However it did mean frantic uniform and bag sorting, the girls are back to school tomorrow and dear son starts his new school on Friday and I go back to work. I now have a pile of new uniform to label tonight, but I can cope with that.
I did, in the midst of this, get my September bee blocks made for new girl in the Stitch Tease Bee, Nicky.
Set the fun task of making a couple of blocks inspired by the Alhambra Palace for a predominately orange sampler-style quilt; I searched out a couple of images of tiles that took my fancy. The results are, even if I do say so myself, rather pleasing!
I have a rather long list of things I must do, and would like to do this month; I am hoping to get the balance right, as I am all too aware that all work and no play is going to make me one very dull (and grumpy) girl.
Those blocks are a great use of your time off.They're lovely and very "Alhambra-esk"!
ReplyDeleteYou did good on the bee blocks. They are on my list of things to do tomorrow. I would love to be ahead of the game with both bees done for a change, rather than scrambling to catch up.
ReplyDeleteI love Nicky's idea and you did a great job interpreting it into two fab blocks.
ReplyDeleteFloors are great inspiration for quilts! Hope school,started ok for all
ReplyDeleteI've only just come across this - I am such a convert to IG I forget to look at blogs! I love these and you did such a brilliant job for me. I have all the blocks on my design wall waiting to be pieced together - they really cheer up my day
