It's been raining for a long time and I thought that a lovely British tea time would be just perfect, don't you think ? So, I baked scones, got the jam I had in the fridge, replaced the clotted cream (which can't be found in France) by some butter... and enjoyed the moment with my wife.
The good news is that I have completly finished the pre-stitching for CA Wells's class. It's going to be really nice! All her projects are very elegant. I'll show them to you as soon as they are finished.
So, now I will resume piecing the last blocks of the Mystery Quilt. Two more to go and I can start piecing the top together. I must hurry as the fall break is almost over and I'll be very busy at work until Christmas and therefore will not have as much time for stitching and quilting...unless I sleep 4 hours a night!!!! But there's this voice in my mind repeating "Don't even think about it!" ;-)
Until later,

ReplyDeleteJ'espère que tu pourras nous faire un reportage de ta classe CA Wells à Londres. Je comprends ton enthousiasme face à cet évènement !
Je n'ai malheureusement pas obtenu de potion magique pour allonger nos journées...quel dommage !!!
Huuuuuuuum ! ça sent bon... moi aussi, je participerais volontiers à ce tea time.
ReplyDeleteJ'ai hâte que tu nous montres tous tes projets de broderie avec CA Wells et ton quilt : Encore de jolies merveilles à admirer. Vite, des photos... :-))

Well done on the pre-stitching - I'll look forward to seeing your finishes after you've been to London. The scones look very yummy!

ReplyDeleteDelicious scones, and it's always time for a nice cuppa.
ReplyDeleteDon't work too hard...
Hi David. I have just discovered your blog and it is really great. I am so happy to find that I am not the only man stitching in this world :-)
ReplyDeleteI am married as well, father of 2 kids. Am stitching mainly countryside and mountain themes but i am far to be as good as you are in stitching and creating ! All the best and keep on doing such a good job ! Olivier
and I am now one of your proud followers.. By the way, I can't see how you learned quilting (exept in courses? Did you used books ? If yes, any suggestion would help ! Thanks a lot
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you Olivier! Welcome to this wonderful world of needle and threads.
ReplyDeleteFor quilting tips, send me an email and I'll try to tell you how I learnt quilting (in English or in French, it's up to you! Just let me know)
Mais quel joli blog ! Je suis bien contente de l'avoir découvert, grâce au message que tu as laissé chez Marie-Claude (Les secrets de Marie).
ReplyDeleteJe m'en vais le ranger soigneusement pour pouvoir y revenir, le plus souvent possible. Ici, tout est absolument délicieux !
J'espère que tu ne m'en voudras pas de t'écrire en français. Je lis l'anglais mais j'ai peur de ne pas être à la hauteur pour ce qui est de m'exprimer dans cette langue !
A très bientôt. Amicalement,
Sylvie.
