Spring has now officially arrived, and I am thinking about picnics and spending time lounging about outside. I have been invited to share another stall very soon and decided to make some patchwork picnic blankets.
This was the first one . I backed it with a cotton fabric and then realised that it wasn't thick enough for a picnic blanket, so decided it would be much nicer as a summer tablecloth.
I sewed a soft fleecy backing on the next one.
Then rolled it up into a little bundle and added some elastic and a button, and now it has become something that is easy to throw onto the back seat of a car, or in the basket of a push bike...
voila...picnic time !
I think I might use one to lie under this tree, and gaze at the sky studded with a mass of blossom that reminds me of confetti .

Hallo Sally,
I'm from germany, and I'm really sad because I can't invite you to a picnic with this beautiful
Blankets. They looks beautiful an cosy to me.
And you wrote from the spring. Here is autumn. A worm and sunny one. But it takes a long time till the magnolia blüht (I don't know the english word right now) again.
I wish you a wonderful picnictime!
Greetings from Celle near Hannover in Germany
