I bought Karen Styles Star a day pattern and templates but I just could get the precision I get with English paper piecing. I like the idea of committing to making a star a day however so I am doing mine in English paper piecing, from here on in called EPP. There are 66 pieces in each block unless I have miscalculated so it's quite an undertaking. Each 60 degree diamond measures one inch long the sides. So the finished block has five inch sides. There are many ways to assemble these Seven Sisters blocks. I am slow at producing these as I am doing about 24 stitches per inch. I know a lot of people do 8 stitches per inch, but I love the perfection of more stitches. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFZex_jodF9tkx4E9FBucO_CUxQ413XBuzq2SsiveoTLZeJcMTtFUYJ7FTlwvxU80TSCeJXxJZghRQWnlST8h6rJMWkCCdACfebWpnUuAgvEXeTJa-e7pG6vOgvZ5anjmd_Lk477AHczs/s2048/20210123_143606.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFZex_jodF9tkx4E9FBucO_CUxQ413XBuzq2SsiveoTLZeJcMTtFUYJ7FTlwvxU80TSCeJXxJZghRQWnlST8h6rJMWkCCdACfebWpnUuAgvEXeTJa-e7pG6vOgvZ5anjmd_Lk477AHczs/w640-h640/20210123_143606.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhoP5PVfeFxg2G9DlHfr9XbgaoEmd1prkSmXXjz8MEwtkAH2H_0FFEuNXBa8zXWZqWhIhT945Q3xii3VZ7sawwr6oGjTrf00G9zDAzDgeBogEkUd3Ndr4wJENioqoGqBfzq1P2c72eVWQ/s2048/20210108_183506.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhoP5PVfeFxg2G9DlHfr9XbgaoEmd1prkSmXXjz8MEwtkAH2H_0FFEuNXBa8zXWZqWhIhT945Q3xii3VZ7sawwr6oGjTrf00G9zDAzDgeBogEkUd3Ndr4wJENioqoGqBfzq1P2c72eVWQ/w640-h640/20210108_183506.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio3053kD7lsouPWPdzyLxFnaa_C01W87HufgBqLTQcQjOeZBywpRXmA4a9twuWt2Rm_2SLBG1CoduF-1miDLFlqhUoXUGlk9puWLu6nLZivEJyiTAe3AjuQOvapsIUYluMkRmu14Pks94/s2048/20201225_133548.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio3053kD7lsouPWPdzyLxFnaa_C01W87HufgBqLTQcQjOeZBywpRXmA4a9twuWt2Rm_2SLBG1CoduF-1miDLFlqhUoXUGlk9puWLu6nLZivEJyiTAe3AjuQOvapsIUYluMkRmu14Pks94/w640-h640/20201225_133548.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxs5UmFpZ-CmvtV5ekA2KTuamJ_fZi1fo2YFqsVVZ8J0XG0-APVpBQMtjGhhOAVIWnoGp535LgWxkPm6MOO5Ith8Ppqqv4qQR9-y1f2OYpUeOXOQ9jE0UUmfh6AGZ_NknucHiWZdy-7dc/s2048/20201210_164551.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxs5UmFpZ-CmvtV5ekA2KTuamJ_fZi1fo2YFqsVVZ8J0XG0-APVpBQMtjGhhOAVIWnoGp535LgWxkPm6MOO5Ith8Ppqqv4qQR9-y1f2OYpUeOXOQ9jE0UUmfh6AGZ_NknucHiWZdy-7dc/w640-h640/20201210_164551.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>At the rate of a star a day, it takes a week to have enough for one Seven Sisters block. but it takes me another couple of weeks to turn the stars into a block. </div><div><br /></div><div>As I am working on the applique vases on the other quilt, I am prioritising those, but still committing to a star a day. </div><div><br /></div><div>Happy Valentines Day. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAcFWd6yp4DLIQ8dpWL2vsEzRJ7BgdUx2OmR3HMv3FSFDtwo6awbC1tQJGjrr1u5N7MyemikUUdK1CDx9K6VLVPjtpjEBxYWPUKCfk5fYJZmGgCMqT5FWchGTJnLU7_8epInoWZR05rXI/s928/16508540_10154565363552880_911830262834267381_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="928" data-original-width="888" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAcFWd6yp4DLIQ8dpWL2vsEzRJ7BgdUx2OmR3HMv3FSFDtwo6awbC1tQJGjrr1u5N7MyemikUUdK1CDx9K6VLVPjtpjEBxYWPUKCfk5fYJZmGgCMqT5FWchGTJnLU7_8epInoWZR05rXI/w612-h640/16508540_10154565363552880_911830262834267381_n.jpg" width="612" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div></div>Featheronawire Sally Bramaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724148087746233712noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236789502357650552.post-69877724466459421842020-08-19T14:52:00.003+01:002020-08-19T14:52:37.324+01:00Lost my mojo for quite some time..... but it's coming back<p> This is block 9 of 25, 8 inches square.

