All looks very organised, comfy and workmanlike Brenda. Sending hugs and best wishes for your new home and particularly your sewing room.

I meant to start previous post with a WOW Rosemary. So many clever and creative things. You put me to shame.

Oh my, so long since I took part. I blame it on the fact that because we have been having so many threatened or real thunderstorms. Our house and systems are very vulnurable so everything has to go off and then I don't always remember to open up all my sites.

Also, of course, it is summer and I am spending almost all my time outside rather then up here on my desktop where PP lives.

I have been doing one or two things and will post pics when finished.

Hugs to everyone xxxx

Yup, but it is a long time coming this year. Have never known it so cold and miserable this late in April. Unfortunately it has not produced any much needed rain.

Not p & q but my latest project. We all made a reversible sunhat via our Cosi Zoom workshop last Saturday.

Oh feel for you Brenda but absolutely agree, as long a I can keep sewing and gardening I will be happy.

Love that story Winnie, still chuckling xxx

My daughter is a world worker/traveller so can't see her wanting all my stuff, even though she can and does sew occasionally. I love following her adventures but am also envious of friends who have daughters within reach.

I had my first Pfizer last Tuesday with no problems and have appointment for 2nd three weeks after first. Was a slow start for we 70s in Mallorca but seem to be going great guns now.

Hi Winnie

Lovely to hear from you. Hope you are doing OK. I have no serious patchwork friends around here so heaven knows what would happen.

I do remember various occasions, via the Quilters Guild when I lived in England, being delighted to buy fabrics, etc., for the benefit of the QG when somebody had died. I still use a very large square ruler I bought and mentally thank the unknown quilter.

Ha ha Eileen, regarding looking and feeling and putting back. It is because you are still too young! At my age, 77, I look at my vast cupboard full of fabrics etc and think OMG who will deal with this when I die so it makes it much easier to use my favourites!!! lol. xxx

I find that making small useful things for our use or as gifts fills the mojo gaps.

Latest little Zoom project with my Palma group. I really like this design so am making another one. Have also made 2 placemats to match for our outside table.

As keen eyed people will notice I didn't mirror image the centre panel. Oh well I still like it. I really must stop and think when I hear the word "espejo".

I am really enjoying the March Hares on my calendar. Are they yours Rosemary?

Gosh, that takes me back many years Rosemary. I had a friend whose daughter was a serious dolls house person and I made a tiny quilt for her.

Love it Margaret, well done.

When you say "the original photo" I assume you mean on your computer or whatever, before you upload to a PP folder?

How can I do that for myself Margaret?

Two little recent projects. Small but better than nothing!

The vase was a Zoom workshop with my Palma group. Very fiddly!

The placemats are for kitchen breakfast bar.

As always my photos come out wrong way round. Can anyone tell me how to correct this?

Really sweet Rosemary.

I am just making two placemats for our kitchen breakfast bar.

Sorry Brenda, can't find it so far.

Great start to the year Eileen and Margaret. Love them.

Hi Brenda. Yes I did try some years ago. Will try and find and post photo. It's different and satisfying to do but a bit too much for my eyes these days.

I am working hard and long on a fabric vase (for dry things, obviously). It was a Zoom workshop last Saturday with my Palma patchwork group. Lots of very fiddly hand sewing, not really my cup of tea.
