After it finished flowering over a year ago I just chucked it in the garden. Didn't do anything with it until I tidied that patch of the garden, I just tidied it up by cutting of the shrivelled stork and cut the leaves off and tucked it in a corner. I spotted a bud in the rain the other day.</div>

My friend asked me if I could recover her bar stools and make some cushion covers too. She provided the fabric, there was loads left and knowing she liked Seagulls I asked her if she would like a cushion with a Seagull. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern for the seagull is from <a href="http://bustleandsew.com/magazine/">Bustle & Sew</a> magazine. You can also get to Bustle & Sew by clicking on the picture on my sidebar too.</div>

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and rub together with finger tips, work well and as the butter melts the ingredients all gather together and the bowl becomes clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place onto a floured surface and roll out about 1/4" thick and using a biscuit cutter cut out shapes and place onto greased baking sheet. Keep doing this until all the mixture has been used up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prick the shapes with a fork and cook on 180 degrees, Gas 4 for about 15 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When cooked take out of the oven, sprinkle with sugar and leave on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to cool a little.</div>

I chose <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/princess-charlottes-bonnet">this one</a>. <br />
It was very easy to knit even the cable pattern was simple you didn't need a cable needle, you just knitted two stitches and slip a stitch across. It was knitted in one piece, the only stitching was to stitch in the ends and stitch up the hem for the casing for the ties</div>

The boot fair yesterday at Blue Anchor. The field was full with sellers and loads of people looked. Although after the pitch fee we made exactly £32, not sure how though because people picked up what they liked, asked the price, I said £1, most things we were selling were a £1 they put it down again and walked away. What do they want these days FREEBIES?</div>

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">London Pride is a flower that's free.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">London Pride means our own dear town to us,</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">See the coster barrows,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">The vegetable marrows and the fruit piled high,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Oh, Liza,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Little London sparrows,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Covent Garden Market where the costers cry.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Cockney feet </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Mark the beat of history.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Every street pins a memory down.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">There's a little city flower,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Ever spring unveiling,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Growing in the crevices,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">By some London railing.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Though it has a Latin name</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">In town and countryside,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">We in England call it</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">London Pride.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">See the policeman yawning</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">In the empty street.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;" />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Early rain,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">And the pavement's glistening,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">All Park Lane </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">In a shimmering gown.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Nothing ever could break or harm</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">In our city, darkened now,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Street and square and crescent,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">We can feel our living past</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">In our shadowed present.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Ghosts beside our starlit Thames</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Who lived and loved and died</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Keep throughout the ages</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">London Pride.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;" />

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Taken so for granted</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">For a thousand years.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Every Blitz,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">Your resistance toughening.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: start;">From the Ritz</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The Laburnum Fairy </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Bees! bees! come to the trees</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">But soon the blossoms pretty and pale</span></div>

I thought I would knit some Seagulls which are now for sale in my shop <i>(see the side bar)</i>. The pattern was devised by myself which is also for sale if you fancy trying your hand at knitting your own. </div>

I haven't been around for a while. The garden called, I won't show anymore pictures of the garden for a while, you are all spared. There isn't much to see now anyway.......! I haven't been idle either. I made some large corsages.<i> </i>Three were a special order from USA, <strike>but two are in my shop <i>(see sidebar).</i></strike></div>

I have also made the first of three special quilts.<br />

<br />
I used very little equipment to make this quilt. I was shown how to do this quilt too many years ago I care to remember by a lovely lady I once knew as a child, so I know the sizes of how to do this off-by-heart. When I was first shown there were no such things as cutting mats and cutting wheels, and most patchwork was English Paper Pieced and hand stitched together. I actually used to use a ruler set-square, protractor before cutting mats - a great invention do you not think - cutting mats that is!<br />
<br />
This quilt is a combination of Machine Sewing, Hand Sewing and Quilt-as-you go.<br />
<br />
<b>STAGE ONE</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGarH4BjZZbVhbw2bLrNdTOtbVuMqsHQpjFtTRLeBbqph5kGE6HKzXU77gGiVmgMZhuCkTj34P1EUYVPEzBVKPLGXEZ0Cbx896zzBSAwHYiWNZkXsc3W6gqoI_RI0YOei4JwKUx7kg/s1600/3-May-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGarH4BjZZbVhbw2bLrNdTOtbVuMqsHQpjFtTRLeBbqph5kGE6HKzXU77gGiVmgMZhuCkTj34P1EUYVPEzBVKPLGXEZ0Cbx896zzBSAwHYiWNZkXsc3W6gqoI_RI0YOei4JwKUx7kg/s320/3-May-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Take a 10" x 5" (5" x 5" square) piece of fabric and fold in half and press with a hot iron. <br />
Lay on the cutting mat between the 0 and 5" line.<br />
Using a pen and ruler draw the line as shown :-<br />
From 1" top to 0 bottom<br />
From 2" top to 3" bottom<br />
From 5" top to 4" bottom<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Cut the pieces carefully holding the fabric.<br />
You will need sixteen pieces just like above.<br />
<br />

