Quilt. Done.
I am definitely not a quilter hats off to those who have the patience, attention to detail and focus who are! Quilting is SO different to sewing clothes - and this was a fairly straightforward patchwork!
T decided she’d like to make a quilt and so spotting the opportunity to use up some old fabric remnants from the stash I agreed to help her. Oh. My. We started at half term - 7 weeks ago - we have just finished. It looks great, T has been accurate and neat (although the seams don’t match up as we had to unpick the back from the front when we realised the wadding was on the outside not sandwiched in the middle. But. It is now done. So am I.

Cat on a wobbly thin fence - not quite same ring to it but still as entertaining! Coconut had his eye on a little mouse when I distracted him and happily little mouse didn’t end up for tea! .

Have been really nervous about undertaking this project but today it began... making a mosaic mural with the year 6 class at Chewton Mendip Primary School!
Year 6 kids always leave a gift for the school as a thank you for their time there. So this year the Year 6 are revamping the Quiet Garden which is quiet for all the wrong reasons. Parents have contributed to the costs and we have sold ice lollies after school on a Friday for extra cash. So far the amazing Warthog Engineering designed and created a stainless steel bench which has been positioned around a tree. Next we have invested in new plants which are low maintenance, provide year round colour and attracted local pollinators, birds and butterflies.
Finally we are decorating a low wall with a mosaic mural. The brilliant Hellards have donated a load of tiles, adhesive and grout and today we started laying out our design featuring dragonflies. .

Am so excited to see our Fox Class 2019 Leavers bench in place at Chewton Mendip Primary School. 💙💚 stainless steel to last forever (or definitely a hell of a lot longer than a wooden bench!) locally designed by Warthog machinery about a mile from the school. So beautiful and perfect for our Quiet Garden re-vamp! Thank you to the Fix Class parents for contributing hard earned cash to fund it (and to Warthog for giving us ‘mates rates’!) Love. It. .

How ironic, the ducky ducks have left us on their own accord on the day we were going to pop them back into the Wild! Went up to collect them ready for transportation from their makeshift pen to the local watercourse and they were gone! They didn’t even say goodbye. 😢. #sadtimes .
