Large Flower Border at Quilters Cottage

Today Stewart and I finished the large flower border in the front garden area.

The border on this hedge side is 60 feet long so you can see it has taken some time.

We started refurbishing at the end of last year because it had got full of real persistant weeds.

We took nearly everything out and started again,

other than the large bushes and trees and heavily mulched.

I am now replanting and heavily mulching again to try and save some work!

Liz's Old Quilt

We have 'Show and Tell at Alveva's every month.

We had lots of lovely quilts in the making,

our workshop tidies and this old quilt brought by Liz, on Ebay.

It is really beautiful and in very good condition.

The pattern is a variation on'Old Maids Puzzle'.

It is all hand quilted.

Well done Liz and well done to all our members for making it such a lovely group.
