Pitter Patter

As a warm up into quilting last year I did a scrappy trip around the world - always a favourite when I'm not sure what to make but the strip bags are bulging. It's not very exciting so sat at the bottom of the quilting queue for a while ... but I did it and finished it and now it's done.


It's called Pitter Patter because of my four season Letterkenny binge. Soooooo funny and I'm sure a 100% completely accurate rendition of Canadian life. I quilted with a swirl going vertical for four squares and horizontal for four squares. It's about as boring as it sounds.



My husband is holding it up a couple of weeks ago when we still had a family room floor! We are spending the evenings this week repainting the skirting and wall behind the fridge, so when the new floor goes in (hopefully tomorrow) we can put the fridge back where it belongs. Although I notice the power point isn't installed yet so we will still have to wait on the electrician. The plasterer put in a new cornice and fixed the ugly screws in the ceiling that we have been staring hopelessly at for at least ten years. Which was very good of him seeing it wasn't in the scope of the work but it only took  him ten minutes and now we have a lovely smooth ceiling ready for painting.



Dad got home fine to NZ on an almost empty plane and through empty airports and is now sitting quietly at home, possibly doing some gardening. Number two son's school has brought forward the end of term exam week so it is his last day of classes today, with exams next week and nothing until Term 2 at the end of April. And who knows what will be going on then? We still only have a couple of shelves of food but with no cupboards there's no point in buying any more and I assume we'll be fine. Frankly we could do with a few weeks on reduced rations...

  1. Your quilt is not in the least boring! Our schools are all closed, probably till September. As are theatres, restaurants, museums, pubs... until further notice. It's all very very very odd and alarming. Still, quilting can still happen.
