Fresh Sewing Day

I started the month off really well on a short holiday to the German isle of Langeoog and I enjoyed the sallowthorn cake.


Back home I went on to sew this one for Siblings Together (nearly finished now)


I made this one, as my first commission and wrote the pattern for it (with help from 2 quilt friends!)


I joined the Potholder Swap (no 11!) was struggeling with the yin and yang potholder idea I had and will be working on that this month.


Instead I made these, which are more in line with the SUMMER theme:


I've caught the Granny Squares bug, but my solid is not white (which I would smudge during sewing, I suppose) but a soft green.


I haven't been (wasting time) weeding, and I've been enjoying time with Angus, our puppy of nearly 8 months now.


For next month I'm going to make a start with City Harbor for a dear friend.
And then, there's another dear friend waiting for a quilt too.
So .... busy, busy, busy.

Till next time, have fun sewing!
