Lost?

Lost days. Lost weight. The connection? Stupid germs. And I got them all by myself, not a child to blame. As much as I appreciate the weight loss, I don't think these are the sort of pounds that stay off, unfortunately!

But im just abut back to fighting fit now. Which is good, as tomorrow I am taking the girls and a friend of theirs to London for the day. As usual it will be a day of food as per our usual London jaunts. Bring on the dim sum. And any other treats we so desire. 

Meanwhile I finished a quilt top. I'll give you a sneaky peek, small and innocuous, and surely Love Patchwork & Quilting won't mind that. 


I've been working with the Essex linens and am totally in love with them. Never before did I consider using them exclusively in a quilt top but I'd do it again. I'm rather looking forward to seeing how soft this quilt goes with washing as the linen is so tactile already. And, for once in my life, I actually have known how I want to quilt this almost from the get go. It may take me a while to accomplish but I think it will suit the pattern. 

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer holidays if they are north of the equator, and that summer actually comes back. If it doesn't we are going to freeze our butts off in northern Scotland in a few weeks time!

    Your weather there is playing games this Summer- a few weeks ago people were boiling hot and now you're telling us its cold! Im so over winter down under - and cant wait for the sun to make a regular appearance. Weather people announced we've just had our coldest July in 17 years.

  8. Glad to hear you're feeling better. We're in a hot spell over here and are in the midst of a drought. I hope they don't get to rationing...

  9. Sorry you have been poorly, and pleased you are better. Love those shades of linen. Something so calming about shades rather than multis.
