Hello October...

Farewell September, you were perhaps the saddest month I have ever known.

So linking up with Fresh Sewing Day...
Lily's Quilts
I don't have masses to show, half of these were completed in the first week, which is probably why I don't feel I got a lot made.


The Hug quilt arrived safely with my sister and brother-in-law last week, and that's all that matters.

The brightest hours were spent in the company of friends stitching with Aneela; and the relief of finishing my secret Stitch Tease block, a month over-due, means I can move forward, needle in hand, with a weight off my shoulders.

And so to October - today sees the start of the Scrappy Stash Quilt-Along Blog Hop - I'll let fabulous Jennifer of Ellison Lane Quilts explain...

  15. PS I've got to stop spending so much time on blogs, so as you have [Goggle Plus] there will be times when I hit that rather than actually comment. The + will translate as " I came, I read, I had to dash, but I did enjoy the visit". I hope you're ok with this, and obviously understand when you do the same :-)

  22. I have held you in a virtual hug all month long. The toughest part must be being so far from your sister. Just having had my brother here this last week has been such a joy. There should be a law that families cannot live further than a few hours from each other! Hoping October will bring you joy.
