The Kindness of Landlords

It was a beautiful day today. Bright blue skies and a comfortable temperature. Add in the bonus of our landlord having a bonfire in the empty lot behind our house and you have two girls spending a good portion of the day outside. I'd forgotten the appeal of things like fires and half built houses.


Girls happily running around feral outside meant I could get on with some sewing inside. The quilting is now done on Good Morning Star Shine. The basting pins are out. It is trimmed. And a big pile of LV scraps have been cut into strips for a scrappy binding.


There is a finish happening soon. Happy me.

    I love your description...."feral children". I bet they smelled good when they finally came inside.

    Aren't bonfires to be made at night? Great that you get time to finish and the kids can enjoy midterm break

    I recall bonfires from my days as a kid. Always great fun. Haven't seen or heard of one in years so it was such a thrill to live my childhood through your post!

    Good luck with the quilting. Finishing quilts doesnt seem to be happening here at the moment but I live in hope !

    Mmmmm yummy quilt goodness.
    And I bet the girls are loving the adventure of bonfires and construction yards. I have fond memories of these in my own childhood :-)
