Whoops I missed the deadline again- my Saturdays just keep rolling into Sundays all for very good reasons which I am not going into .
I have been feeling so rough this week after a summer cold and cough came along and hit me on Monday, I was coughing so much through the night that I thought I was going to die. Needles to say I have survived with the help of cough medicine and am now on decongestant to sort everything else out.
After all this I have managed 6 Klosjes so my total is now 42 , you will also see I have put the dutch quilt together. Although I like it I am not entirely happy with my workmanship on it- I suppose I should have waited until I was feeling tip- top to carry on but you know how some quilts get you and you just want it DONE.
The English countryside and gardens are looking just great right now and I drive past this field on the way to the nursing home 4 times a week, All of a sudden over the last couple of weeks I saw a few red blotches appearing and on Friday the poppies seemed to be in all their glory. It really is such a wonderful sight to gladden your heart.
Enjoy.

Isn't this country marvelous. There is always something beautiful to look at within a short distance. I adore poppies. I love the softness of your quilt top Sue and it doesn't really matter if it is perfect or not. The point is that you made it and others will enjoy it too. Glad you are feeling a bit better.

ReplyDeletereason so many people are making them? Is there a limit to how many you make and are you making them for a special quilt?
I'd love to know.
