Today was one of the warmest, sunniest days we've had so far this year.
Not only was it the Wimbledon Men's final (commisserations Rafa!), but it was a true summers day.

| Having fun in the sun! With a sprinkler!! |
I got my sewing machine back from the shop yesterday, but didn't get near it until today.
Who would have thought that a teeny clump of lint could cause such a noise (and I do clean my machine regularly Mr Sewing Machine Fix It Man, honest I do!).
I'm way behind in the Kaleidoscope QAL being hosted by the lovely Elizabeth of Don't Call Me Betsy. It's lovely seeing everyone's designs coming together over on flickr, and I haven't posted a single photo there yet!
At least I've chosen my fabrics. This is the stash I'm going to eat into to.

| I'm sure I won't need all of these but I like to keep my options open! |
Today I made some headway in the cutting, lots and lots of cutting. 120 triangles, 240 kaliedoscope sections!
And I've also finally got a design sorted. This will be a quilt for my youngest, who is passionate about the colour green, but I'm sneaking in some pink there too! Hope she doesn't mind.
I hope to start piecing soon and then I'll show you some pics.
I have also been sewing more on my lounge cushions (12 fronts and backs = 6 cushions) but will show you pics when I've completed them.
The wadding is ordered for Crazy Daughter Quilt, the blocks have been sourced for Miss July's Brit Bee Blocks and I have a tonne of teaching notes to write for up coming classes.
All this with my 3 children off school and looking to yours truly to start chanting 'Let Me Entertain You!'! Don't hold your breath!
Anyone fancy being my P.A? I could really do with one!!
Sounds like loads of fun, playing with kids, water fights, and sewing (maybe not at the exact same moment)!
ReplyDeleteI'll send you my CV!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your kaleidoscope fabrics! I haven't unfolded my fabrics for it yet and feel slightly overawed by all that cutting! Look forward to seeing your progress.
