Isn’t this \u00a0a delightful quilt? It was made by my Canadian sister-in-law and it fits so well in her house in the woods on Vancouver Island. To me it has ‘autumn’ written all over it! It’s a Scrappy Star<\/em> quilt from Fat Quarter Friendly<\/em> by Fons and Porter and it’s made in homespun fabrics in gorgeous fall colours. To say I covet this would be an understatement!<\/p>\n

Today has been the most glorious autumn day here in Canton Z\u00fcrich. A day where, although it sounds a little melodramatic, my heart has sung with joy. I’m still putting my garden to bed for the winter – and was able to work outside this afternoon just in a T-shirt, savouring every moment. \u00a0I guess the knowledge of what will soon arrive (snow, cold, greyness) made me appreciate every single second of being outside today. The air was clear and bright and I really felt at peace with the world. No deadlines, no stress, steadily working and seeing what I had achieved.<\/p>\n

I’ve baked bread, made soup with leeks from the garden and just generally pottered. I also pulled out the whole of the neck and armhole borders of the Juliet Shell<\/em> I’ve been knitting off and on for ages – I hated them and am much happier with the simple crochet border I’ve done instead. Maybe by tomorrow I will have a photo to show you. One more UFO that’s heading for completion.<\/p>\n

Next week will be busy – I’m expecting a lot of work coming in – so I’m just enjoying the calm before the storm. It’s a good day and I’m happy.<\/p>\n
