I finished off the cot quilt last night, not quite so long hand sewing on this one!

I went for my health MOT this morning, blood pressure a bit high so have to go back in a couple of weeks to get it checked again. If still high might be sent home with a 24 hour or 7 day monitor! The blood test results won't be back for a couple of days. After that Darren dropped me off at the ceramic studio as it was raining hard, and has been all day. Sandy was a bit late opening but there is a porch so I waited there. Also gave me the time to go over the road and make a hair appointment. Joanne is looking well, has ten weeks to go, will give her the quilt on Monday.Then I spent about an hour and a half finishing off the scarecrow plate.

Watched an episode of Taggart from my box set when I got home, over two hours, but very good. Six more to go! I want to try a quilt pattern called 'rail fence', no idea why, but I like the effect. I ordered some material on line and it arrived yesterday. So have been cutting strips and sewing them together, then cutting out the squares. After six squares were made I laid them out to give an idea of the design.

Have sewn and ironed all the strips now so have to cut the squares, should have 49 when I am done! Grantchester tonight.
