First though, I will just let you know how proud I am of my eldest Grandson Ryan. He became the 2nd youngest Mayor in the country, this term, at 21 years of age. He is Mayor of Westhoughton, which is in Lancashire, and he is thrilled that it is in such a momentous year which includes The Queens Diamond Jubilee, the Olympic games, even Preston Guild, (that is held every 20 years)lol... then there is the 100th Anniversary of The Blackpool Illuminations...... lots of other special occasions as well. His girlfriend Amy is the Mayoress. He has taken a year out from Cumbria University, where he is studying to become a Primary school teacher.
I have been busy on a few projects recently and here is one of them below.
This is my latest quilt and I am very pleased with the with both the pattern and the jewel colours. As usual, the camera does not show our work off to it's best, but I hope you can visulize it in real life, with the deep reds and turquiose.
I am not sure what will be next on the sewing front, I have an Anniversary card half made and I do need to make a start on Christmas, before it turns round and bites me hahahahaha.......
I hope you are all well and busy, thank you for your visit. I need to go and get a photo taken this morning, as I need to renew my passport!! what a nightmare lol

Hi Tilly,
Beautiful quilt, glad you have sunshine,
Here in Greece it's very hot cloudless sky, with that strange thing called a sun.
Hope it stays fine and you see the sun over the next couple of weeks.
Take care