I have appliqued a few more vases. Somehow although I sit down to sew, it doesn't happen. My mind is on other things. Things like at the time of writing 30,000 of our countrymen have died. The figure is more likely to be at least 50,000 as only those who were tested have been counted. We are in Lockdown, or more precisely we are Shielding which is one stage up from Lockdown. We don't go out to buy food, in fact we don't go out for anything at all except a little exercise, and to walk the dogs.<br />

We are so lucky to live in an area where we can do this without coming across others. In fact if it weren't for worrying about others, this would be great. My husband is home all day every day, and I am pleased to say we get on really well. On so many online groups I see partners breaking up under the strain of being together 24/7.Being in Lockdown with anyone on the planet, I would chose him.<br />

The bluebells in the forest have been magnificent this year. We had the wettest winter on record, followed by the warmest sunniest April. This hasn't been good for farmers, crops were drowning in the fields and then when they finally could get back on the land without compressing the wet soil to plant, then things withered in the heat and the lack of rain..... All of this brings to attention how much we rely on other countries for food imports. Covid 19, panic buying, and people eating at home all day every day have meant shortages in supermarkets. </div>

Some people have fallen through the cracks but on the whole our government stepped up and gave companies the right to furlough employees (if they couldn't work from home) on 80% of salary paid for by the government. Self employed people have a similar deal based on what they've been earning in the same period last year. However there are some businesses which won't recover. Tourism and entertainments, restaurants, pubs being a major ones. It will be a long time before we are willing as a country to be with other people. </div>

That's the upside of what they have done. But there have been major failures. Huge failures. Putting the country into Lockdown when the virus already had a hold on the population perhaps being the worst. Not maintaining our supply of PPE and keeping it in date, not ordering PPE early enough from other countries, not making use of British manufacturers ready and will to supply. Not having a enough testing. Not looking after those in care homes. The list is endless.</div>

Our daughter is still in London, working from home in a shared apartment. She still gets to exercise round Regent's Park and discovers new areas. These were taken this week.<br />
<br />
If you think when your children grow up, you worry less, miss them less you are wrong. I need to hug her. It's a physical need. We have Portals which are good but nothing like having her here.<br />

Ellie bought us some of her eggs. They are just so very beautiful.<br />
<br />
I have used online supermarket shopping anyway, in the first couple of weeks it was hard finding a delivery slot, but now our particular supermarket have recognised us as loyal customers and we get a delivery every week. I used to have deliveries every 4-5 days, but this is an easy workaround. For things unavailable online one of the villagers goes to the supermarket down the hill in Monmouth once a week. She leaves it on the doormat, knocks then steps back about 10 foot. Everything coming into the house either gets washed down in a bleach solution or is left for three days untouched.<br />
<br />
So far one person we've known for over 20 years has died, he has left 3 young children. We weren't close but it brings it home how dangerous this is.<br />
<br />
Stay safe. x<br />

On our lives, I don't think too much happened in 2019. Fliss and I didn't go to the Festival of Quilts this year but had a very nice few days down in Cornwall doing an applique course with Margaret Mew.<br />

