July fresh sewing day

 Its that time of the year again: the first of the month, where I am linking up to Lily's Quilts , with my July makes.

I have to say, mine a very limited this month! I appear to have done nothing, but this is not the case as I will show you in  a moment

I have been busy working on the two swaps that I signed up for : the BQS3 and the purse frame swap

The mini quilt is a work in progress. The purse has now been received by its recipient, (who doesn;t have a blog) and thankfully she loved it!! What a relief


I have also finally made my ET block into a cushion cover.  I am so pleased with this



This is my first finish for Rhonda's finish along. I have so many things to finish before I can start the pile of new things in my head!

 And this is why I don't seem to have done a lot of sewing, I have been spending my evenings sewing scraps.  I bought some templates from paper pieces (fabulous service btw) and have decided to give the double wedding quilt a try!




I have a huge pile of these now and I am sewing away each evening, as well as trying to catch up on some other sewing

Yesterday was my last day at work for 4 weeks: hooray! Loads of sewing for me then
