Finished Quilts

hobbercrapt

We're back from a week on the Isle of Wight.  A mixed bag weather wise, but the wee man LOVED jumping in the sea no matter the weather.  He also loved asking "what's that?" about a million times a day, imitating the sat nav (turn right daddy) and his new favourite word is hovercraft so he had a grand time.

dig, dig, digging
I'm not so much of a beach person and this was as exposed as I got...

exposed (c)ankles .... oh the shame!
I was left minding the bags and other gubbings whilst the boys went wave jumping so took the time to produce a mahoosive list of everything I wanted get done (sewing wise) by the end of the year. I'll write it up this week but I'll have to revise it already cos when I got home this was waiting for me....

all the way from the USA
A big box of QATWII bee blocks to add to the list - I now have 5 sets of blocks to do in the next week or so.  I've mentioned this bee before - I love it.  The lady that sends the blocks to me has gone AWOL unfortunately and she has a load more blocks so we're currently bypassing her and starting some blocks from scratch again.  There's a chance that we may need to do some angel blocks too.  I do hope she's ok - she's quite lovely and it's not really like her to not get in touch. 

Anyway, back to work this week for today #ouch, then hospital tomorrow for a wisdom tooth extraction #ouchx2 and the Festival of Quilts on Thursday #oppositeofouch.  And inbetween.... a Chinese laundry impersonation and a bee block frenzy!

Tally ho!

    Sounds like you had a relaxing time on your hols. Sadly I'm not going to be able to make FoQ this year. Hope your tooth extraction doesn't detract from your day there.
