Followed by a new post to FB . . . of a *very* old quilt! I don't even remember making the quilt but I recognised it straight away as I made myself a similar one (which later became the family camp quilt / poncho). I has to ask Elaine when her son was born so we could date it - 1992!!!!
The Stitch ladies were busy a few weeks ago
And husband has been busy in the bathroom!
A leaky shower
drove him to remove the old bath / shower cabinet
replace it temporarily with a spare shower cubicle from the shed (everyone keeps stuff like that in shed don't they?)
and then start planning the new room (no we don't have a second bathroom!). So now the spare shower has gone, and the new floor has gone down, and hopefully the new shower will be in place before I smell too much!
Hand sewing has seen this all pieced, and put away until I love it again
The advantage of the bath unit being banished is that we got a skip - and cleared all sorts of other junk out too. The patio may not be perfect but anyone who has seen it will agree this is much better that usual!
And the garden is looking positively gorgeous!
I love that you had a spare shower in your shed! And it's lovely to see your quilts getting use years after being gifted :)
ReplyDeleteIt’s great when your gifts are used. I like the new floor. Well done on the hand sewing. It looks fab
ReplyDeleteHow nice to know that your quilt has been loved and appreciated for all of these years Benta! I am impressed that you had a spare shower in the shed too :)
ReplyDeleteHow fab to see those old quilts! I wonder what my ‘80’s and ‘90’s ones are doing now.
