Sunday at the Landings
The long tablerunner:
Today the time had come to quilt it. I haven't been doing much sewing lately, having been much taken up with working with clay.
However, I tidied up my sewing room and sat down and started to quilt. It just has straight lines running it's length. As you can see, I am halfway through binding it as well, having chosen a nice bright green that co-0rdinates nicely with the back.
I also spent some time today transferring photos around from my ipad to laptop, and having a little fun with them. This one is a part of the previous photo, tweaked by the "pencil drawing" effect on the Picasa photo software,
The mandevilla vine has started blooming, which is nice, having spent the last several months twining itself around the banister of the back deck,
I took these photos a couple of days ago, when it was really nice out. Today it is nice too, but very windy as we are waiting to see what the tropical storm Beryl plans to do.
I am starting to get excited about returning to Saskatoon and my yard!
