Gemma let her feelings known, Christmas is over and it’s time to pack it all away, she thinks.  Why else would she be taking a swipe at Santa and knock him over?  She does look a little guilty, doesn’t she?

Poor Santa

So the last day or two I’ve been packing the Christmas  things away, and putting the normal things back in place.  The brass needed a bit of attention, so I sat outside on the patio, rubber gloves on, cleaner and cloths to the ready, and started a little polishing.  These jugs usually reside on the ...

Well it’s finally 2021 and time as they say starts a new each year. I haven’t made new year resolutions for many many years as...

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, from our home to yours.

The Christmas Mice

Our Christmas Day started with the traditional family breakfast of hot croissants filled with ham and cheese, and a pot of “real” coffee.  Then we joined friends Dot and Derek and son Brent for Christmas Lunch out at a local restaurant, The George.    With three lunch sittings, the place was heaving with people, most of them oldies out with grown children, it seemed, and some of the patrons looked so much older than us, we commented.  Unfortunately, our table was situated right by the door ...

That’s what Gemma thinks, after welcoming Robin’s sister Kaye who came to stay overnight.  Gemma was enchanted with our guest and wouldn’t leave her alone.  I told Kaye that she should feel honoured, as Gemma has been known to be rather stand offish to visitors before, and not want to have anything to do with them.  When Kaye departed, Gemma took a well earned snooze on the dining chair, head tucked under the table cloth, and her back legs hanging down!

Job done, time for a rest

The Colourpoint Cats quilt only had a brief two day stint hanging up above the couch.  It’s almost Christmas after all, so down it had to come to be replaced by a seasonal quilt.  This one is Christmas Smorgasbord, made with blocks received in two different internet block swaps, stars and nine patches.  Never mind, the cats will get another turn to shine before too long.

Christmas Smorgasbord

I always seem to have more Christmas quilts than hanging room, these two small ones are favourites so  were chosen again.  The Selvedge Christmas Tree was fun to stitch, and the ...

Summer in France

Hi everyone! Back to Greece... and to my blog after a long summer in France. I am still busy there restoring my 19th century summer house bought five years ago. I love doing this job and especially  decorating, with the drawback that it keeps me temporarily away from quilting. 

I have sent most of my quilts, the antique ones and those done by me, from Greece to France, with the aim of a future exhibition, but not only : my house is going to be filled with quilts on beds, on couches, hanged on walls...

The above picture ...

So it’s been another month and today it’s time again for Quilt Block Mania for November. This month’s theme is Winter Celebrations. I didn’t want...
