The sun is out, look how the tulips have opened up, lovely patterns of black and yellow inside.
Red ones and streaky red/yellow ones - these two pics are of established tulips . . . .
. . . now here come the new ones, lovely colours
. . . plus a crazy one . . .
. . . and multi-petalled ones . . .
. . . and a fringed one (never seen one of these before).
And the eco-books, so-called because they are made with a cereal packet card cover, and paper that I was going to chuck out (it's old, I don't want so much, I'll never use it all), and the stitched cover into which the book is inserted is made by free machining scraps of fabric onto a wadding-type backing, plus a lining.
When the book is full, with shopping lists, things to remember, things to do, inspiring thought for the day etc etc a fresh one can be made, with more cereal packet and chuckout paper, and inserted into the stitched cover!

Love these books - i think I could spend quite a bit on the Tombola this year!
Hi Barbara
I'd love to sign up to follow you but I can't see a 'follow' button!
What unusual tulips! Thanks for sharing the photos.
I love the idea of collecting all the unused paper together in a special ecobook. Wish I could be at the Festival of quilts to win one.
I love those tulips. The books are such a good idea too.
that's nice of you, Gill. I can't figure out how to put buttons on the blog! It is all so fiddly. Barb