We are all doing well. Except I had a nasty fall which involved a footstool and me ripping my leg open. I had to keep the leg elevated for six weeks. That put my weight loss journey back. All is back on track now. I think we've had they greyest rainiest winter ever. Today is the first two days of sunshine in a row since September. And it's been far warmer than a normal winter. Climate change is real. And frightening.<br />

And then there's Brexit. What can I say? A nation has committed itself to losing it's biggest trading partner willingly. Insane. So much emotional energy has gone into fighting the fight against Brexit, I am exhausted and having lost I, and many others are grieving our collective loss of freedoms.Featheronawire Sally Bramaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724148087746233712noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236789502357650552.post-2320460712262210092019-01-28T13:54:00.000+00:002019-01-28T13:54:28.554+00:00Update<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The best laid plans go astray. But to keep my own dairy of this quilts progress or lack thereof, I have nearly finished the second of the four outer borders of my English Paper Pieced quilt. And although these are the outer borders, there will be another one inserted between these and the other borders in my last post. It will probably be applique.<br />

I found this lovely Prussian Blue in my stash. These honeycomb shapes are one inch long on each side. I love this colour so much but it is a tightly woven glazed fabric and is hard to stitch by hand. I'll limit myself to just using a little because of this. Plus a small sprinkling will add a little zing.<br />
<br />
Did I tell you we have gone on a Low Carb High Fat way of eating? It worried me eating all that fat but not only have I dropped 30 plus pounds, but my blood pressure and cholesterol have also dropped. We went off piste over Christmas and I regret not just going off plan for Christmas day. It's great being on a diet that not only works but doesn't leave you feeling hungry. Occasionally I find myself craving chocolate coated raisins but a little cheese takes that away.<br />

I made cakes over the Christmas season but not for us, just as little thank you gifts for a few people in the village. They were triple vanilla and layers of red and green cake under the icing. And I didn't eat any of them! (Well, I did lick the beaters after I had loaded the cake tins...)<br />

Rupert and Millie seem to be getting more laid back as the winter gets colder. Except when they are out walking when Rupert chases squirrels and Millie hunts rabbit poo........ My old Danes used to chase deer but these two seem to realise their little legs are useless for such pursuits.<br />

And my life is getting better. I am on a Low Carb High Fat diet. Going down to 20-40 grams a day. My pain levels have dropped about 80%. The impetus was getting a prediabetic blood test result. After two months my bloods were nearly normal. As the blood test I had was indicative of the previous 3 months, I suspect it's well below now. And I've lost over 20 pounds. Win.</div>

I like blogging but not so much from my iPad or my phone. My PC is beyond frustrating, it is beyond slow. So here is an up date from my iPad not made easy as Millie is on my lap...<br />
<br />
I am still working on the English Paper Pieced quilt. I love it but wish it were faster.<br />
<br />
And now I give up..... I would love to post more but blogger is not uploading photos properly in edit mode from my iPad. I can see them in the preview, the two are there but it wonβt let me scroll down to write more. The 2nd photo shows one of the cornerstones of the first border. I am working on the third border but I cannot get the photos to load....... sorry<br />

I plan to lay them out as a border something like this below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think I have done enough for about two sides so far. I don't want to count them as I just want to enjoy the process.<br />
<br />
I stitch away from myself with the furthest hexagon just slightly raised above the one in front of me. I find this makes it easier just to catch a couple of threads.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
At the beginning and end of each seam, I wind the thread round the needle twice to strengthen the weakest point. It also means if the thread should fail at some point in the future, it will only be one seam which needs fixing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I hit a dead end and need to get back to where I started, I travel the thread under the seam allowance winding the thread around the needle twice at the beginning and end of each seam as above.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And I have found my Fiskars hexagon punch will happily cope with a double thickness of my 165gr paper. This means I can cut out about 150 hexagons in a matter of a few minutes.<br />

All of these above are from Dutch Heritage fabrics by Petra Prinns and Nel Kooiman. Each one has half inch sides and is one inch from point to furthest point.<br />
<br />
I will try and put the following ones with their 'friends' from the same fabric.<br />

