Tea for One!!!













The house is decorated for Easter and I find myself with a morning on my own!  A great chance to get down to some sewing!







The family call this "Christmas at Easter!"  Eggs are very fiddly to paint!






Not much sewing so far -
Not before the requisite tea & cake!
There was only one hot cross bun left -
I couldn't even wait to take a picture!!




                                      The Guildford Quilters Exhibition is coming up at  Clandon - these little hearts are rather cute.  The buttons add a decorative touch.





Also for the exhibition - my own version of Schnibbles Tuffets, some stuffed with wadding & some with crushed walnut shells.  These feel lovely and squidgy!


 Caroline arrived with chicken soup & I made some fresh bread for lunch, followed by plum & apple crumble.  Cream & icecream to accompany, of course!  Well, we didn't have much in the way of cakes!!



Caroline was busy cutting some more strips for her "Stars in the Cabin", from a class by Janet at Needle & Thread.

We played with the layout to get an idea of the patterns.  So many different effects just by turning the blocks around.

A very productive & enjoyable day.  Am sure it was for the others too but you were missed.  Can only do so much talking to oneself!!!
