Oh my goodness November has been a busy busy month! Where to start? OK this is my progress on the solstice sampler from Alderwood studio. Some deceptively simple looking blocks have bee quite challenging but I'm loving it. Using up quite a lot of meter age of tilda for the background.
Omg!!!! This got done 😊😊 this was on a fettle list a sticky prod along list so *phew* for this finish 😆😆 it's my temperature embroideries from 2021, mixes up with mandalas from the series Carina ran that year plus some other embroideries I made that year including some sashiko panels. I used the booklet pouch pattern from Aneela Hoey as a base for the book, also used up some left over indigo fabric I had. To say I love this is an understatement.
Oh this happened, I wrote more.about this but it was such a special day. Got to meet my old boss and get his book signed.
I am back on the dear Jane wagon! I found a new sewing group which meets throughout the week. I decided blossom Jane would be the project I take there. So steady progress from now on.
We miss our dear chum Jo who moved back to England last year but she is only a car drive away so we go visit!
Her modern quilt guild meet in an art gallery!
I started and finished the.mini series! Loved making these all in Lucy engels fabric. Going to make them into a tub I think.

Oooohhhh now then, this is my fabric pull for this years sewcialities sew along. I vividly remember last year looking at it and wishing I could take part but was too caught up in work. This year I can do it so let's get a wiggle on!

The last two dear Jane blocks I made!
I.made a Xmas wreath! I also now have a new Xmas tradition 😊 wreath making with lovely Kim! It was a fab class must write it up. Love it !
Oh now I am so hopeful that this is a finish in the final further of the year!!! My celtic wheel of the year sampler by Carina craft blog. I have adored making this one. It has seen me.through some troubling times this past year and kept on giving me hope.
And thats it for November I think its safe to say I am really settling into retirement now 😊
Isn’t it amazing how much more time (and energy) you have now work isn’t getting in the way of sewing and meeting chums and gallivanting?! I love how you finished your 2021 temperature embroideries and all those new blocks are gorgeous! Hooray for finishes *waves pompoms* Thanks for Furtling!
