I do not accept...

...that the summer is over!!  If I had my way, August would end in a couple of weeks time.

So it is with some disdain that I am linking with Fresh Sewing Day!

Well this was a month of 24/7 kids, family, holidays and Olympics, so my sewing output was seriously restricted.

I did make a whole quilt for Sizzix/FOQ/CottonPatch, and a hell of a lot of other blocks, so I mustn't grumble!


We have quite literally just got back from Legoland though, so I will fill you in with that and more tomorrow; but for now I need to catch up with Doctor Who, (and a million emails/blog posts); the perfect start to September x

  11. Oh I agree...I'm not ready to go back to the routine next week and really really wish I had 2 more weeks!

  12. What great makes, Hadley. Really really love the petal blocks! They are going to make a fabulous quilt.

    Conversely, I am totally ready for September and back to school. Then I may have half a chance to do some sewing while the baby sleeps if her sister is in school. All I have done for the past 6 weeks is referee squabbles!

  21. You have achieved lads, and far more than me, all I seem to have done in any quantity is *bought* fabrics! Tomorrow's challenge is to pack it all into the cases - may be sone clothes being donated to goodwill!

  26. Good grief... thats restricted sewing...??? Maybe your August was longer than mine, can't believe that I am going back to work tomorrow :-(

    ReplyDelete
  27. Looking good! Brace yourself: I'm going to ask a stupid question now. Did you use a small rotary cutter to cut the retro flowers?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oooh, what a lot of flowers, you must be nearly at a quilt...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Blimey, what do you make in a productive month?!!

    ReplyDelete

  31. What an amazing month you've had! Your retro blocks are looking just amazing. I'm still scared of the one little one I have to make and you're whipping them out!
