August Furtle

 Well ..... august has been a heck of a month!!!! so much so so much happening. Some pretty big stuff too! So, where to start? I have just dumped photos in here so lets just pick them off, I made a bit more progress with my wheel of the year from Carina Craftblog on insta. Im loving this project and now i am retired ... (I know I kept that quiet!) I hope to get more up to date with it.


gosh thats not a very good photo is it! my retirement flowers

I am sensing a theme here in retirement presents!

Last day at work a red lippy day!

I made a pandamonium bag! for a lovely chums 50th, loved making this with the cork bottom

Zippers from Purple stitches, loved these at FOQ

All Tula! even inside


OK yes I went to FOQ! but I still also bought online .... welll doughtys wasnt there and they had a fab offer on liberty quilting cotton, it would have been rude not too!

Talking of FOQ ... I havent done a round up post but here are some purchases, I went a bit bonkers but hey its been 3 years!











I bought these after a fab catch up with Jane - twowednesdays
 she had been to a class and loved making them




I was on a PLANE!!!! first time in almost 3 years ..... blimey but it was fine


Naturally had to check out the gin n fizz bar! it was up to scratch!

Got this top put together! just needs quilting now, this is going to Alice Caroline SOS

I dusted of my Dear Jane quilt, I just need to commit to this and get on with it!!!

I used this quilt in my retirement speech, only the top is done but it was a great speech even if I say so myself!

We added a new chum to the sewing room! Meet Freddie! He is from the same stable as anxious Panda who loves having a new chum, welcome Freddie!
