We have just arrived back in Montevideo from the family visits up in the US.

The recently finished quilt was well received, with GS#3 rolling around in it, carrying it around folded, sleeping under it, and clearly very happy that at last he has one of his own.

GS #2, different family, is rather miffed that younger #3 has one already, and I hope this might be enough to push him over the hurdle of sleeping in his own bed, consistently, and thereby qualify for one, too. Fingers x – I’ll start it pretty soon, just in case.

I found some more lovely fruit and veg pattern fabrics and am now ready, mentally and logistically, to whizz off a couple of picnic quilts in time for the northern summer. DD bowled me over with strongly expressed desire for a quilt of her own, after all these years, so I have a fullish looking program ahead. At the same time I am going to really focus on more of the wool and leather ideas, with a particular fibre deadline in view much later this year.
