I cleared out my vegie garden today - it had become so feral I couldn't even get in there to find any vegetables! It was like a jungle! I ripped heaps of things out but saved the last of the vegies, so I am back to pickle making again today. Sigh, I thought that was over for another year. So I'm making bread and butter cucumbers, green tomato pickle and zucchini pickles. Here are some of the vegies degorging.
I haven't done much sewing this week. I was back at work after a few days off with very nasty virus, and just found it exhausting. I just wanted to sleep when I came home. In fact, I just wanted to sleep while I was at work too! But I did start quilting Lyle's Asian quilt. I am just quilting in the ditch and will probably stipple the wide border. An all over design would have looked better, but at this stage I just want to get it finished, it has been sitting around for so long. Lyle wants it finished too - this was supposed to be his birthday present not from last year, but the year before!

Hope you are feeling better now. It took me ages to get over the virus I had too. I really like the cot quilt you finished - it will be lovely for your sister. And the quilt with the dresden plate is beautiful - love the fabrics. Hope you have a happy Easter and greetings to Sugar and Spice.
