Tarde de Domingo :: Sunday Afternoon



Hoje passei uma óptima tarde no jardim, a lixar móveis, semear flores e coser o debrum no quilt (feito com camisas) que a minha mãe trouxe para o Tiago. Viva o Verão inglês!

Today I spent a lovely afternoon in the garden sanding furniture, sowing seeds and hand-sewing the binding on Tiago's new quilt (made by my mother using old shirts). Hurrah for English summer!

  6. I can't wait to see the finished quilt. I've saved two decades' worth of my husband's dress shirts, all white and various blues, for just such a purpose. One child's quilt I saw years ago used the shirt pockets in every other 8-inch square. Then a small toy was placed inside. Since my sons are now grown, I doubt I'll go that route (and a grandchild is highly unlikely), so I look forward to yours. I love what I can see already! Yes, summer (and spring) in England is a glorious time. Enjoy!
