Sun and thunderstorm - quilt and babies

My friend and sister-in-law, who lives in Australia sent me more than a year ago a fantastic quilt pattern, named Formal Dress. Together with it were also the jelly rolls to make it. I am so happy that I finally managed to finish this beautiful quilt. 

I have been busy in the sewing room! With the baby on the way I get carried away and have lots of lovely projects in my mind. Pinterest a great help, so many ideas!! What about this bandana bib, my daughter's old bear is wearing?

 

It seems that baby's nowadays are supposed to be in sleeping bags for their naps. Because the baby is due in August I just made this thin cotton bag and am planning the next one to be from flannel and then we will go on to the quilted ones. 

 It is a bit windy in the garden,so it is difficult to make a picture that shows the exact shape, but I'll guess, you get the idea!

The garden is lovely at the moment, especially when there is a breeze, usually early in the morning.

Great spot to  do some hand sewing. I have this work in progress going on. Six placemats for a friend with a Dachshund. 

I really enjoy working in the garden. That is: sitting and sewing or drinking coffee with friends, but also the real garden work, pruning weeding and so on!!!

 

This all looks lovely and sunny, but we have had quite some thunderstorms last week.

This is how it started. As we have a problem in the street with these short heavy rains I went to the front. 

 And below is a picture of the street half an hour later! 

 

After the rain, the sun again
