Binding for my Christmas snowglobes is done and dusted, just need to wait for Christmas!
The check part of the strip turned out exactly as I had imagined so have to be happy with that.
The next Ginger jar flowers have been completed!
I have enjoyed building a stash of the Japanese woven fabrics and now will have ample left over after this project. I was deliberating what to use them for and an old pattern that I have contemplated many times just seemed to be popping up over social media, as if on purpose. I have been imagining it in the woven fabrics and though it will be perfect.
There are many times I have considered this pattern and now it was time. Just like that it was bought and mailed.
Want to know what the project is?
This may be my last big quilt that I make but I did say that after I finished Celebrating Mary Brown and Okehampton before that.
Wish me luck!
One garden pic to finish my post...
This is an oxalis triangularis plant (related to clover, and you will see the similarity) I absolutely love it and No 1 son gave me a plant a few years ago. It has done so well that I now have 6 plants! I will keep two and the others will find new homes. At night the petals fold down. On long stems in the breeze they look like butterflies.
Hope you have a wonderful, crafty week

My Mother always had a 'butterfly' plant on her window ledge in the kitchen. When she died my brother and I split the corms and I always keep a couple of plants in my conservatory. Each year I repot and any spare corms go in the garden. We have a bed of buddleia at the side of the house and the oxalis make a border along the bed. It gets very wet in winter and very dry in summer but they seem very happy there.

I really like that ginger jar block with the elephants in a line. They are special little details.
