When I had my big day of post-mulching rest last Thursday I discovered the British Bake Off show on Netflix. That turned into a weekend of binge watching. I don't know why I like that show so much because I can't eat one thing that they make but, for some reason, it's much more fun to watch than the US versions with all of their fake drama.  But the time wasn't a total waste. I finished off a new set of flower applique blocks. I've done so many of these that they go pretty quickly now. I've finished 40 and have 16 left to make.  I often recognize some of the fabrics from reprints that I've seem (or collected) over the years. I'm sure I had a repro of that blue one with the circles on it. I showed this one to Mom and we both think that her Mom had a dress made from this fabric. She made lots of dresses from floral prints just like this one.  I also got the repairs done on Lost My Marbles and decided to quilt a few veterans quilts before I load another quilt from my waiting list. I might get started on these today.

I always enjoy seeing the wonderful fabrics in these. Now you have me wondering if we can get that baking show - must have a look!

Your appliqué is wonderful, Vicki. The veteran quilt you have loaded on your longarm looks interesting. Will you please show it again when you are finished?

Hi Vicki - I love the British Baking Show, and have watched every season it has been on. It doesn't matter that I wouldn't bake anything they make, only that it is so interesting, and the hosts are so good, and entertaining. 6/18/2019 08:35:28 am
I agree that the British Baking Show is a good binge program. But then I want to eat sweets - and that isn't a good thing for a diabetic. Did I mention that I love to bake? Yes, so I only watched one season.

Only 16 more flowers to go is great! They are so pretty. I also binge watch the Great British Baking Show! I love that everyone is lovely to each other, instead of cutthroat. Also, there’s very little bad language, so I can watch it with my kids. It’s made my oldest a little crazy for baking, and I can now make macarons! Comments are closed.
