We have quilt off...

To be more accurate I should probably say "we have flimsy off" but it doesn't seem to sound right.

Anyway...

I have finally started sewing together the Sparkle Punch squares

First row, lots of concentration and double checking and I still managed to sew the first square on the wrong way round!

After some unpicking, a lot more concentration and a near miss with my finger and the needle I have two sections complete...

First square now the right way round

I am really liking how this is coming together, it's a little fiddly but definitely worth it and so far it seems very forgiving of seams not lining up exactly.

A little gardening

Our newish house has a nice flat garden that I'd love to get looking beautiful (with minimal gardening experience).

With the intention of making a start this year I've bought some vegetable and flower seeds, some bulbs and some mini plants.

As yet I've made no progress with the seeds or bulbs (this week definitely!) but I have potted on the mini plants so that they can gain some size before going into the garden.

Fingers crossed they all survive.

Read Between the Lines - Week ???

I'm still going with my knitted Read Between the Lines shawl. The make-a-long started on Jan 31st and Scheepjes have now started another crochet-a-long to mark he upcoming wedding.

I won't be joining in with the new project, I'm just about halfway through the original one...

I think the colour change is getting more visible although this does seem to be one of the more subtle combinations.

Definitely more obvious when heaped in its storage box!

Still a significant amount of the whirls left, and some good colour changes to come.
