Bright patches

It's been a busy week with needle and hook. The orange quilt has progressed from piles of triangle to mostly squares, sewn in a pinwheels pattern. The next step is to join the squares together, and then I will have to consider what applique to do on top.

I fancied doing a crochet project for a change, but only have odds and ends of wool. There is enough, however, to whip up some critters. This rabbit  pattern is taken from Kerry Lord's book called 'Edward's Menagerie' ( a fitting title) which Deb treated me to for my birthday a few years ago. He's very soft and squishy, and may acquire some friends in the near future!

Finally, some signs of spring in the garden, growing in the walled beds outside the patio doors - very cheering.
