Happy pick up

 Last friday I received a message that I was looking forward to getting! My Snow globes quilt had been quilted and was ready to be picked up.  I swung by after work and I am so happy with it.

The quilt design has very cute little bells/baubles in the design.

Binding needs to go on but thanks to a full on social weekend it has to wait to be done.

The fabric to the right of the quilt is the backing fabric. There is heaps left so I am going to bind the quilt in this fabric. The weave is really tight so I think it will suit ok.

I managed to finish another ginger jar block since my last post and I thought I would put the blocks up on my Caswell design board to see how they are blending together.

I am quite happy with the picture and love to see how it's progressing. I haven't had much time to prep a new bunch of flowers but hoping that I will get to this week.

I found a surprise orchid flower in the garden. This plant has been growing nicely for the past year or so after it was separated from its' parent plant. I didn't expect flowers for a while so was pleasantly surprised, especially with the colour. The original plant had brown flowers but this one seems to have toned it down to pinky purple. There is a second spike that has just appeared. Bonus!

Happy days!
