EPP Tuesday and a June finish

It's Piece Yourself Together time again - thank you to Anthea for hosting this link again.





Click on Anthea's name above and you will find the other participants on the right hand side of her blog.

Now, first of all I wrote a blog post for the last PYT link and then forgot to link up! How silly is that? You can read that post here.

Since then not much has happened on the EPP front except that yesterday afternoon with half an eye on this motley crew


playing their Bastille Day bowls competition, I managed to baste quite a few 1/2" hexies.



I have also sent off my hexie swap flower for July but as usual forgot to photograph it!

I finished my June CQJP block last week - this is the finished block with a few closeups






The Dorset Posy in the bottom right corner is not a fixture yet - I am not sure if I like it there or not as I feel it might be a bit too 'heavy'

Anyway, this afternoon I put together my block for July and this is it.

We had friends staying at the weekend and on Sunday morning we went to visit an Open Garden belonging to friends of friends about half an hour south of here. Their beautiful garden contains lots of lovely banana palms which are the gardeners current passion! He even has one with bananas on!


Here are a few more pictures of the garden.






Our garden will never look that neat and tidy!

Have a great week.
