This past month was a whirlwind! I was away for two full weeks but managed to do a tiny bit of embroidery while away -- but it still made for a manic month of sewing when I came home! As soon as I got back I had to colelct Mr Toyota from the sewing machine doctor and spa. He arrived back a much happier sewing machine! In August, I mainly worked on bee blocks, my Vintage Holiday quilt and getting a few WiP's and UFO's crossed off my list(s). I went to the Festival of Quilts, met Tula Pink, got a cheeky photo with Kaffe Fassett (he wasn't amused), won a prize in the Pets on Quilts competition and won a prize for my Snowman Journal from Sew Festive - yay for me!!! All in all it was a fun month sewing and even meeting up with quilty-bloggy friends and their four-legged best friends!Here is a mosaic of all the things I made in August (but not my completed WiP's):
My six finished items:
My favourite item of the month had to be my 'Shaggy Texty Tree' block that I entered into Texting While Sewing competition on During Quiet Time. It was a blast to sew up and though it didn't make the prize category, I received a handful of really positive comments and that made me smile and I appreciate each and every comment -THANK YOU! As many of you know, my confidence is not high so lovely comments like those are magic to me. Here is the block I'm referring to:
The other highlight of August was the amazing response to my Quilting Gallery Blog Hop giveaway! Thank you for sharing where you blog and/or what your favourite blog to read is - I can't wait to check them all out!
Have a great September everyone!!!
