Bye bye August

Back to school/work for me on Monday - where has the summer gone, and hasn't the weather been brilliant (it is about time really!)

Having had time off work for the summer, I have managed to do quite a bit of sewing, but none of it is on my FAL list: I need to rectify that in September!

I am completely up to date with Bee blocks, including both of Septembers. The black and white are Sarah's September Hipbee blocks, then Fiona August Hipbee block


and then Karen's September Bee a Brit Stingy blocks.  It's great to be so up to date!

 
I have also started, and very nearly finished a quilt for Jenny.  She moves out on Friday and wanted a quilt to take with her.  I will provide more quilt details when it's finished, but you can see it's a nice bright one!
 
 

 
And finally, some finishes for my NEW ETSY SHOP.  These are my first items and are going in the shop today.

  4. You have had a busy month :o) I have to say, never remember to look at my FAL list until about 3 days before the deadline, so I know I've probably failed 10 times over right now ;o)

  11. Beginning of term and you have your swat hat on, I see, being all up to date and pleased with yourself! Actually, I'm just jealous, I love the feeling of being all up to date with things. Thank you for my blocks, they are great. Jennie's quilt looks brilliant and I can see you've been working hard for your etsy shop. All the best with it!
