Farmers wife sampler quilt

 

I just found this old post as a draft so I thought I should post it. These are some more of my Farmer's wife sampler quilt blocks that I have made. 

Ihope you enjoy looking at thrm and stay tu n ed to see what they look like once they have a border a r ound them.

Two more blocks

I have decided to do the final row of 13 blocks to add to my Farmer's wife sampler quilt. 

As I had finished 72 blocks already I was going to stop at that and finish putting the quilt together. But as I thought about it I changed my mind and decided to make the last 13 because I think I would regret not making them if I stopped now. So I have made the first 2 of the 13.

Now I just need to find do the next 11.

 

Poochabald art exhibition

I went along to see the recent exhibition at the Rosny school house. It was all about dogs. There was such a huge range of art and ceramic to look at. So many gorgeous dogs as well. The lino print above is one done by my dad of his previous dog.

Here are a few of my favourite pieces. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

 

Runnymede house and garden

When I heard that Runnymede house was having a plant sale I thought, what could be better than an historic house, a beautiful garden and plants for sale.

Luckily the rain stayed away long enough for a very nice stroll around the garden and a chance to buy a few plants.

I love this drive way and there is nothing as interesting as a hedged walkway.

 

Spring brings out the birds

Spring has arrived and the parrots are out and about. I think they are on the look out for food to eat. It is too early for fruit but they are keeping an eye out anyway.

I have caught a few plucking the blossoms off our apricot tree, if they continue they wont have anything to eat later on, neither will we.

 

Bishopstone yarns episode 48, granny square love #knittingpodcast #crochet

Come and join me for my latest episode of Bishopstone yarns and catch up on what I have been making.

Granny square love

 I made this granny square blanket years ago and it now sits on the back of my couch. I really love the colours and the way the white brings out the colours. I see it every day so I was a little saddened when I looked closely at how it was showing its age. So maybe it is time to start making a new one. 

Crochet is not something that I have done much of for quite some time so it is always fun to do something different.

Now I just need to decide on yarn, colours and of course a pattern.
