Good morning from still dark Harrogate, an early wake up this morning, with a sore throat, too!
Glad you are feeling better Mick
What. An amazing quilt GrandMattie, it would be very handy for someone in a wheelchair?
Made two Shepherd’s Pies yesterday, one for the freezer and one for tea. It was too big so will mash the remainder to make rissoles for lunch. Nothing planned today except for shampooing part of a carpet, then hopefully getting the other half done when first half is dry!
Hope to find a moment to read the rest of the days posts.
Have the best day possible folks

Bon voyage, Ash and oldd. I hope the crossing is calm.
Rose, I only started patchworking in lockdown. It’s really not that hard as most of it is in the cutting and machine assembling. I wouldn’t do it the “English” way of cutting out paper shapes, tacking the fabric round them, hand sewing the pieces together…. The fun is in the planning.

Good morning from a cloudy but warm part of La Sarthe, following an evening of rumbling thunder but no rain.

The quilt is beautiful, grandMattie!
I’m glad you were able to enjoy your Chinese meal, Mick.

Thank you for the good wishes for our journey, monk08 today and others yesterday. We shall set off at lunchtime for our 16.30 crossing then an overnight at Portsmouth Travelodge.

I’m developing techniques to accommodate my hip, Taichinan. It’s very grumpy when I first get out of bed then gradually gets the hang of what it’s meant to be doing!

Every blessing to you all. 🦩🥰✝️💐🦩

Good morning from dark, rainy Sefton.
Following last night’s celebration of a 40th birthday, a quiet day is in store. Pleasing news that you’re feeling a bit better Mick and I’m delighted to see your exquisite quilt grandMattie.
Take care and have a good day everyone.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It is still dark in South Yorkshire but I think we will have rain today. It stayed dry yesterday so I managed to get the edges of the lawn strimmed. The new strimmer I bought recently is nice and light but the line feed is a pain in the rear. Today DD and the menfolk are coming for lunch so I have a pineapple upside down cake to make for pudding. Other than that, I have nothing planned except to write some emails and start the new book on my kindle. I am also re-reading Wolf Hall. I’d forgotten what a brilliant piece of writing it is.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning everyone, it’s dry here at the moment in south Gloucestershire, I’m sure it won’t last!
What a beautiful piece of work grandMattie, I honestly wouldn’t know how to start doing something like that!
I need to sort out my wardrobe to karma, a job to start today here I think.
Take care everyone 🌹

Good morning, very wet and thunderstorms today. I think it will be shades darker today

It has to be an inside day, whatever evolves and as always, this includes sewing sessions, which I love. I will continue with wardrobe sorting and may slowly start to delve into my warmer clothes boxes as they will need sorting too but nothing intensive, just what I feel like doing, as and when

Have a good day

Good morning from Bristol. It’s fairly chilly for mid September.
I finished my sampler, lap quilt last night. I’ve got another smaller one to finish today/tomorrow. I’ve o idea what I’ll do with them.
The weather was miserable yesterday, so unless I needed to go out, I stayed in, doing little.
After church this morning, I’ve got little on and shall try to finish quilt #2.
I hope all your plans for today come to fruition and give you happiness. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩

Good Morning Everyone,
Dark but dry out here in brackley this morning.
Today a easy day in , I did have a Chinese Take Away last night and enjoyed it .
