Still too hot


 But I did take a pic of the patchwork, as far as it has got. I am pleased that the vague attempt at design  that I have been doing appears to be working. I have been making seven patch flowers, and surrounding them with random patches. The reason for this is that I saw some lovely patterns develop in the quilt I did some years ago - that was all seven patch flowers, but joining them together made the thing asymmetrical, and that bothers me!




Aren't Lewisias great value. They smother themselves with flowers, which die down so we cut them off, and then they do it all over again. And they carry on doing this all through the summer.



And a couple more pictures of Maggie Magnificent, just to prove that she is not just glamour and elegance - she is a clown as well!

You must have a lot of patience to hand-piece a quilt.

I've not heard of Lewisia before, they look rather jolly.

Maggie and Seth are looking good!

When our beagle does that wonderful horizontal wriggle, we call it his beagle bliss! What a gorgeous animal you have.

rolling in the grass like that is almost as good as a good back scratch!
