Len and a New project

Laurie's fishing mate Len passed away last Thursday morning. This morning was the funeral. Len was a very modest man and he would have been so proud to have seen the church full. The service reflected his life - lots of music, friends and reminiscing.

Len's death was our sixth in less than six months. I do hope our luck is about to change.

This afternoon I have started cutting fabrics for a new quilt. This is going to be a labour of love and will take many years. I first saw a picture on a blog during quilt market but had no idea whose pattern it was. I saw it here last week and promptly ordered the book. You can only see a small portion of the quilt - there are 291 baskets in all.



Having failed with Dear Jane, Nearly Insane and a four inch sampler I wonder how I will go. I'm going to use my reproduction pinks and browns and just enjoy the process.
