We've just spend a fantastic weekend visiting my son George who lives in Frome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We stayed in our motorhome Harvey J on a farm campsite nearby. The farmer owners were in the midst of lambing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent our weekend taking Spencer for walks including Heaven's Gate, Shear Water Lake and we also visited the spectacular Nunney Castle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weekend was rounded off very nicely with a delicious Sunday lunch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a few pics of our weekend:</div>

Hi there,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to try the Stitch and Flip method of quilting on a small project so I made these pretty table mats.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The table mats have different bindings. I used shop bought gingham bias binding on two of them. The other two, I used the self binding method where the backing fabric is used as the binding.</div>

It was a very cold day up on the Common when I asked Chris to take some photos of my new crocheted hat.</div>

I had a 100g ball of gorgeous variegated turquoise yarn...</div>

I followed a fantastic pattern by Hopeful Honey for a French Pompom beret. You can find the pattern <a href="http://www.hopefulhoney.com/2014/09/french-pompom-beret-crochet-pattern.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">here.</span></a> I hadn't ever crocheted a rib pattern before and it was interesting to see it grow so differently to a knitted rib i.e. horizontally instead of vertically.</div>

I didn't have enough yarn left to make the pompom so I made one mixing up some other yarns...I think it looks fine.</div>

Hi there,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to show you my travel wallet that I've just completed....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbJTpbAyAw6yM-cr0An4ChPmqCAydBAptjftNJYYNHxdSpggSJG3PtNiohYMZUKmvYn3ZvZuWQ1JbB9xFvQNq9RMakM6EisZJ5YsSICiHozdv7GOUV-LyxsRxpXrEuRcrizkMbIPobRYjW/s1600/IMG_3046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbJTpbAyAw6yM-cr0An4ChPmqCAydBAptjftNJYYNHxdSpggSJG3PtNiohYMZUKmvYn3ZvZuWQ1JbB9xFvQNq9RMakM6EisZJ5YsSICiHozdv7GOUV-LyxsRxpXrEuRcrizkMbIPobRYjW/s640/IMG_3046.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My existing travel wallet just wasn't big enough to hold all our documents. I saw this super <a href="https://youtu.be/iUW9HOvP9zo" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">YouTube tutorial by Debbie Shore</span></a> and adapted it to make a bigger wallet to hold everything.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTMRUOHCW_cL-TjIRTIUjNaoeDqrH9EsNR5KbdGUiCQ6sApUbAtfSBisYol2zsqVFWqPmu61nWAxuRIH5ydLhbN_lROpSECuU8qvAdiWcIse6wsfMXIVJhAWvYru6VdwuetUDsnKAzEPY3/s1600/IMG_3012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTMRUOHCW_cL-TjIRTIUjNaoeDqrH9EsNR5KbdGUiCQ6sApUbAtfSBisYol2zsqVFWqPmu61nWAxuRIH5ydLhbN_lROpSECuU8qvAdiWcIse6wsfMXIVJhAWvYru6VdwuetUDsnKAzEPY3/s640/IMG_3012.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used this wonderfully retro 1970s cord fabric that I had discovered in a charity shop. It had been sitting in my stash for a few years. There was only a small piece but it was just the right amount for my wallet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used another vintage fabric to line and bind my wallet....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's a<span style="text-align: center;"> pretty green floral fabric which is possibly an old Laura Ashley design.....</span></div>

Now I have plenty of room for our passports....four in all including two pets! They all fit perfectly into the zippered pocket.</div>

Hi again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I posted about <a href="http://prettyflowersinthewindow.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/handmade-patchwork-i-spy-quilt.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">my handmade I Spy Quilt</span></a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you fancied making your own I Spy Quilt, I am also selling Charm Packs. They contain 64 fabric squares....all novelty fabrics.....to make a very similar patchwork quilt top to mine. The squares measure 5"/12.5cm and will yield a patchwork top of about 35"/89cm square. These are all fabrics from my giant fabric stash!!.....Carefully selected and rotary cut by me!</div>

On the business front, I'm still selling cotton fabrics but I really miss making patchwork quilts to sell.....especially baby quilts!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I've made this I Spy Quilt to sell in my online shops, Daisy Patchwork, on eBay and Etsy.....it's similar to the one I made for our grandson, Charlie. <a href="http://prettyflowersinthewindow.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/i-spy-baby-quilt.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #a64d79;">See here.</span></a></div>

