A lovely weekend

I had a lovely mothers day yesterday, Paul and the boys spoilt me rotten which was so nice, I cooked dinner but they all washed up. They gave me this yummy cake which we had for afternoon tea. My husband actually surprised me with a new leather lounge suite, its gorgeous. We were thinking about buying one for awhile then last week he said I think I'll get you a new leather lounge for mothers day. It was delivered on Friday while I was at work so when I got home it was all set up and looking lovely. I only wanted a new non stick frying pan which the boys gave me yesterday. So now its a bit of joke in our house. The boys even asked me which I liked best, the pan or the couch.

I did get lots of sewing done, I sewed the borders on this quilt, hooray its nearly finished. I have been working on and off this quilt for over a year. Just one leaf to applique and few more centres for the flowers.



I also got my Gardeners Journal out and sewed 2 blocks together, I'm quite enjoying stitching this project.





This one is all sewn and ready for my stitching.

I hope all the mums out there had a wonderful mothers day and you got some sewing time.
