Hey Joanne and Elle, you should both know I don't mind...how can I when I am guilt of drifting off subject more times than I can remember tee hee!!
Elle...I have been following all the progress of the IRR, there are some amazing quilts being put together, they are all treasures.
No wonder the Spanish ladies went gah gah...the little patchwork that is done here is quite errrmmm boring?? :roll: Did you go to the Shop in Torre, with the room in the back, one of the ladies is called Isabel?
Thanks K., I really feel I like the way this quilt has turned out now, if I don't like things I can't settle with them and it wouldn't have got finished...I like it when I like it, it's gotta be right in my eyes or it will forever haunt me lol!! I am going to use this to practice machine quilting on, lots of open spaces. That's when I can sort out some backing fabric for it that is.

Sorry Joanne, I forgot to include the recipe for lemon curd:
4 large lemons
4oz unsalted butter
4 eggs
1lb sugar
Grate zest of one lemon, set aside.
Squeeze juice of all lemons, mix with beaten eggs
Fill large pan with boiling water and place all ingredients in a heatproof bowl over the top, simmer water stirring mixture continuously, as it warms you will see a fine foam start to form on the top, as soon as this disappears, it's done!!
Pour into sterilised jars and keep refrigerated. It takes a couple of hours in the fridge to set.
Makes a couple of 1lb jars.
Enjoy!!
