Finished Quilts

Where did July go?

I think I must have blinked and missed it!  It has been such an unproductive month sewing wise for me that I wasn't going to link up with Lynne's Fresh Sewing Day this month but I had a change of heart.  Starting back at work after 10 month's maternity leave, dealing with poorly boys, visiting family and Wimbledon/Olympic distractions have all called on my time this month but I'm hoping to get my rhythm back soon so as a spur I looked through and saw that I made a few things....


Mostly bags, b-day gifts and swap/bee makes this month.  I have been beavering away at hand quilting the Sparkler but that is slow going.

Although I am not feeling so bad about the limited productivity this past month, I do feel a little upset about my lack of commenting on the blogs I have been reading.  Time is alluding me at the moment and so I'm sorry for not keeping in touch as much as I have been.  Due to the vagaries of accruing annual leave whilst on mat leave, I need to take 4 weeks holiday before the end of August and so I have a month of sewing (and blog hopping) planned.  I'm quite excited about that :)  And if I can even touch the hemline of Lucy in terms of her current productivity and its quality, I'll be well chuffed.
