Finally, A Vintage Patchwork Quilt

 My vintage inspired, patchwork quilt looks gorgeous sitting in my favourite cane chair, the perfect companion for a sit in the sun, a read, and a delicious cup of tea.  

Hello Monday, one day closer to feeling better, fingers crossed it is soon.  It felt like the longest weekend, house bound, with little enthusiasm for anything.  I  can honestly say I don't know myself, this person who hasn't a spark, just a quarter of a smile when I can be bothered to lift the side of my mouth, and that hurts!  This wasn't our weekend, we didn't go to the shack, no mention of sailing, no outfits, no farmers markets with intentions of slow cooked anything........just me trying to get back to normal!

Early Sunday morning I crept out of bed and went into my sewing room, I pulled out the vintage quilt, that has been eluding me for some time.  Perhaps it was the enormity of the hand sewing that kept her folded in the bottom drawer, perhaps I had given her up for a task more exciting?  This morning I will stitch the border and by the time the sun comes out I will be sitting in the sun enjoying her warmth and lovely colours............

Sometimes you just need determination!

This weekend I enjoyed looking through the cheerful pages of the  Playful Home, so many inspiring ideas for children's rooms.
