Shores block 5

Wow - has it really been that long since my last blog post? Time has flown. After spending a good part of the beginning of the year waiting and waiting for work that was overdue, it (of course) all turned up at once and I've spent the best part of 3 weeks working non stop. Not fun but at least we can finally send out some invoices and won't now starve!

Too much work means very little gardening, no allotment at all and not an awful lot of stitching. But I did finish up Shores block 5...


...and am well on the way with block 6, which is surprisingly quick.


And I did take Monday off for a very special day - I went to the quilt exhibition at the V&A with Isabelle! We finally got to meet and it was lovely. Isabelle is gorgeous and I had a great day. I would have got someone to take a photo of us but we were chatting so much I completely forgot! I had my camera with me as well, which was handy as on the way to the train station I saw this:


Swans with four signets. One of our local swans died a few years ago when someone leaked some chemicals into the river, so this is a lovely sight. I'm so glad we have a pair and little ones on the water again.

  1. Congrats on finishing up another block on Shores. It looks wonderful. I'm so jealous that you got to go to the quilt exhibition at the V&A. Hope work eases up and you'll have more time for stitching and gardening.
