Still little chilly, but the sun is out more often and it does feel like spring at last!
We even get to sit outside with our coffee now and then and watch the blackbird feeding his young.
He isn't very happy for us being there, had the garden to himself until now.
Trip to Lytes Cary Manor gardens (NT), our regular at this time of year, just to see the wonderful show of camassias and cowslips together, a couple of weeks earlier then usually, probably due to our mild winter this year.
At home I have been carrying on with same projects, Cherry Picker's Garden quilt is still being hand quilted and as for Crojo Retro blanket - is taking time to fill in all those gaps between flowers.
I will be glad to see the end of that one - one day!
Wanting some new applique to sew, I joined Katrina Hadjimichael's "Amelia Rose quilt" (pattern of the month).
This is the first month, central panel.
And this where it ends for me; while I like Katrina's designs, as I was sewing it,
I realised that this is not "me", too busy.
I will probably border, back it and quilted it at some point and it will stay as a small quilt.
Další překrásná zahrada. Nádhera, Radko a pochvala patří i tvé tvorbě.

Dekuji, doufam ze u vas je hezky take!
DeleteI enjoyed coming along with you and seeing your lively scenery. Sometimes you don't know if something suits until you begin x
ReplyDeleteIt has been good to have some dryer weather and some sun. When we visited Lytes Cary it was too wet and muddy away from the main house and gardens. Pretty block but there is a lot going on! xx
ReplyDeleteYour applique is always lovely, Radka. It always amazes me how quickly you stitch each one. Lytes Cary Manor gardens look a delight to wander in. So very pretty. Nice that spring is finally doing its thing there. Your garden is beginning to fill with blossoms.
ReplyDeleteHei Radka!
ReplyDeleteDet høres ut som vi har mye av det samme været, men det må være høyere temperatur hos deg, blomstene er kommet lenger.
Å besøke Engelske hager står på ønskelisten min. Det er så mange fine!
Nydelig Quilt. Er det denne du håndquilter eller er denne en ny dy har begynt på.
Denne applikasjonsformen er du så god på!
