And I am late on parade! But have enjoyed catching up with everyone else.
Not a lot of sewing happened here on Friday - just my Stitch Journal for the day. So this month we are 'pretty in pink' and I have enjoyed pulling out a few threads to work with. It seems that for some reason I have a vast amount of pink threads and I don't know why as it is not a favourite colour. Anyway, here we are so far this month.
And here is my finished page for April.
It was lovely to have a visit from my niece and great niece on Friday to help celebrate my birthday - and many thanks to all of you who sent me birthday wishes.
We had a lovely lunch out with of course yummy dessert! Lemon posset.
And a photo for posterity - we don't get to meet up that often.
Earlier in the week I finished quilting the first two borders on Wings
and I have now marked and started quilting the wide applique border. Looking good - photo later. I should get plenty done as my patchwork group has an open day on Tuesday so I should be able to settle down for a good session.
Meanwhile, more celebrations tomorrow and we have a public holiday so there is a car boot sale to visit.
Have a great week.
Happy birthday Lin! It was nice of your niece and great-niece to stop by. That dessert looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Lin! Judging by the smiles in that pictures, it was a lovely day enjoyed by everyone. Happy stitching! ;^)
ReplyDeleteThat's is a lovely picture from your birthday lunch. Birthdays should actually be celebrated as Birth Weeks! Multiple celebrations are required.

Happy belated birthday Lin!! Wow, your family smile gene is so obvious in you three girls - beautiful!! Loving the Wings quilt...excited to see it completed. :-)
ReplyDeleteNice to catch up with family for your Birthday.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on your stitching.
Enjoy quilting the Wings
A belated Happy Birthday! I think we end up with lots of colours we don't like because we acquire bundles for something else in them and never use the colours we're not keen on..
ReplyDeleteDarn, I missed your birthday but good wishes nonetheless. Glad you got to spend some time with family and, good for you!, to manage a photo! Lovely stitching projects. So many different stitches with variations.
