This last week we went to Southerness to a Parkdean park for a holiday
this was the view from the caravan which was just at the top of the beach.
The park was huge with 700 caravans, built round some houses with views over the beach. It went on for miles.
The lighthouse at the end of the village.
There were Bluebells in the grass verges along the road.
This is a sunset over the beach

Another cot quilt made with Noah fabric
I like this quilt.
Here’s more dyeing using royal blue and black trying to get lighter shades but need bigger spaces between amounts of dye i think.

this will be a car when its finished, using freezer paper to make the pattern ad removed later, come back to see it finished