Turn right-side out and press with the iron.<br />
(A lot of pressing is required from this stage)<br />
<br />

<br />
Machine all the pieces into pairs. Then press the seam.<br />
Always machine from the pressed pointed end to the narrow edge.<br />
(The centre edges will with uneven but that will not matter)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then machine the pairs together making section of four pieces,<br />
making sure all the seams are pressed going the same way.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Take a large square of fabric. <br />
This depends how large you would like your patch. <br />
Fold in four and press. <br />
Place four points on the crease lines and carefully measure<br />
to make sure it is central and pin in place.<br />

<br />
To make sure the seams meet together accurately because the weight of the quilting makes the quilt heavy and awkward, I always pin and machine the joins first, then I machine the full length of the quilt, this stops the fabric slipping despite of the pinning well first.<br />

I have been making this style of quilt ever since I could hold a pair of scissors and needle and thread, and have made quite a few over the years, some quilts were completed and some were left....... I even made a skirt from the pattern once too! That is is whole new story................<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>The design is called the <b>The Dresden Plate.</b></i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>The Dresden Plate was devised by the German emigrant women in the 1930's from their precious Dresden Plates. They drew round their fancy precious plates and folded the circular paper pattern into sections and the template was born!</i></div>
<br />
<br />
This particular design make a sixteen piece patch, but remember a circle is 360 degrees so <b>experiment!</b><br />
<br />
22.5 degree angles = 16 piece patch<br />
45 degree angles = 8 piece patch<br />
90 degree angles = 4 piece patch<br />
<br />
10 degree angles = 36 piece patch<br />
20 degree angles = 18 piece patch<br />
<br />
12 degree angles = 30 piece patch<br />
24 degree angles = 15 piece patch<br />
<br />
60 degree angles = 6 piece patch<br />
40 degree angles = 9 piece patch<br />
<br />
I use the 16 piece patch because I know it fits onto a 5" square of fabric<br />

That was the things that went right, the things that went wrong! One husband lost his tooth, a crown he has had for years, normally if it comes out whilst eating he retrieves it makes an appointment with the dentist and it get put back, not this time..........no........... this time is got swallowed. I did say he could look for it but would he want it back in his mouth........ and probably about time he had a new one.......... he is going to have a new one but at a cost! Two, The fuel pump in the car has gone so another repair, car trapped in town, last time this happened he was across the road reversing into the drive, next thing I see the neighbours pushing the car onto our drive,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
so we thought it was just a flooded engine because the car started straight away the next day and that was before we took the trip to Okehampton and thought nothing of it,we could have easily been stuck in Tavistock on a very wet day! Three, The man was suppose to come and check the rampaging woodworm but never turned up at the allotted time, rang us past the time he should have arrived and said he wasn't coming our way because another appointment has been cancelled. Husband rang them back and said he was going to take his business elsewhere, they are suppose to be coming next week now!

Third stalk in full flower. The second stalk had three flower heads, and the third one has four. I will miss this Amaryllis when this bulb finally dies down. You can follow its growth from <a href="http://kcscourt.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/gardening.html">here</a>. I have to say it has been stunning, and I have loved watching it grow.</div>

The plan is to perhaps plant roses and other flowering shrubs. There was a lot of brambles and once we got to near the fence lots of dead wood. Its a lane which once ran along the bottom of the garden, it was once probably a bier trail we think because beyond the oak tree always in the back-ground of the amaryllis is the graveyard.</div>

Back to the title of the post. I suspect you are all getting fed-up with this, go on admit it. This new stalk has had to be tied up, it started bending in the middle, and I think the smaller one will have to be tied too, I didn't have to tie the first stalk. I have come to the conclusion though that, and has anyone else noticed? There are no leaves. No leaves to take over, no leaves to take the energy from the stalks and flowers.</div>
