Today is the day!

We've returned from our holiday on Sunday and what a great time we had!
I still have to sort out all the pictures we took from my iPhone, my camera, the Mister's camera and his phone ... So more pictures later this week.

waiting for our dinner at River Cottage, Axminster



And this one is for him, because it's our 12th wedding anniversary!
(and my 50th birthday)

I've been cheating ...

Last week I was busy making an extremely quick quilt for my in-laws.
They spent the weekend here and they love sleeping under a quilt. They're used to sleeping in a forrest. Well ... it's not really a forrest but a part of Eindhoven where the houses were built in the forrest; so a forrest with plenty houses.
So I thought after 'Orange, Rosa, Blue' I could make a really quick quilt by cheating.
I bought this:

Annie's Patchwork in Yellow, from Annie's Farm Stand by Hollie Holderman for Lakehouse Dry Goods, 100% Cotton Fabric, bought here

A backing from Ikea + batting from my local shop.
I usually buy the Hobbs iron-on batting, because it's so easy to work with.
I was working along nicely, had time on my side. But then I had another migraine: in bed, on the couch, sleeping and not sleeping. Taking pills that take ages to work ....
And I wanted to Quilt this Thing!
I finished it Saturday: quilting, binding, washing & drying it.



The tent in the garden was for my youngest daughter who turned 19 yesterday: Hurray!!
She wanted some privacy with her boyfriend, perhaps?
Anyway, the weather was good and the guestroom was taken by my in-laws: so GREAT!

This is my first day without medication and tomorrow (hopefully)  my head wil be clear again.

Have a great week!
