Fresh Sewing Day (August 2012)

I am linking up with Fresh Sewing Day at Lily's Quilts for a round up of August 2012 in the sewing department. For me, August was about completing projects and not starting anything new. I finished three quilt tops and have pressed on with quilting one, so that I can give it to my parents as a golden wedding anniversary present. The only other things that I made were a pouch for my partner in the BQS3 and my first block for the hipBees. Our queen bee (Reene) asked for house blocks and supplied us all with some very nice Summersville fabric.
August 2012 - round up
The middle bottom photo is just to remind me that part of the fun of blogging is to meet up with bloggy friends too. I had the pleasure of spending a fun day with Sarah & Catherine during the month.

So as the summer draws to a close, with schools returning this week, perhaps I will be able to fit in a little more sewing into the rhythm of life.

  5. August is a tough month isn't it, being in the UK for a week and then away at the end, no time really for sewing... September is usually busy for me too. I love the anniversary quilt, how are you quilting it ?
