This weekend I fulfilled my January Bee commitments. I like that feeling of being up to date.
Firstly I made the next instalment of this year's Brit Bee quilt. In December/January we were/are all making the block designed by Jo, and I was making for the lovely Jude.
This was a challenge of a block as you can see! It, as with all the Brit Bee blocks, measures up at 15(.5)" x 30(.5)", and thankfully mine worked out that way.
As an aside, I have one of those appliqué flowers sitting awaiting completion for my My Small World, which has been sat neglected next to the sofa all Christmas; however I got all 6 of these stitched on Saturday afternoon! I will finally get mine sewn tomorrow, that's my plan!
The brain-ache block finished, I set to Susan's blocks for Stitch Tease. More of a challenge in the fabric pulling department, jewel-toned, tone-on-tone, no white, wonky log cabins with a navy 'log' in each block. I think I managed it…
So that's me up to date with everyone.
Tomorrow, (daytime), I am going to shut myself off from the stresses of school re-organisation, work relocation and all the stuff and nonsense that has begun to fill my days, and try to crack on with some of my WIP sewing. I'll hopefully get everything into some order to write a FAL post to keep me on track, (ahem).
Tomorrow evening I will back on the campaign trail, a meeting at dear son's school with the Council which has the makings of being rather lively! So don't wait up xxx

Crosspatch!
I know I may have been coming over a bit distant, with all the short blogposts and minimal commenting. My response rate to emails has been shocking also, but please it is nothing personal!
Keeping up with everything has been a bit of a juggling act of late, but it's all good. I even got a bit of sewing in on the weekend, and no-one complained, starved or got lost!
Here are the blocks I whipped up for Cindy's round of Stitch Tease…
Oh too much sunshine!
Bright crosses on LV background to make an 11 3/4" block - yep there may have been a panicky moment when I measured the assumed 12 1/2" blocks at the end!!
I also finished up some more secret sewing today, and tomorrow will see me finish up the #IGminiswap extras, and be free to crack on with my Betsy Travel Bag - woo hoo!!!
