The fabulous Amy, over at During Quiet Time, very generously allowed us to use her latest free pattern, Calico Grove, to do block 5 of FPPFTT.  When I saw it I knew it would be perfect for tackling sectional blocks, and in fact 4 sets paper bases make up one block, so...

It's a popular nesting spot for them, and there are several options for boat trips out to the island. I went with a long lens so as not to stress them out.​​​​​​​​​ #puffins #staffa #scotland #uk #migrationmonday #migrationmondaylt #travelphotography #canon7d #mycanon #canonuk

Well done to everyone who guessed the lighthouse y Well done to everyone who guessed the lighthouse yesterday! There's a bit of a story behind this one. 2 weeks ago I had my last day at my old job after 10 1/2 years. Near the end of my first year in the job, after a very stressful couple of months with a demanding client where I was working practically around the clock, I finished that phase of the project and went online to find a last minute holiday to recover. I ended up spending a week in November in the old keeper's cottage in the lighthouse at Ardnamurchan, the most westerly point on the British mainland. Sadly, you can no longer stay there, but in honour of that week away and my first great escape, I used the voucher from my 10 year long service award and some money my colleagues gave me when I left to purchase this set. This weekend, just before I start my new job, seemed the best time to build it. #legolighthouse #thegreatescape #onwardsandupwards

Just before I ran away to Taynuilt, I finished the Just before I ran away to Taynuilt, I finished the top of the orange thing. I'm now contemplating how to quilt it. At the moment, I'm leaning towards some matchstick lines in different directions in different sections, but that thought is still percolating. In the meantime, I'm wrestling my puff quilt through the machine, which is quite hard going
