Spend Christmas...




Spend Christmas...enjoying Fionna's new children's story The Quilt available from today on Amazon. With glorious illustrations by Hanneke Koop and a brilliant book design by my talented daughter Allison, it's a book for children, parents and grandparents. Only one review written so far - but it's a FIVE star!! Many thanks to whoever wrote it. There's a Kindle version too.






Some years ago, my sisters, sisters in law and I met up at our family holiday home and over a long weekend created a beautiful quilt from fabrics that evoked memories of our childhood and and family over all many years. I took photographs, and created a photobook, including every member - and dog- in our family. The quilt lives at the lake, and everytime we go there, the book is brought out and pored over. The kinds love seeing themselves, and identifying all the family members. Both the quilt and the photobook are family treasures now. Here's our real quilt:



and here's our real lake and holiday home.



Our family has been here for around 120 years, although this is not the original cabin.
