Had a lovely morning with Beverley and a cup of tea (or two) brainstorming over the quilting of the border of her latest quilt.  It's beautiful and she loves it - it's gonna get hammered at University in September  though.  Decided on the quilting and she left with a smile.

Went to the garden centre again.  Dave being at home now is having an input into the look of the garden - he's mowed more this year so far than in the last three years put together.  He wants more colour variety in the back garden so off we toddled.

We picked up some yellow and orange flowers (don't ask what they're called, i'd need to get the labels.

Had lunch in Clent Nurseries and then headed over to the Clent Hills for a mug of Bovril.  The sun was so hot I've got a little burnt.

It was packed up there and the only place to sit was in the full sun.  The metal table was so hot I couldn't touch it.  Shouldn't complain it's back to heavy rain tonight - the usual British summer weather.

Got back and put the plants in - did a bit more weeding too and the garden is starting to look cared for now.  I'd rather be sorting out my sewing stuff but I can't do anything much until the studio conversion is done.  I've chased up the builder but I'm waiting for him to ring me back.  Everything is packed up so all I can do is look at the stuff in the boxes and wait.  I have a couple of quilts I can get on with but....

Been looking for little things to dress up the studio when it's done and I'm trying to think of a witty name for over the door but I've not come up with anything yet.
