I can't believe that it is a month since I posted my first Auntlet's report! But before I tell you all abut the progress (or perhaps lack of it!) on my Aunts' Quilt, I'll tell you about the weekend. As planned, I put up the tree on Saturday afternoon
as always the Gnome brothers and the Gnome sisters squabbled over which cushions and which stocking they had on their chairs!
the dining table doesn't take long to do - the table runner is already on the table - it just needs to be turned over to show the Christmas side!
I always have fun doing the dining room window decorations
just part of our owl collection, overseeing some of the decorations in the kitchen
don't worry about the knitted garland hanging down over the front of the fire - it's an electric fire, so there are no naked flames!
we don't usually give each other cheesy romantic cards ........ but we have this year!
yesterday, we went to Pirn House for breakfast. We hadn't been there for some time, so were surprised to find that the whole layout had been changed, with a smart new coffee shop
we both had the French toast, with bacon and maple syrup ....... delicious!!
and now for the Auntlet's report. I had a lot of catching up to do, having made a late start because of being on holiday. I made a start to prepping the first applique block
then I turned my attention to the pieced blocks. I chose my fabrics .......
and decided to cut all the blocks in one go
so, by now I should have done four pieced blocks and two applique blocks .......
block 1
block 2
block 3
and half an appiqlue block!
so I still have a bit of catching up to do - but I love how it looks so far!
I'll be back tomorrow with the baby quilt!
