Sewing and sowing

Today I stitched three of the triangles which will eventually adorn Macca Pacca's quilt cover. They have been waiting a long time as I need to spread the fabric on the floor to fold and pin them before machining them and getting up from the floor takes a lot of energy which is something of a minus quantity in the winter. Now that spring seems to have arrived it is a lot easier.

I went to Hatton Locks for lunch and sat in the sunshine reading my book and watching the world go by. I needed my fleece but it was not too cold to be pleasant. When I got back home I planted a wigwam of french beans and a couple of rows of carrots. The beans are new and I shall plant some more next week but the carrot seed was left over from last year so I'm not sure if they will come up. The garlic is doing very well and it looks like most of the cloves I planted have come up so we should be self-sufficient in garlic from July.