I start by using a smear of glue from a glue stick to hold the paper in place on the back of the fabric. I try to line up the design with hopefully at least two points on the print. And for some reason, Blogger isn't letting me show you how today.....<br />
<br />
I'll try in in another post....... I don't even want to begin telling you the problems I have had getting these off my new phone....... Technology is wonderful when it works..... I thought Blogger was a google product so I am surprised how difficult it has been. I also tried from my iPad, heaven help me....... grrrrrrr lolsFeatheronawire Sally Bramaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724148087746233712noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236789502357650552.post-45168999869475902072017-09-14T12:42:00.000+01:002017-09-14T12:43:40.051+01:00Huge change to our little house.From when we bought the house 15 years ago we planned to change the windows. We thought we'd do it soon after moving in 5 years ago but we got quotes either for silly money or for reasonable money but with companies who insisted we didn't need planning consent. After the kitchen was done, and both the bathrooms, I couldn't delay it any longer. Although double glazed, the patio doors let in a draft and the wood was in definite need of resealing. This time I got quotes from east of the house rather than the west. One was for silly money, one was for half way between the cheapest and the highest and they would get planning consent. The windows were ugly and it turned out not what planning consent had been in the first place........ This is the before shot.<br />

Karen Styles came to the UK for the Festival of Quilts and whilst she was here did a Workshop at Cowslip and at Sue Watters house. As Sue lives 30 miles away I wanted to go. A lovely couple of days of soothing hand work, except I hadn't allowed for the roadworks outside Gloucester on the way home. It took nearly 2 hours to do those 30 miles...... It used up a lot of my precious spoons. (Google spoon theory if you think I am talking gobbledegook) </div>

He died exactly eight years to the day from when we got him as a kitten. We have done much soul searching about whether we were/ are right to let them out. We think we are. He has chased rabbits, butterflies, shrews and squirrels. He has been drenched by the rain, waded in deep snow, had the odd cat fight, got stuck up a tree and many many adventures he would not have had as an indoor cat. Our feelings are, better eight years of adventures than sixteen of none. My heart aches again for my four legged friend. George was mine by his choice, Rosie loves my husband more. For those of you new to my blog, Rosie and George are British Shorthair cats. George's pedigree name was Porteous Bounty Hunter.Featheronawire Sally Bramaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724148087746233712noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236789502357650552.post-25494667075319914142017-08-19T14:55:00.000+01:002017-08-19T14:55:26.644+01:00Starting Jane Austen coverlet/quiltDo you remember some time ago, I rescued a pair of 1980s curtains made of Warner fabric in the same design as the centre of the Jane Austen coverlet? The time has come to start it.<br />

I have measured the angle of the diamonds on the original, it seems to vary between 70Β° and 75Β°. To fit the smaller diamonds around it, whatever size I use, needs to be divisible by 11.<br />
<br />
I cut out diamonds in multiples of 1ΒΌ", 1 1/8" and 1". And with both, I cut it at 70Β°and 75Β°. I tried to align the flowers and the birds the same as the original. In the original the base of the basket is not quite on the horizontal.... I wasn't aware of being OCD but this annoys me. I know they did it to accommodate both the birds at the top but it is like a painting hanging askew.<br />

I am fairly sure this will be the way I shall piece mine. You can see how those little diamonds at the bottom and the sides have to be a third the edge and vertical length of the bigger diamonds and why the bigger central square has to be divisible by eleven to fit the sashing which also has to fit the tiny diamonds at the edges.</div>

Had you realised that the larger and tiny diamonds are mirrors imaged both side to side and top to bottom? I think I will go the extra mile to mirror image in the centre section, but the outer border, probably not. </div>

I went through another episode of having workmen in the house when we had our en suite shower room remodelled. You know how magazines show bathrooms, with no shampoo, body wash or conditioner in the shower? In real life no bathroom is like that, so here it is in all its normal use.<br />

