The sloes are early this year

[flick]

The swans are sewn, now I just need to wait for the backing fabric and get quilting:



(I'll also have to rearrange the living room to get enough floor space to pin the layers together, it doesn't fit in the study!)

GB has crossed some sort of watershed: he's not quite finished shedding last year's winter coat (the long, paler hairs that you can see against the black) but he's already starting to fuzz up with this year's growth (which you can see against the white):


Still, not bad for an old man. Even if he does spend half of his time with his willy hanging out a bit these days....


I had a lovely long session on Benny this morning, the weather was just right: sunny, bit of a breeze, and enough of a chill in the air that we didn't overheat. Much more satisfactory weather than lately.

OOOoooh! The polar bear is great too - and the Panda.

If only I had the patience for patchworking

Next time you're here, remind me to show you the bird quilt - that's one of hers, too (or rather, half a dozen of hers).

Gorgeous swans! (And also wow! to all that person's patterns on their Etsy store.)
