spotted through the week...

... on our mop top tree (robinia) early one morning after rain during the night. I've not noticed the water beading so much on leaves before. Maybe I was just concious of it because my husband polished my car last week and the water beaded nicely on it during the rain.

It didn't last long, but looked first up like the tree had been dusted with snow or icing sugar. It was only close up that the water spots became obvious.

all on show

The exhibition is all underway and going well - I am pleased with the gallery and the way it all looks. After preparing for the launch somewhat nervously over the last few days, wondering how many might come, I can catch my breath and relax this evening. It was a very succesful afternoon with an encouraging and admiring group of family, friends and quilters. Most wanted to know why it had taken so long...
These are a few photos. Please come and check it out if you are able - it is on until Sunday 20 June

And here is a picture of A mixed bunch - the 'blooming shoulder pads' mentioned previously. It is another of my GIDDI creations - great idea, difficult to implement
