & the Zoom (been sick with a cold) but interested to see you can get the Sisters series on a kindle - A few friends are reading them - but I don't get a lot of time to read so something "audio" will be much easier... I must investigate...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the marmalade will be lovely.....
and the jasmine and freesias would smell divine
ReplyDeleteI had hoped the iron infusion would help so yaay - great to hear you're firing on all cylinders again! The garden looks lovely Sue, with or without the weeds and the projects you are working on are fabulous :-) Your stars look great with the backgrounds and that seems a very tiny shape you are sewing - a great scrap buster I imagine! I have read a couple of the 'Sisters' books - I have the rest loaned to me by my MIL to start on next!
ReplyDeleteThose books sound like an interesting read, hope to do some of that in the near future! My jasmine is just flowering now, and smells so good.
