A quiet week.

This week was a quiet one, with weather that was just: we are not ready for snow and cold weather yet! The warm weather has returned for a couple of days, thank goodness. Kate Selene has been inspired to knit baubles, I have tried her method, here is my pumpkin?

The mitten I knitted, got hubby to try it on. It was too pointy at the top and the thumb was too short, so it is now unravelled and a second attempt will be made in a short while.

Jeopardy quilting continue, the first two rounds is now complete. Third round was started this past week. With the cold weather, it was a great way to keep warm and quilt at the same time. Our cat's expression when she realised the fireplace was turned on was a sight to see. Needless to say she was very happy with it. Over the summer she made friends with the black squirrel and stopped chasing it, until yesterday. The squirrel was not expecting the cat to chase it, so it must have come as a bit of a shock! Junko's are little birds which we only see in the winter up north, not here. We have a flock which arrived and they are eating like there is no tomorrow. They have been cleaning up every bit of seed and even scratch the soil like chickens do to find any rogue seeds. They are on their way up north, so winter is definitely on its way.

The next three diamonds have been made, for Tahoe.

This is what it looks like as a larger diamond.

Where the next group of diamonds fit into the bigger picture.

This diamond quilt was inspired by Jane Austin quilt, the center is all EPP and this quilt is now over twenty one years old. It has been well loved and will be retired soon. It needs some pieces replaced as well, it has been so well loved over many years.

The hexie project now has the green round sewn on. Will work again on this one next year, it is a longterm project. Our trees have just a few leaves left on them, the veggie patch has some more tomato plants which will be pulled up today as the weather is sunny and we are expecting 20C!
