Productive morning on the allotment, whilst I topped one of the beds with compost, hubby fitted bracing pieces to the larger of the 2 gates he's made.

One gate almost finished on hubby's allotment, just the X braces to be fitted. He sys he's no good at woodwork, but I think he's done an amazing job

Meet Auntie Sandra's quilt. My latest quilt top, just wadding and backing to attach, then to quilt.
All fabric from my friend's 80 year old Auntie Sandra's stash, hence the name
