Yes it is springtime & I’ve actually been in my garden….this is not a common thing for me, so most are quite shocked at this revelation vbg. My time is scarce & the garden has never been a priority to me with quilting always beckoning me. BUT this year I am hosting christmas for the first time in about 5 years. There will be LOTS of family here & I would love to have a bit nicer garden for them to enjoy together. So it is has been an interesting process so far with much more to do yet!
I am also thrilled to have a reason to make a girly quilt in the very near future! My newest SIL has given birth to a very tiny (2lb 15oz) little girl. The first ‘Browning’ girl since my youngest – Sarah! Mine has just turned 13 last week, so about time we had another little girl in the family. Great excuse to actually make another quilt for sure. Little Ellie was 10 weeks early but mum & bubs are doing great so far. Will be a little while before she is home, but we are all looking forward to christmas with her as well. All her boy cousins can spoil her rotten!
