Ooops!!

Hi. Yes I'm still here.
Sorry about that - I didn't realise it had been almost a month. Anyway no great excuses - so I'll just crack on.
The piece below is made up of the left over binding and pieces of fabric I had left from my Bosworth Water Tower. I thought I could use it to try out a few ideas and techniques rather than have them on lots of bits of calico sandwiches all over the place. I promise I'll post it when it's finished.
In my Bramble Patch Class, Bren set us all a 'postcard challenge'. The idea was to exchange postcards and use them as as inspiration to make a gift for the person whose postcard it was.
I forgot to take a photo of the postcard - but it was of a bicycle under a tree in a wild flower meadow with the Oscar Wilde quote of 'I can resist anything but temptation'. Well I can resist anything except tea and cake - so that was what I made.
I received a beautiful Dream Catcher with a dragon fly on it. I'll take a photo for next time.
And as it's the last class for the summer (we meet again in September) I thought I'd take in a Birthday cake - it's just under a month early. I hope you can all see the patchwork flowers on it....
And finally I did the Race for Life on Wednesday last week at Warwick Racecourse. I'm very impressed I managed it - I did jog all of the way (well except when DH was there to let me have a drink). If you'd like to sponsor me - you still can - here's a link to my sponsorship page.

Many thanks to you who have already done so.
Well - that's it for now. Have a great weekend.

Whoohoo I knew you'd manage it! I thought about you the other day as someone else was talking about the Race for Life in Warwick.

Dennis...

...well unfortunately Dennis died last month. Although we were very upset at the time we realise he had a very happy long life (18 years) and he spent his last day in the garden sunning himself . Everyone who came to the house met him - whether they wanted to or not; he was very friendly . So here are a last few photos of him looking like the fat happy orange cat that he was...

How exciting

Hello all. I had a very nice e-mail yesterday telling me I was in October's British Patchwork & Quilting magazine as their featured blog of the month. And yes I'm there on page 68. A very nice surprise as I had no idea my little old blog would make a national publication. So if any of you are looking at my blog for the first time please do leave a comment - I'd love to hear from you.