I have managed to get rid of most of the clutter since this photo was taken but not all of it.<br />
<br />
Next month all the windows and doors will be replaced except for the front door. I am looking forward to having a draft free home come the winter but not perhaps another episode of workmen......<br />
<br />
Then there is the saga of the sitting room. After living here five years we thought back in April it was time to decorate and actually use the room.... It had an exceptionally ugly fireplace which would not be too big a deal to replace, were it not for the fact the hearth went right round the chimney breast and that would mean replacing the oak floor..... So we thought we would try painting the bricks whilst we got the rest of the room painted. That involved having someone in our space too..... These guys are all OK but they're in my space..... Anyway, it was done and painting the fireplace worked and the room looked fresher for a coat of paint. There was just a slight smell of paint so I opened all the windows and did the same the following day.<br />
<br />
Wouldn't you know it? A tom cat got in and sprayed. The room stank. Really stank. We removed everything except the sofa frames from the room and placed it all in the hallway. None of the stuff in the hall smelt so that meant it had either sprayed the sofa frames or the walls. I bought a UV torch and went slowly round the room. The only things which showed up on it were a few tiny spots on the backs and the sides of the sofas and the white polyester thread used to hem the curtains (drapes). At this point, I got some kids in who could crawl around and find the smell offering sweets to whoever located the source. They got some sweets anyway.<br />
<br />
I had left the very small windows open to let some air in hoping the smell would fade. It didn't. My only chance now was to get a professional upholstery cleaner in to try and remove the smell from those tiny dots on the backs of the sofas. For 24 hours or so the smell disappeared. And then came back again.... There was nothing for it but to get rid of the sofas. I offered one to my handyman as he has a barn. I thought if he left it in there until Christmas the smell would surely have gone by then. He said if his wife liked it, they would try that, but if she didn't he would burn it. Another month went by and the room still smelt of tom cat.<br />

<br />
So I offered our beautiful antique sofa to anyone on the village Facebook Group with a barn to store it in until the smell disappeared. One person took it and very delighted. We had spent a fortune getting it reupholstered. But what could we do?<br />
<br />
Then a few weeks ago I saw an article saying the brand of paint we used had a preservative removed and thousands of people had been affected. It was the paint!!!!! I had searched online for paint smelling and the brand we used was recommended as the go to paint for its low smell...... People had ripped out carpets, moved children out of rooms, lost rent on rental properties.... so many people affected. They have offered to replace the paint, supply some primer which will seal in the layer with the smelly paint and pay someone to repaint it. That really doesn't cover it at all. As I write, I still have a smelly sitting room with two replacement sofas in it...... grrrr<br />

It was designed by Di Ford Hall and released as a block every other month by Quiltmania. It kept me sane making a quilt whilst Frank lay at my feet slowly fading away over 7 months. I didn't have to make any decisions about it, most was done by hand. I made a few changes but not many and nothing which changed the overall impression of the original.<br />
<br />
Back at the Festival of quilts over the weekend, I added to my stash. Of course, I did.<br />
<br />
I bought this glazed one from Sallieed who sells on Instagram and in Bristol. She said it was 1930s. How different our 1930s fabrics are from American feedsacks.<br />

I have been looking for fabrics to put into a Jane Austen quilt, they don't have to be exact reproductions of the era, but should vaguely represent the colours and hopefully the styles. The colours are more important.<br />

This last one is a fabric I had been searching for. I was told only 2 bolts made it into the UK, there were just over 6 metres left and I grabbed them.<br />

It was hard to get photos as it is behind glass. That 1Β½" is amazing. Looking close up, I thought it was pieced from ribbons but I don't know.<br />
<br />
It makes the modern one in my previous post seem enormous.<br />
<br />
<br />
The following photos are all the same quilt. I am not normally a fan of bling on quilts, but in this case it really did add to the effect. For some reason, the close ups beached out the gold background colour.<br />

The colours attracted me to this one.<br />

Through no fault of her own, nor her previous owner, Millie need a new home with another dog. It was the best decision ever. They play and cuddle up together. Only chews and bones cause a little friction and that isn't fighting, just they will bark at each other, not growling but barking persistently and loudly..... You can't have everything.</div>

I got lucky when applying the border. I had a quarter inch to spare! I cut my border at 2ΒΌ" folded it in half, lined it up with those dots, then cut the quilt back 5/8ths of an inch away from the stitching line. </div>