And it was a success so I thought I'd share the recipe with you. I don't know where this recipe originated from as I found it written in my old recipe book...probably written at least twenty five years ago! And it's in old currency!</div>

(To sterilise the jars and lids, I wash them in the dishwasher, then place them in the oven at a low temperature whilst the marmalade is boiling.)</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut the peel into strips with a knife or scissors discarding any bad bits. You can remove the pith if you like as it makes the marmalade more bitter but I don't worry about doing this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place the peel, juice and water in a large bowl.</div>

Bring slowly to the boil on a low heat. This should take about an hour. Then cover the pan and simmer gently for one and a half hours or until peel is tender.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Remove the bag of pips and set aside. I put them in a jug but a better idea is to put the bag in a sieve above a jug to catch the juice. This juice contains pectin which is important in the setting of the marmalade. Later, once the bag is cool enough, squeeze out as much juice as possible and add to the pan.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime, squeeze any juice from the cooled bag of pips and add this juice to the pan.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put some saucers in the fridge for cooling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After about half an hour of boiling, test to see if the marmalade is setting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do this by putting a spoonful of marmalade on a cooled saucer, put back in the fridge and leave for a few minutes. Then if the marmalade forms a skin and makes a wrinkle, it is ready.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst you are checking for setting, turn off the heat. Check every 5-10 minutes until set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once you are happy that the setting point has been reached, leave the marmalade for 10-20 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then fill the sterilised, warm jars using a jam funnel if you have one. If not, then ladle in carefully. </div>
<br />

But the hat is smoother and more slouchy because of the different yarn, I think!</div>

Just before Christmas I made this crocheted bobble blanket (?) ......</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It started life as a blanket for my cat Max but as it progressed I thought the bobbles wouldn't be very comfortable for him to lie on. Trouble is I've made it a cat blanket size and now I don't know what to do with it! Any ideas?!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've just celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

No lounging on a Barbados beach this year!</div>

This photo was taken on our anniversary and by some random quirk of fate, I happen to be wearing the hat I wanted to show you today....</div>

I came across <a href="http://www.ballstothewallsknits.com/2014/10/super-slouch-hat.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">this lovely hat pattern by Balls to the Walls Knits</span></a> and decided I wanted a slouchy hat of my own. </div>

One of the things I liked about this pattern is that it's knitted on normal needles not circular or double pointed. Here's mine....</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lack of slouchiness maybe because I changed the pattern slightly by doing k2tog instead of ssk as I found it quicker and easier but it resulted in a less lacy pattern and hence less loose and slouchy!</div>

This is the first hat, I've knitted and I really enjoyed it although I did go wrong a few times and had to undo! My Mum has asked me to make her one too so hopefully I'll be able to show you her hat next time.</div>

I have gathered lots of free patterns on my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/maggiemoore/hats/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Pinterest Board Hats.</span></a> Please feel free to have a look if you fancy making a hat.

For my paper hexies, I found some really good printable templates at <a href="http://cadouri-din-inima.blogspot.ro/2013/01/tips-for-cutting-hexagon-templates.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Geta's Quilting Studio.</span></a><span style="color: purple;"> </span>They save so much time...I can't believe I use to draw around a hexagon and cut them out individually!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I need to make about another 20 blocks. I'm thinking of a large lap quilt to snuggle up in or a topper for a double bed maybe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really enjoying making this quilt. If you want to make it, the pattern may be found here at <a href="http://quiltinggallery.com/2014/12/31/happy-new-year-sew-along/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Michele's Sew Along.</span></a></div>

Just a quick post as I've become rather engrossed in a new patchwork quilt!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a Bright Stars Quilt from Michele Foster......It's a Quilt-Along....you can find the pattern <b><a href="http://quiltinggallery.com/2014/12/31/happy-new-year-sew-along/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">here.</span></a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The quilt uses lots of 2.5" squares which I already have cut out....remember my <a href="http://prettyflowersinthewindow.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/scrappy-crafting-in-brittany.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><b>holiday in Brittany</b></span></a> last year where I took my Accuquilt and cut loads of squares from scraps!</div>

We've had lots of lovely family time over Christmas and of course lots of dog walks on Rodborough Common. The Doggy Christmas Tree is there...people pin photos of their dogs on the tree, some with very heart warming/tear jerking messages, and there is a donation box for a local animal charity.....here are a few pics!</div>
