You may be surprised to know that I was quite the domestic goddess today! (even I'm surprised!)
I made soup from homegrown tomatoes, basil, tarragon & celery; YUM
Made a fruit crumble from homegrown apples, white currants & 2 raspberries (and no shop bought crumble mix either! Oh no! I made my own cinnamon crumble!); DOUBLE YUM
And .... (hold on to your hats) made a Victoria sponge, from scratch, with homemade plum jam (made by my friend!)!
I even took my youngest blackberry picking!!
I'm in danger of growing my hair long, dying it black, and considerably upsizing my hips!!
And there was some sewing too!

| Pears & Mini Maple leaf blocks from Farm Girl Vintage |
This is my block in Brit Bee Round 4.
This year we are each designing a block to make up 1 quilt design. At the end of our year(ish) we will all have the same quilt design, but made with a block from each of the other 11 members to go with our own block. Clear as mud?!
We also make a 15" centre block to get started. Because of the Farm Girl Vintage vibe going on round here, I thought I'd use the baby chick block I'd previously made from the book, bringing it up to size with Low Volume borders.
