Yesterday I received Opening Day<\/em> back from Chris the quilter at the Quilt Room<\/a>. She did a great job. I’m thrilled with what she did. I’ve just this minute finished sewing on the binding and its finished. And I love it! Boy, do I love it!<\/p>\n

So in all her glory here is Opening Day<\/em> (the pattern is by the inestimable Carrie Nelson<\/a> and the fabric is Moda’s Lumiere de Noel<\/em> by French General)….<\/p>\n

Tadaaaaaa…..(that was a trumpet roll incase you didn’t notice!)<\/p>\n

So there you are. I’m over the moon. Can you tell? This quilt has my very favourite stars and flying geese and the fabric is fabulous and a completely new colour direction for me. I know it’s rather an overload on the photos front, but apart from being besotted with this quilt, for the first time in months I’ve been able to take photos outdoors (I even scrubbed the balcony rail specially!). And of course, I want you to enjoy it as much as I do!!<\/p>\n

As you can see, Bumble Bee likes it too and has ventured outside for the first time in months. She’s an old lady and she doesn’t like the cold. Actually she had a pretty rough winter and has been a decidedly unhappy cat and has even been pulling out her fur. Finally last week I let the vet talk me into agreeing to pull out the last of her back teeth. Her mouth was in a terrible state – no wonder she was miserable. I hummed and hawed for ages – I mean it’s a bit drastic, isn’t it? – and I really didn’t know if she would be able to eat afterwards. Wouldn’t you know – the vet was right. It’s given the old girl a new lease of life. She’s eating with a gusto I haven’t seen in years – and is back to being a happy cat. Who would have guessed?<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to check out yesterday’s post and the GIVEAWAY<\/span> – leave me a comment to enter if you haven’t yet.<\/p>\n

Here’s hoping a little spring is heading your way (except for those down under who are probably enjoying the end of summer!)<\/p>\n
