A birthday - and a bye bye!

The ABCs came for a stitching day today and we sat at the table in the garden under the big green umbrella, my very favourite place to entertain at this time of year.

It was the last time we’ll see Gay (in the centre of the photo above) until she returns to us in November because she flies home to England on Monday – with several new quilts in her luggage. She’s been very industrious during her 4 month stay.

This is one of Gay's creations, made with hand dyed fabrics.

We celebrated Anne’s birthday too, with a delicious gluten-free orange cake that Gail had made. Here she is getting ready to blow out her candle and make a wish. Happy Birthday, Annie!
