THEY'RE CHANGING GUARD AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE

Rebecca went with her mum not with Alice!!  Sorry, couldn't resist it. Yes Annette took Rebecca to London for the day as promised way way back, she - Rebecca - wanted to see Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. It is a Kate thing with Rebecca, she just loves her, well, who doesn't? The thing is though, what she DIDN'T know was that her mum had bought tickets to GO INSIDE Buckingham Palace and view THAT DRESS and all the other things on display. When Annette told her, she was outside BH gates and she rang me on her mobile and screamed and squealed VERY LOUDLY down it to me that she was GOING INSIDE. My ears are still ringing with that call, she was soooooo excited bless her. If you go over to Annette's Blog you will see the wonderful pictures of their day out, I have 'nicked' a few for here though too cos they are so good.

Rebecca with THOSE tickets...

 Yes, you are going to see THAT DRESS...

 Inside the Palace grounds...

 The rain didn't stop this girl from doing the Tour...

 I had a sudden mad idea to make Rebecca a bag for her trip to London,

I printed pictures of Kate onto fabric then appliqued them to a blue background - which I hoped

was similar to the dress she wore at her engagement, I do my best folks,

this was to be the front...

 a close up of one of the pictures, I really like this one, oh yes

and that tassell I have had for many years and it was just perfect for this bag...

 This is the back of the bag, a picture of the pretty shoes which we didn't get to

see on the day, and her bouquet -

not sure if you can see I quilted vermicelli style with little hearts

mixed in just for Rebecca...

 another close up, I bought the ribbon Union Jack Flags on our market

they worked just right on this, I put a zip on the top for safety for Rebecca in London!!!

 the very pretty bouquet...

Rebecca loved it.

Now for something completely different -

More of Rebecca's cross stitch pictures. She is zooming away on these now -

here's Winnie the Pooh...

 a sleepy cat...

 a Royal Carriage - maybe this should have gone on her bag!!!

 Well done Rebecca, great job of all of them.

Changing tack yet again.

Someone and I cannot remember who, was asking for orphan blocks,

That is if you would like them.

 Maybe someone out there can tell me who it was please, I would be grateful.

Something else again..

Now this is a small Quilt I designed for Makower, this is a copy of the original,

I don't know what to do with it???

Any suggestions???
