    That looks quite complicated but very nice Mary. Are you going to make a full size quilt out of small swatches, or a tiny quilt for a doll?

    My winter pursuits are going on holiday somewhere hot and sunny, and being very miserable until Spring when I'm not on holiday.

    I find there is still plenty of gardening to do in the Winter, just need the weather to do it.

    I bought some waterproof glue and am going to see if any are salvagable.

    That's quite a challenge you've set yourself there @ju1i3. When I saw your pot collection it made me want to make something like these...

    Kitty, That's brilliant. I knew I was saving those broken pots for something.

    Replacing my unlovely front fence with stones and a flowering hedge. Making curtains for the dining room. Practising my Welsh and my trombone.

    Looks good Mary.   Patchwork for me too with patchwork group on Mondays and machine patch classes once  a month on Thursdays so I have loads of homework plus Possum's moon quilt.  Mosaic class on Monday too - more hoework.  Ballroom dancing on Thursday evening.

    Other than that, sewing the odd new frock/skirt/shirt/jacket for me, new shorts and trousers for OH, a couple of dance frocks for evenings out and, when the weather's OK and we finally get some rain, there'll be gardening too.

    Arthritis is creeping up on me too Diana so, like many of us on here, I now take a dialy dose of turmeric after a recommendation form Joyce.   It helps a lot.

    That card is impressive.
