I can’t believe it’s 2 weeks since I posted! I jut haven’t felt well, have been off work sick,and just felt generally uncommunicative! Today is a new day & I feel much more like it.

I have been to a quilt show in town today, Weston Super Quilts 2010. I wish I had taken my camera to show you some of the very beautiful needlework that I have seen today! I couldn’t resist a few patchwork pieces from a lady who makes beautiful things to raise money for Friends Of Gambian Schools. I also couldn’t resist this beautiful necklace made by her Gambian ladies.

There is an exhibition of quilts by Camelot Quilters on Saturday 9th October 2010 at the Masonic Hall, Church Street ,Wedmore, Somerset.

Any Ideas?

Does anyone know the name of this lovely golden yellow leaved plant?

The photo was taken early in August.

September 12th

I have two suggestions for this plant,

Jasminum officinale ‘Aureum’ but I have never seen it flower and it’s been in the garden for some years now. Thank you Amanda

Then I found Jasminum officinale Fiona Sunrise by looking at lots of pictures of Jasminium, Im still not sure though. I’ll keep looking

I found this here, which took me to here. I love the idea of doing this once a month.

LO to follow, I am still stroking the beautiful new papers that arrived this morning! Basic Grey Manila, sooooo gorgeous and perfect for this.

Here are my August Currents.
