Busy Hands at Home

After all our adventures last week, this one has been much quieter - thank goodness.  We've had pretty nice weather and so have enjoyed being outside in our little walled garden. During some indoor time, we have done a few things.  E's favorite:


Thursday is Market Day, so Caroline who had the day off work and came down to Delft for a little visit.  We played with my hour-glass blocks and decided that we liked this layout,
I am quite pleased with this and will make a few more.  While at the market I found a little bit of fabric that might work for a border
The red and white is very much in keeping with the "flavor" of the Spakenburg fabrics.  Hmmmm.

I am pleased that I have finished the little stitchery blocks for the to-be-grandchild quilt.  I haven't found the sashing fabric, but that will wait until we get home.  Something very bright and colorful.
A couple more hand sewing projects are going on, but I'll show you those when I've made a bit more progress.  More adventures tomorrow.
