Sashing...

I can probably count the number of people who will i) know what I am talking about, and ii) think it's funny when I say that in my head I always say 'sashing' in the That's Life 'sausages' dog voice!

Honestly it's been a long week, dealing with BT, the garage, listening to the central heating with renewed paranoia and now a new hissing in the downstairs toilet cistern.  So forgive my madness!

This week I did manage to sash all the Amsterdamer blocks though…


They look beautiful and I can't wait to piece the tops, but this weekend I fear school projects and homework will win over sewing.

PS. We are changing internet providers on Monday, so if the estimated 20 minutes of downtime turns into 20 hours, don't send out a search party xxx

  8. We always say sausages in that voice in our house, will now be forced to use it for sashing too!

  9. I hope the hissing in the cistern disappears but your sanity does not! Good luck with the homework and projects - any chance your presence won't be required for every single step so you can get some of those tulips joined together?

  12. Groan, I don't think I'll be able to think it the normal way now! Wasn't there a comedian with a puppet dog who said sausages the same way? Hope the house behaves itself!

  13. Oh dear... I think that one will now stick..Sashing will never be the same!

    My sympathy over the troubles with internet, and plumbing... I have been living with a hole in the ceiling of the utility for about 10 weeks now... before that it was the dining room ceiling for about 4 years...

  15. Yeah I know what you're talking about (cue ageist remark) but can't say I make that connection myself! Looking good though!

  16. I love these and the sashing is making me love them more. And want to steal them. But I won't. Because I'm being nice :-)
