New Quilts

Yeah ~ part of our new quilt collection has arrived with us and they are fab!

These lovely quilts are made from Indian cotton, are hand quilted and beautifully made. From the top they are Ohio Star (tea dyed to give it the rich vintage colouring), a country applique quilt (with lots of folk art designs appliqued onto the quilt), a pure white Amish style quilt and the one on the bottom is Solid Magic (tea dyed).
I have displayed them in this stack on the day bed in the shop and they look lovely.

Dave is busy 'doing something' with our new website today ~ I haven't asked what he is doing as each time I glance over at his computer screen it is covered with numbers and letters and coding that I don't understand (nor do I feel the need to learn about it). It's nice that our skills complement each other and there is no guilt about not learning how to do each other's work.

Friends often ask if we fall out and argue much, given that we work 5 feet away from each other, but this rarely happens and I can't remember the last time we had cross words together (it must be about 6 years ago). Although we sit next to each other all day, we don't speak much during our working day, because we are both focussing on different things. Usually we talk about a particular something that one of us is working on, but there is very little chit-chat as we save that for the end of the working day.

Our usual routine when we get home, is to have a cup of tea together (what a surprise! regular visitors will know that we drink way too much tea, but it keeps us happy) and then we go into separate rooms for a couple of hours to do our own things and unwind. Probably the opposite of what most couples do, but it works for us.

Gosh, I've just noticed the time... I need to go and find some lunch, chat soon, Liz
