May 2026

 The time is whizzing past again and we find ourselves in June.  The heat has been a *little* out of my comfort zone, but I did do some making:

The Chertsey ladies made these woven bowls (thanks Plum)

Two lovely lads did a great job on the last chunk of garden finishing my courtyard

We added new garden furniture and a recycled shed for the cushions.

The Tula Pink giant hexie flimsy was finally finished, and has gone to Sharon to be layered and quilted . . .

. . . which meant I could start on a batik FQ pack she gave me last year.  This is going to be a hand-sewing-on-holiday patchwork, and luckily I was away first with colleagues from over 30 years ago

Half square triangles, 

Flying geese

and 1/4 circle of flying geese

I also took along a sewing project for them to make a vinyl pouch - all completed

A few Gingers for various National days: nurses

bee keepers,

and National Smile month

One of my bonus daughters had a baby boy, so James needed a quilt

Then I went away on holiday again!  I went to Croatia with friends from the girls' primary school.  We all had children in the same 3 or 3 school years, and we all worked as teaching assistants at the school.  It was hot outside, but cool in the house so I had time for sewing alongside the chatting!

Mixed EPP hexies

New York Beauty block

EPP plus blocks

and beach huts

No holidays now until September, so there might be some at-home-in-front-of-the-TV sewing.  I'm not really sure where it's going, but I'm loving the colours!

Keep cool
