Springtime
We are back from our trip to the US and have been struck by the change in the landscape here in the UK since our return. When we left it was winter and now it is Spring. The softness of the english landscape, the vibrant green foliage that is bursting into life everywhere is just so refreshing to the eye after a very hot Texas where things grow if you water them, and otherwise it is arid and dusty. We had a fabulous time, but oh how glad I am to see the hedgerows, the daffodils, the blossom.

……When our son got posted to Houston with his work, I couldn’t believe it and so the last few weeks I have been able to spend some days with my old friend and explore her sewing room. It is always so wonderful when you are reunited after a few years with an old friend and it feels like you just instantly pick up where you left off. We decided to make a project and as quilted jackets are currently on trend, we ordered the Tamarack Jacket pattern and set to work.
