No stitching this week. Since finishing Rachel, I've been working exclusively on my Hex on the Beach. I'm a quarter of the way done!
10 rows complete! The quilt is folded over on itself so as to fit in the picture better. I can't wait to change colors.
I am late posting my TUSAL for May. Here are my ORTs.
Lots of red from Rachel Howells.
The boy child and cat have been settling back nicely. Boy child has been busy applying for summer jobs. Cat has been showing her disapproval of boy child being gone so long. But she's giving in gradually to the old ways.
Grudgingly cuddling.
Much closer.
Back to normal.
Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi. I hope you all have a great week!
whoua ! quel travail c'est comme ont dit en Frannçais toutes ces coutures : " jardin de grand mère "

Wow...those colors are so gorgeous together! No matter how old they are...we still love to watch them sleep!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
Robyn
love, love, love hex on the beach! lovely zesty summer colours!
ReplyDeleteThat Hex on the Beach quilt is to die for. Now I'm kicking myself for not getting it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Eli and Mia are both settling into their old ways which is a good thing. Hope that Eli finds some summer employment soon. Poor Nick has been working since the day he got home - 13 days out of 14. I think that the hard reality of a working life are hitting him hard! LOL
Oh your hexi quilt is fabulous, striking colours.
ReplyDeleteGlad Mia has got her playmate back home again!
Wishing you a sunny week, it's cold here yet again!
Love your Hex on the Beach. I love the colors and glad I purchased it. Glad Mia is slowly forgiving your son for leaving. Cats are so funny. I love them so.

The colors in your quilt are so pretty, Margaret! It reminds me of a tropical sunset or a fire. Really beautiful! Glad to see the BC and Mia getting back into the groove!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous colors in your quilt--it really does remind me of those warm, lazy nights sitting on a tropical beach somewhere :)

ReplyDeleteOh my, hexi is beautiful and I can't wait to see your progress!!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt on BC isn't so bad either...LOL.
Isn't it funny how our furry pets will give us a bit of "punishment" for being away and then back to the cuddle. Glad to see BC is home for the summer.
