Today is World AIDS Day. Last year, I had the great privilege to be involved with @thequiltersguild and @thtorguk.bsky.social to create a memorial quilt for Terry Higgins. In memory of all the men, women and children lost to this virus.

LEGO tram in Deák Ferenc square, Budapest

A friend who lives and works in Budapest has sent me this photo of the LEGO tram in Deák Ferenc Square #TramSky #lego #tram #tramway

I adore your quilt. Fabulous! ❤️

Hmm. Lots of “finished” in this post…shame I can’t edit 😀

I really must quilt my Kaffe Fassett quilt top. I’m sure I’m not the only one with several finished quilt tops waiting to be quilted and finished. I do finish things too! #quiltsky #quilting #sewing #menwhosew #menwhoquilt

Let me know if you come up next year and I’ll arrange it for you 👍😀

Hopefully, you’ll be back to visit in 2025. Did you get chance to look inside the police box at Town End? We’re often asked if it’s bigger inside…(it is of course). 😏

You are right: it’s always been like that.

Finishing a Reilly Blake cushion kit I bought a few years ago. It’s been on my To Do list for some time. #quilting #sewing #menwhosew #menwhoquilt

Spent the day up at #crichtramwayvillage with other #crichcare volunteers showing the site some love doing maintenance jobs.

As @harrysimmonds.bsky.social coined it, good to be back with the “tramily”. Great to see so many young people giving their time. More tomorrow.

Did you find a game to play? I’ve been sweeping leaves and more leaves at Crich. Same again tomorrow I suspect.

“Tramily” - did you invent that word? #creative #linguist

I remember them in cobbled streets in Liverpool. They were occasionally unearthed by roadworks in Leeds and donated to the Crich Tramway museum. The council had a connection through one of the officers.

Police boxes today at Crich Tramway Museum: Excellent! The trams were cool too.

Last day of the summer holidays, trip to Crich Tramway museum. Today's subject was 'shiny'.

A mixture of 6 photos, a lamp, a wooden box with handles on its side, a shined brass handle, brass button, a cherry leaf and a fence spike with gold on it between two red ones.

Another 6 photos, a tram control panel, a makers plate on an omnibus, a brass fire extinguisher, a brass cog, a penny from 1899 and guage.

Today's photo subject at Crich Tramway was 'brass'.

We should indeed. Maybe find all 4 of our bus-driving friends. Quite the challenge I suspect.

Latest #sewing project is a zip-up hoodie mostly constructed on my overlocker/serger. #menwhosew

We’re on our way to visit Hogwarts going past the “Up” House…

A fun little project to use up left over fabrics. #sewing #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #mensewtoo

It’s not always sunny at #crichtramwayvillage #newcastle102
