Blowing in the Breeze.

 

 I nearly forgot to show the finished photos of my "Lockdown, " ( community/ charity ) quilt.

 The back with a small label. ( almost gives a stained glass effect in the bright sunlight. It has a good quality cotton batting for easy laundering.



The first pickable freesias smell so lovely in a vase along with the last of the roses. I pruned the roses  so kept any buds for the vase. I only have 6 rose bushes now - one very new one which took 10 snips with the secateurs to prune it.
I also knitted a tiny hat for a young friend expecting a babe very soon. I have a 2nd one on my needles.
 The sun is still shining in alert level 2.
 I have broad beans set! Finally !

( Blogger is doing strange things with my photos. )

  3. Your finished quilt is beautiful, both sides. The knitted hat is cute and the flowers lovely. Freesias are the best for perfume aren't they.
