I'm into the second week of the holidays and it is just flying by. The days have been filled with taking my mum to appointments, some play time with our little princess and a little time with sewing friends too. I wish there were a few more weeks to do everything I want to do!
Crafting has featured heavily and I am enjoying all my projects. Started some new ones and planning some future ones too. Bliss!
Completed and sewed on the first border for my Basket case quilt. The corner blocks for the next border are ready to go and the first one is prepped for stitching.
My farm sweet farm was quilted by Jemima's and is just waiting for the binding.
I may not have chosen wisely with the quilting but I still love it. It doesn't look as busy in real life.
Needing a carry around project while waiting for mum at her appointments I took the plunge with these hexies. I purchased them on line from a lady that sells them already basted. Winner, winner.
They have been hidden in a tin for months but now is their turn to make an appearance too.
Some 9 patch blocks have been put together and they are looking very pretty
Okehampton needs to be taken to Leanne's for quilting but I realised I hadn't taken out the basting threads on the clamshells, I am slowly pulling them out.
A work colleague has requested a monster quilt so I have made a start. The pattern will be made slightly differently to the version I am doing for myself. No chore making these monsters they are so much fun.

I can always tell how much you enjoy the time on holiday.... I wonder if the leaning towards the Tilda's has anything to do with having a princess around? Beautiful quilts, I think youir quilted one is lovely.... I love the texture and feel of lines and the modern look.... you know i adore your monsters...

So many wonderful projects on the go there Marina. That little monster is very cute, your new fabric looks wonderful as do your blocks and hexies, great idea to get them ready to sew together. Your Basket quilt looks lovely, the Farm too and your flower block is stunning. Seems like you need a four week holiday to get a good go at your projects!
