This week I have been entertaining my 2 lovely girls, Freya and Nella. There has been a lot of washing up but plenty of helpers to deal with it. I made some genuine Scottish tablet which turned out perfectly but you can feel your teeth rotting!
I had another go at working out the best way of constructing a puff quilt and have decided that French seams are the answer.
At work I reconstructed a table runner for B990 using Q-Matic. I also tried using its own built in jumbo stitches to embellish the project which I found a bit tricky because I have not done the training course and the manual does not give step by step instructions. I think it will work out well and I have enjoyed getting to know how to do machine embroidery.
The girls and I walked from Calstock village to Cotele and had lunch in the National Trust cafe. Nessie sat on Nella’s lap to stop her from barking as a protest about having to sit on the floor like a normal dog.
They gave me a great early birthday present - Bokashi compost bins which ferment food scraps of any sort. It looks like I am all set to become a keen gardener. But first I have to sort out the mould in the shed.
