After two and a half days of continuous rain, which at times was quite heavy, we finally have some sunshine today. Everything is still soaking wet though and I wasn't going to step on to either of our lawns to try getting pretty outdoorsy shots of my latest finish, so instead I tried a shot over the deck railing but that wasn't quite right.
So I persuaded my holder upper to step outside and perform. First he took a bow. LOL
Actually I think he has spied a bug!
Then we got on with some photos. Still not the best but you get the idea.
I just had time to get a quick shot of the quilting....
He wasn't sticking around for more.
Sigh, it's getting harder to find a good holder upper.
And finally a look at the binding and my label on the back.
Sorry these are not the best photos.
As the holder upper scuttled back indoors I lingered to get some garden shots.
Old man tree is starting to get his leaves and the snowball bush is in full bloom already.
I think judging by the scent, that this version of snowball bush is actually a lilac, it smells beautiful.
And finally, taken on a rainy day while I was quilting the wedding cake tree is also getting it's greenery.
I've done some knitting in the evenings, prepared the pattern for the wedding dress, did I mention that the bride has dropped two dress sizes? She seems to have levelled off now so on my next run of days off I'll start cutting.
That is if I get my days off, I went in to work on two of my three days off this week, not in my usual role but as the diversional therapist! I read the news paper and we had discussion group in the mornings and in the afternoon we played housie/bingo and some board games.
That was something different.

Lovely finish Lou, your client will be delighted! Good holder uppers are few and far between sadly. xx
Well done, Lou - a great finish!
Lou, I too have a holder-upper, 6’6” - he voluntarily came with my to a week-long quilt event in early September …he held up around 60 quilts for me during my study center on newspaper series quilts ...the ladies cheered him for his efforts. Louise
Your quilt looks great even with the dodgy holder upper. I loved working as a diversional unfortunately the hours were short though.
Work keeps you busy doesn't it!! Love your quilt and quilting, holder uppers are hard to find and get cooperation from here too!! Lovely to see the spring growth happening.
Well done on the finish with your quilt. A lovely result.
Isn't it great to see Spring working its magic in the garden?
a pretty quilt and done makes it more so...kudos to the holder upper...lol
I think the Holder Upperer Union needs to get onto these blokes & improve their game.
Good finish on the quilt!...well be god when all the trees get into their spring/summer clothes.
Congratulations on the quilt finish. Great to see the trees with their new leaves and flowering.
