I had an enormous panic today when the picture editing programme stopped working. Nothing would resize, cropping wouldn't respond and even though the mouse clicked, the new edits stubbornly refused to load. I am not calm when things change or or go wrong with computing. I know this is because my skills look good but are really very superficial indeed! There are so many things I don't understand and boxes I daren't click as I have no idea what they do or even mean! Metatags anyone?? But I feel a sense of major triumph now because I remembered that our keyboard is wire free and therefore Must Have A Battery!!! So after fiddling around with a tiny triangular cover thing at the side of it and making sure that I kept the batteries I got out of a very small hole in the correct order, I have put in new ones and Bingo!!! Now the editing programme is responding to my full powered keyboard and I am in celebration mode!! Time for a glass of wine and two slices of ginger cake.....
So here are the fully edited photos of my quilt which features Peter Rabbit and friends.....

I loved these stories when I was little and now I read them to our little ones too. I have had these character pictures for a while, but wasn't sure what to do with them. I decided to add log cabin blocks to them and then my usual corner stars. The colours are soft pinks, blues and creams in checks, dots or flowers.

The backing fabric is white with Peter Rabbit and tiny flowers....

The binding is pale blue with little raddishes from Mr MacGreggor's garden.
The quilting is in straight lines in the ditch and through the middle of some of the bigger logs....

I am so pleased with this cot quilt, the colours are so soft and spring like. The weather is inproving although still very wet. I have hung up my spring wall quilt to encourage myself and we have crocus out in the garden in the last few days.

I hope your computer keyboard behaves itself this week, when in doubt check your batteries and I hope you have a lovely week sewing,
Happy Mothering Sunday
Kind regards,
