February makes

Today I am linking up with Lily's Quilts for Fresh Sewing Day. I think that every month goes round really quickly, but February especially so, as it is a shorter month and has the school half term smack in the middle of it. So what did I make this month…

My biggest make was a quilt for my Elder Son's 18th birthday. We had a family party and then ES had friends around for a meal and also went out for a meal with another set of friends. We were all pleased when half term arrived as we were all partied out!

I also made my bee blocks (and received blocks as I was Queenie of the hipBees).

It was my blogging anniversary and I decided to make a triple zippy purse for a giveaway. In fact I have really enjoyed making these little pouches, especially the QAYG version. In February I made three. I think that these pouches are finally out of my system!

Finally I made a little mat out of scraps that was started at the January's Stitching it Together gathering at Tanya's. I also got down to completing a QAYG tote for a dear bloggy friend, Liz.

So that is my sewing line up for February 2013. When I look back on what I have accomplished I am pretty pleased with what I have made.

This weekend is going to be busy as Trudi and I are going to drive down to Kent tonight in  order to meet up with her Brit bee. I think that it is fair to say that there will be a lot of  chatting and eating going on. We also have a family friend staying with us over the weekend so I think that I should go and start getting things organised before I leave my family tonight!
