Knitting

At the moment quilting is at a standstill. However I have a commission to make a quilt and will very soon start on that one. Coming Thursday I will visit Jati and show her the design and see if she likes it. Can then buy material and start cutting so I can sew it together when I go on the quilting retreat, the end of this month. Am going with Linda.

Had this morning the brickie, who had done the brickwork on the carport poles.
He could not understand how I got the cracks in the bricks. He had not seen this before.



This is the biggest crack.



This pole has 3 sides cracked.

Have been knitting the last couple of days and finished some of the patterns of the Knitalong "Sampler M".



Pattern 16 Cubics



Pattern 17 Wybert



Pattern 18 Twisted Oak.

Have been working hard at the timber for the pergola. It is all painted at least once. Had the acrylic very diluted, so the paint could soak in the timber. Has to do it now for the second time.







Have started to paint the facia, so that it is ready for the pergola. Will have it very soon erected.




On Mother's Day, I went at about 12.45 to Garden City where DD and I where to meet. We bought first tickets for a movie, we saw "Miss Pettygrew". Before the picture started we had something to eat. It was an early dinner for me and a late brunch for DD. At about 5 pm I was home again, we enjoyed it very much.

The shower screen got installed today and it looks very good. Cannot use it today, it needs 24 hours before the glue is hardened.



Had the frame around the mirror also changed from bronze into silver.

Have been to the Stitches and Craft Show today with Linda. We met at the Show and had first a coffee.
The very first thing we saw were the quilts. On this show there are not many quilts. We were not allowed to make pictures.

Bought a couple of things.





The ATC Linda gave me today. I love it very much. It is beautiful. There is now a chance that I might make them too. However have still a lot other things to do.
Have seen the book cover which Linda shows on her blog. It looks even better in reality then on the picture.
Next time I see Linda, we will be going to a quilting retreat in Highfields at the end of this month. It will be there very cold and have already bought a new pj and dressing gown for it.
