Easter car boot sale

I hope you all had a very wonderful Easter break,

hot cross buns on Easter Friday with friends,

on Saturday my friend Sarah and I went to the local creche car boot sale and found this...

and these, I think that table will paint up very nicely indeed....

some bunny ate the Sunday Easter Eggs....

and on Sunday we (everyone in the first picture) went armed with brollies (yes it was raining but only for the hour that we were out in it!!), gummies, deck chairs, and champagne brekky - yes in the pouring rain.. to celebrate possession date of our new section down by the lake, Karen selling her Dunedin house, and Mike and Sarah's 1 year anniversary of owning a Twizel holiday home; I forgot my camera and had to take photos on my phone, now I just need to figure out how to get them off - maybe another post later.....


some Monday stitching...

and these 2 blocks for the Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along (see sidebar)

and this is currently being quilted...

looking OK huh!
I hope you all enjoyed your Easter Break too!

By gosh Shiree!! You were very busy over the Easter break. Nothing nicer than friends, family, food and sewing. Kind regards, Anita.

Hi Shiree, I can see that stand loaded with jelly rolls and the like, and the table full of other goodies. Great find, well done.
The quilting is coming along nicely, stitching too.
Hot 'n sunny here - yeah

The quilting looks great, looks like you have tamed that machine. I thought I had missed your second block of the Jelly Roll sampler. It is coming together beautifully when you look at all three together.
