What a fun day I had yesterday! Doing what I enjoy - made a lovely start on Citrus Sweet Love, first block of BOM by
Treehouse Textiles and one of Australia's favourites, Cathy of
Cabbage Quilts!
Gorgeous to play with these prints, accuracy needed on seam allowance - I set my Janome 6600 on 4.7 to achieve the desired scant .25" seam allowance and I also pressed all my seams open. This is a bit more time consuming, but achieves a lovely finish when dealing with 1.5" cuts.
Back to my other world - here's our gorgeous Nate, probably 5 days old after he had come out of the humicrib and in a special nursery - I took this pic through a viewing glass as I still wasn't allowed in to see him. It was only the second time I had seen him - they did allow me a glimpse when I first arrived.
At home with the little quilt I madce for him covering him - it's not showing up too well. Do I think he's the bees knees? - of course I do, lol!
I may have mentioned Aaron is a fabulous cook - this dish is Larb Kai - ground chicken, warm salad with lots of beautiful fresh herbs, served with eggplant, cucumber, snake beans and sticky rice. I'm not a great rice fan so I ate mine San Choy Bow style in lettuce leaves, the gorgeous juices running everywhere. Oh, I must have some lunch, my mouth is watering.
Have a happy Sunday!

ReplyDeleteOoh your block looks fantastic Lurline, awesome work! How gorgeous is your little Nate, such a treasure, that meal looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteHi - love your blog posts. Just wondering with your beautiful BOM from Treehouse Textiles, is the top left hand corner block supposed to have the white small blocks the other way? Are they supposed to be like a Irish chain pattern? If so, they need to be rotated. I hope this makes sense!
