Septembers furtle

1Right september lets be having you, line up in nice reverse chronological order Ta very much.
WHAT A MONTH!!!! OMG so full of sewing and quilty goodness, lets start with yesterday. Well the whole weekend actually! Edinburgh Modern Quilt guild organised a weekend clss with Jenny Haynes, Pappersaxsten. OMG how fab. We were making her cogs and thistles quilt. Totally amazing. and WHAT a fabulous teacher. So attentive and worked so hard, every minute she was on the job. From the minute the class started to the minute it ended she was totally dedicated to looking after us all. What a star.
I had great table mates too, Lovely Helen and Barbara and Lesley from the borders. With Margaret and Ursula in banter distance :-)
 Sheena didnt get on the class so she organised an improv class with Jenny on the Thursday night. I made a twig, I am ridiculously delighted with my twig!
 My main cog, loved using up my batiks, plus a sweet little background fabric i got as a bargain at the FOQ.

 Look who came along!!! he was so well behaved and soopervised me reely well!




 So much love for this lady! , and her quilts ..... OMG
 The new venue for the Edinburgh modern quilt guild, Inch house, fabulous venue, lovely staff.
 awwwww, mini mini bud caught up with his Aunty Cat!

 And Kippa! Aunty Cat always has the best shoes!


 Oh yes, this got done! OMCOC done entirely in Lucy Engles fabric!
 This is all i have left of my collection of Lucys fabric! Ive been collecting since she first started printing ... yup, i wont lie. Cutting into this bunch was very hard!
 The cream fabric is one of the very first Lucy ever made
 Ditto pink at the bottom
 Right what else?? I went to the Region 16 area day. Dawn Cameron Dick gave the first talk, really enjoyed this.

Oh her basket of flowers quilts for her late aunt, what a sad story.


 My Scoobs was away for 4 weeks, I may have been over excited to have him back :-)

 But I put him straight to work holding quilts! these three are off to Alice Caroline for their 2019 quiltSOS
 Not really crafty related but this is my chum Andy, me him and Jacky go out several times a year. Andy doesnt do social media so i have no pictures of us together, hes a good chum.
Budsmam over and out for september.
