L Scatterings ....City ....Purple .....Sky .....Lap Quilt


CITY


        >
   Lund in Sweden

I took these photos while passing through the city of Lund in Southern Sweden last year.... nice blue local train and some lovely buildings opposite the station. I was a great fan of the Danish detective series 'The Killing'. The main detective, Sara Lund developed a cult following of fans liking her Fair Isle jumper and wanting the pattern! So when passing through Southern Sweden where the second series is set, I had to have a photo of the city! Here is a photo of Sarah, played by Sofie Grabol in her 'trending' jumper!




PURPLE
Luggage




This piece of 'hard-knocks' luggage was in a store room but I know it does a great job housing and transporting quilts





SKY

Liquid 
A break in an afternoon shower creates a liquid sky over Albert Park Beach in Melbourne on Monday, 22 April 2013 at about 4pm. Looking south towards St Kilda and........... beyond.


Lap Quilt
'Technically speaking,....' I hear you all say!
Yes, I know it's still a lap top! But I have more of those than lap quilts. I made this one in 2006 during a Margaret Kirkby course using Jinny Beyer fabric. I found the machine piecing very difficult and feel I have made this top at least 6 times as I had to unpick it so often. I learned a lot but it took a long time before the quilt and me became friends.


Apologies for any mistakes...it is late and my ISP has slowed my connection. Another 'to do' on today's list. Must get to bed ;-0
