We don't have a big property with lots of trees and shrubs or other interesting places to drape a quilt, so I keep on returning to the same trees. Old man tree sits at the front of the property and is a beautiful tree, all year round. He does drop his leaves and has bare branches throughout the winter months. His branches and twigs look old and gnarly, they curl and bend in odd directions.
I thought I should try to get an image of the tree itself.
I couldn't get a great image of the quilt in the tree this time, so opted to try the fence just by the tree.
That works, all those lovely pinks and purples pop amid the green tones in the garden.
I do want to show one image of the quilt in the tree. Here you see the back of the quilt.
And Noah. I hadn't realised that next doors cat was peeping around the fence.
He visits every day and is a very handsome fellow.

In other news, I have found a unicorn pattern to stitch for Charmaine as a part of her Christmas bundle.
Progress has been made on the cat cross stitch and also on the ready set sew blocks.
With just over a half of them now completed.
I've been doing extra shifts at work again as my colleague is back in hospital with complications following her dance with Covid. I do hope she gets well and is able to return to work soon, her little family has been through a lot this year, they do not need more complications.

That's my news, I'm off to sew for a while before Torstein and Charmaine get here for their tea.

lovely tree - it looks so green there.
The pink & purple certainly pop!
All the best to your colleague. Covid is a weird thing - some get it so mildly - others don't.
Beautiful tree and Quilt!
