Serendipity
Back again! Its been a long week,still trying to make the house look attractive for the estate agents and clearing out all the junk. In order to hide all the junk we wish to keep, I first had to clear out the old junk from the loft---and guess what I found? All my old city and guilds folders and files and SAMPLES..... hurrah ,I have been panicking as I have to have my first 4 journal quilts completed by the end of the month and I had run out of hand dyed green assorted cottons to finish them, when ,bobs your uncle, I found a whole bag of assorted fabrics silks ,cottons.muslin's all dyed green, -- shades of....dark, light, yellowy, bluey, perfick! enough for the whole year , I think that's called serendipity.
JOURNAL QUILTS
I based this on a stunning photo of a fritillaria someone showed me, I dont have any as the extreme snow we had this winter combined with mr shedmans greedy chickens have wiped out more than half of my bub collection.

A totally mad week
Every one at my house is running about like headless chickens taking stuff to the tip, painting, cleaning,trying to make the house look nice for the photos ,it does,they are great.In between I have managed a little sewing, finishing some little jackets that I have made for some of the babies in my mums and tots group,I like making these, I have an old prima pattern about 20 years old sometimes they are simply a layer of fleece and a layer of cotton fabric, sometimes I do the whole patchwork thing ,I usually have something on the go because there is always another baby coming along in our village . I have just tidied my sewing room so drastically I may never find anything again I hope we sell soon or I shall unpack it all again
