I'm back again ...

... (did you even notice I was missing?)  We had a super holiday, travelling round Britain on one of these

(only kidding, we were on steam trains, but I saw this at one of the stations and thought it was great fun) seeing wonderful scenery and eating wonderful food. We've been from London, down to almost the tip of Cornwall, up through Wales to the top of Scotland, over the sea to Skye, back down the other side of Scotland and then down to London again. We went with our friends from Cornwall again this year, and as an added bonus Scrappy and her husband were there too.

We got home yesterday, and now the diets start and the washing machine and iron are working overtime. Soon I'll get back to pattern writing and then I can get Big Bertha out and start quilting things like Coloured Boxes and Tubix.

  7. Sounds like a lovely holiday and with lots of friends too. When there last time, we visited the Isle of Skye and I thought it amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with the two quilts. Take care.