This makes the binding really nice and fat. On the downside, you have to force that 5/8th" in with every stitch. Add to that Rupert is still chewing everything in sight and it makes for slow going but I am getting there....</div>

I make a point of always trying to ignore quilt judging comments unless they are nice. These ones were, so all is good. </div>

We have been on no trips anywhere interesting, mainly because Rupert gets so car sick even over 3 miles. I had stayed with him whilst house training was going on and that has worked. But he is a chewer. He will chew anything and everything. Everything. Money, chairs, cables, cushions, magazines, tissues, books, phones, ipads, anything and everything. It is getting better but we still have a long way to go. I have made a tea of chilli powder and put it into a spray bottle. Whenever he finds something new to chew, it gets sprayed. He has chew toys and bones. He chews those as well...... But he is cute and lovable. He has saved my sanity over Brexit and Trump. Whenever I despair he gives me a cuddle and for a few minutes all is right in my world.<br />
<br />
Did I mention he chews everything? I had one day when I stitched a few hexagons, but you guessed it. I put it out of reach on a table to turn off a timer, and he ate it. Luckily I caught him before he swallowed the needle....<br />
<br />
So if you like puppies, see how big he is getting. If not, just ignore this post.<br />

But first my very slow progress with the applique work. I knew I wouldn't get nearly as much done, but not quite how much a puppy restricts your sewing time. It is flat, but it was too hard to leave Rupert and take a photo on the design wall. There are periods whilst he sleeps but rather like a mother with a new baby, that is the precious time you get things done.<br />
<br />
Darling Rupert likes to eat everything, all the time, everything..... and when he isn't trying to eat it, he he trying to make love to it..... sigh. He will grow out of this phase...<br />
And he is too adorable to be angry with him.<br />

So getting back to the cold shower. On the 20th May whilst I had a lovely day at Malvern, my husbands shower went cold. He called the plumber out but couldn't get the part until the Monday. This part wasn't guaranteed to work but it was worth trying. And it didn't. Our utility/laundry room is small and it has an American fridge/freezer as well as the boiler, a blocked off door to the side walkway of the house with some kitchen worktop as a cat feeding station, and shelving. Impossible to get a clear shot of it but here is a limited view.<br />

The death of the boiler gave us the opportunity to have an outside one to release a bit more space indoors, so I could have a bigger freezer.<br />

This is what it looked like with the flooring ripped up and a temporary cat feeding table.<br />
My sitting room has an American fridge freezer smack bang in the middle of it.<br />

The replacement flooring went down today. Tomorrow the new fridge and freezer should arrive. Wednesday with a fair wind the washing machine and dryer will be re plumbed in and if it rains (please pray for rain) the cat feeding station will be adapted and go back into place.<br />
Four and a half weeks of chaos and a new puppy and wet weather...<br />
<br />
<br />
The above was written yesterday. This morning very early, the new fridge and freezer arrived. The plumber came to plumb in the washing machine and tomorrow Andy will come to refit the cat feeding station. I long for life to get back to normal..... :-)<br />

And that is without my country going into suicide mode with Brexit. It has broken my heart. I feel I never really knew my fellow countrymen. We even looked at living elsewhere but it seems all countries have a major flaw or two so we'll stay put.... Canada seems nice but I have no idea of the criteria of getting in and it is so far away from London and Fliss. Dublin sounded great for a few minutes until you remember their laws on women's issues.... The Mediterranean is too hot... America has its guns..... I still keep hoping there is some way out of this mess.<br />

And a little video here of him going slightly insane with a rattle. I only let him have it for 5 minutes a day or it drives me insane. Without the volume, he looks quite cute, with it, the yapping can drive you insane.<br />

I liked this quilt very much. It seems the simple 'cheat' of using quilts from the same manufacturer means the colours blend so well. 'Granny Squares' by Elizabeth Ingram and longarmed by her too. It was in the Charity Fundraising Quilts section. In memory of her father.<br />

This is a super quilt. It needs help to hang well I think. I would have been tempted to add some tapes for it to hang with. Made by Birgit Schuller and longarm quilted.<br />
