Japanese Lanterns Revisited

Remember my Japanese Lanterns EPP project? Trying to make some progress on it, and brought the blocks that hasn't been attached to the piece I have already sewn toghether

Still have a long ways to go on this, but every block that is joined to another block is one step closer to a finished quilt.

A Walk in Severnake Park

I got to enjoy some very nice spring weather while in England, and tried to spend some time outside. Savernake Park is just down the road from where my friends live.

The deer is the symbol of Bracknell Forest Council - a nice wooden statue in the park

Savernake Park takes its name from Savernake Forest in Wiltshire, renowned for its stately, mile-long avenue of beech trees. Acording to the website it is likely that the site used to be part of the Great Windsor Forest, a vast expanse of royal hunting forest going back to the times of the Doomsday Book. In the 1990s Savernake Park was adopted by Bracknell Forest Council who now manage the site for recreation and wildlife.

The geese were making a LOT of noise :-)

Visit to The Quilt Room i Dorking

I have been away visiting friends in England, and while away Chloe and I went to Dorking and visited The Quilt Room.

It's a lovely little quilt shop- lots of things to give inspiration to both a beginner quilter and one who has been quilting for some time.
