It’s catch up time again…Long time since I’ve posted about what I’ve been up to in the sewing room.

Usually, I don’t spend much time in the sewing room over summer, but, since this has been our summer:I have spent a fair amount of leisure time crafting.

Mostly, I’ve been working on some redwork, namely Bronwyn Hayes’ The Wish Quilt from Homespun magazine (vols 9.7 -9.9). Here are the blocks that I’ve completed so far:And currently working on this block:I am really enjoying these blocks, and I really enjoy the magazine. I am subscribed to both Homespun and Country Threads. It’s always a treat when these mags  publish Bronwyn Hayes’ patterns.

I needed to fill a vacant spot on the kitchen wall, so I whipped up this folk art wall hanging. The pattern was for needle turned applique, but I used the fused method. I compensated by hand quilting it.

Finished this trio:

With regards to the TB Lovers2 internet group, I  finished and mailed off my August lottery block:It was oh, so nice and easy, And, I completed block #8 for the Thimbleberries BOM, from Nancy Rink designs:

I finished these socks:

I started this lacy scarf:

Outside, well, even with the bummer of a summer things are blooming:

Here’s Kiwi saying ta-ta for now…Like her haircut??
