Summer is on the way, and we’ve had a lovely warm weekend… even the garden sprinkler made an appearance on Saturday afternoon. The kids had a wonderful time, jumping through the water spray, keeping cool.

Today is going to be a fun day. I’m going to a lunch with a few local bloggers. I’ve followed most of their blogs for a long time, but never actually met them in real life. I’m super excited but a little bit nervous too.

Do you remember my “Stack and Slash” table runner tutorial? If you don’t, click HERE to refresh your memory. Anyways, one of my blog friends mentioned that she really liked it, so I made one for her last night and will give it to her at lunch today.  Hope she likes it.

Here is the front:



And here is the back:



It’s ended up being a 2 sided table runner, so she can have it facing up, on whichever colour strikes her fancy, depending on the day of the week. Did that make sense?

I also played with some English paper piecing this weekend, but this time, it’s diamonds rather than hexagons … even though the diamonds have turned into big hexagons.

I fussy cut the fabrics and am in love with the effect.



I bought this bright fabric at Spotlight last week at only $6 per metre. Fantastic bargain if you ask me.
This pink flower one is super cute. My daughter tells me she doesn’t love the green because green isn’t pretty. Hmmm…



I like them and have found my new evening hobby… well until the next thing strikes my fancy, that is.
