This is my first attempt at uploading a photo. This is a quilt I adapted from one of my favourite quilt magazines, American Quilting (BH&G). It's an abstract thistle in art nouveau fabrics - lots of gold in the background.

It's raining again (& again & again). The clouds are so low today, you can't see the high rise buildings down by the beach & everywhere looks misty and grey. My Best-Beloved looks like a well-drowned rat after unblocking the drain outside the back door and nothing can be done in the garden. So, only one thing to do -quilt! So far, I've managed to finish a flip-flap cushion for no.1 son and a picnic backpack quilt for family picnics; 2 lots of ATCs for different challenges on the French quilt forum (the joys of summer; tea/coffee/tisane). Tonight, it's going to be knitting- after all the ironing & laundry this weekend, I reckon I've deserved it. When I've worked out the photo thing, I'll show you.
