Scenes from my Week






From the sewing room
  •   a little scrappy sewing and quilting
From the mailbox
  • happy mail from Julianna (check out her beautiful nursery for the impending baby girl)
From a successful shopping trip
  • backing fabric for my Jacob's ladder quilt - Wildwood Forest Floor by Cloud 9, from Spotlight. It is not as finely woven  as normal quilting cotton, but it is still organic cotton and is quite suitable for a quilt back.  It is a fabric I have loved for a while and the coloiurs echo most of what is in my quilt.  30% off helps too.
From a sunny afternoon walk
  • Newly opened toetoe spied on my walk yesterday - I love their feathery plumes
From the reading pile
  • The Infinite Air by Fiona Kidman, a novel based on New Zealand aviator Jean Batten

  7. Lovely scenes of your week. I love the water shot, I think it's too long since I saw the ocean.
