Wimbledon Fortnight started yesterday, and as you can see, I'm all ready for it. A quilt binding to handsew and a bowl of strawberries. Strawberries and cream are traditional when you are at Wimbledon, although I did hear that they are charging a small fortune for them there. Personally, I'd rather be sitting in my comfortable armchair eating mine and watching it all on TV than on a hard bench, possibly in blazing sun, or, more likely, this being England, in the rain, eating them. Go Andy!
On another note, remember my worry about this quilt not being acceptable for the Tour de France challenge? (You can read it
here, if you are interested.)
Well it seems that what I had interpreted as a "rule", ie using a light background, was only a suggestion, not a rule. I must therefore offer my apologies to QuiltHaze for misinterpreting things, and also to Margaret, for misleading her. I am truly sorry both of you. I am also delighted that Wheel of Fire will be in the Challenge show after all.
so glad it is in the challenge because that was a challenging project and amazing!
ReplyDeleteYay! Your wheel is most deserving! I knew they'd accept it!

ReplyDeleteOoh, yum, strawberries, cream and tennis. I also love the tennis, but of course it's on when other things are on here at nightime. Oh well, hope to see some of it. Glad your little quilt was accepted as I think it's gorgeous. Take care.
