Spring at last!

 Hi everyone,  hope you have been enjoying the warm sunshine and the gardening opportunities.

It feels as if Spring is finally finding its way here.
I had a fantastic birthday weekend or a whole week really.

I'm trying out a new Blog Editor so I hope this works OK :) 

I still have the London photos to process…. but I've been spending my time outside in the sun.

The studio border is replanted (can't claim I did this part).

But I did put down ground cover for a willow patch and more fruit trees.

The greenhouse is a hive of activity and I am like a mother hen nurturing my seeds and tomato plants.  

Now for some stitching - here are some details from the last four "Journal Quilts" made January - March this year.

I promise to be back soon, I must get back to a regular blogging habit.

Towers of Flowers Workshop!

Its been a while since this workshop was offered and I’m really pleased to say that there are still places available at Penrith in the beautiful Lake District, on June 15th & 16th. 

If you would like to join me for a weekend of creative stitching (plus laughter and generous dollop of creativity) please contact Just Sew here, or drop me  a line at helen.cowans”at”btconnect.com (replacing the “at” with @). Or leave a comment below.

The course is suitable for  beginners and the more advanced and can be tweaked to your skill level. 
If you have a sewing machine that can do straight and ZZ stitch and you can use a pair od scissors I can guide you to make your very own Towers of Flowers.

Hope to see some of you there!
