Today I will start Quilting This.

 It's a rough and windy day in BOP. this morning  

Yesterday was lovely. Friends took us out to lunch which was pleasant. Here is a view of the rail bridge from where we were.

 So they picked the right day to be out and about.

 As it is all ready now, today I need to start simply quilting this.


 3 layers pinned together. The backing is a fabric that also appears in the front. As it is an extremely busy top I need to do something very simple like stitch in the ditch following the straight lines of the quilt. ( it is single bed size. I made it slightly wider than long so won't go over a pillow )
 ( I did consider hand quilting it? But decide maybe not. ) 
 
 Here it is pegged on the clothesline before I put the layers together.... but it was too windy that afternoon.

I better get started!

 I have been picking repeat small vases of sweet peas which have a wonderful typical perfume.
