So! Whats been happening in August? Im chuffed I've been keeping up with my Pages read tracker, i was worried that I might read roughly the same every day so it might look boring but there's enough difference i think.
August is of course FOQ month and yes im sad to have missed it again but i do have wonderful chums who make sure i dont feel left out
The phenology wheel is filling up, this is such a nice quick thing to do every month, im loving how it turns out
I had to include my favourite mug 🤣
Oh now .... this is a little bit exciting 🎉 I've slowly been working away at finishing my tiny 9 patch quilt, the top was done before long covid so I've added borders sent it to Cath for long arming and now managed to put binding on 🎉 we just need my energy levels, Mark's availability and the weather to cooperate and ill get a picture over the balcony 🎉
Im on a mission to finish off a load of embroideries i have, they either go in hoops or get made into mini quilts, this is the binding fir a Christmas cross stitch I did last year
This is my "Fresh out of" corner 🤣🤣 i found these nifty little round hoop stands on etsy great for displaying cross stitch hoops
A new start for autumn 🍂 this kit has been waiting a while and now feels absolutely the right time to start it, its a joy to work with the feltvis beautiful as are the threads
Im mostly finished the hexagons fir my hollygon wreath just need to decide what beads etc to add and then sew together
Here's the first leaf from the kit
Last but not least I've been to a fabric shop again! A chum was coming down from Aberdeenshire on a bus trip so Mark took me across, it was so lovely i got hugs from Shirley and Carol chatted to all the ladies it was glorious, of course fabric had to be bought 🤣🤣 im loving this Kaffe recolouring of William Morris collection
Last but not least my siblings blocks for August ✅️
And that's a wrap! Thanks as ever to Archie the wonder dog for hosting the furtle
