playing.....

Recently I had an afternoon in the Chookshed.......
Did I sew anything no......
But I chatted, drank bubbles and ate nibbles after we helped finalise a friends quilt top layout......
Worked out the backing for a quilt....
had a visitor
who thought she needed to sew with us - cheeky Bridget.... 
and just enjoyed the pretty flowers to regroup to tackle another week of work.... 
But time with friends can rejuvenate you - thanks Jannimary and Miss Jules..... 
stay safe..... 
catch you later....

Glad you had some time in the chookshed, lovely chevron quilt, and those dandelions take me back a few years, when we used to make chain necklaces with the kids.

That is a really pretty, graphically bold quilt.

Sounds like a rejuvenating time at the shed!

Great to see you had a fun time in the Chookshed with your friends...
Nice quilt. Bridget must have given it a tick on approval too!
Dandelions do give a nice display of colour .

It was such a fun afternoon. Jules’ quilt looks great. I love the photo of her working on the layout. Bridget is just too cheeky.

Oh my gosh!! I have been wanting to find some old vintage shabby chic material lately. Haven't stumbled upon it yet. I am not by any means a quilter but I love the idea of some material crafties. Also OMG I want a sheep so badddddd (see what I did there XD lol) but seriously I can't wait to get a sheep one day- they are SO SWEET!!
Cheers!

Too fun that you all could get together! It would seem that Jannimary visits often. I thought you two were a few hours apart.

THat backing for the red quit is GORGEOUS! It is like a little sneak peak without the whole reveal for me here!

Ondrea said...

Time with others is such a cherished thing especially during these times. Cheeky sheep! I think she wanted to see what all the partying was about. That quilt is beautiful.
