We've had the May half term break in England this week, which is all very bizarre as it was in June, not May, and we longer have three school terms (where this break would be half way through term 3, hence its name of half term holidays) but we now have 6 terms, so this is just a break between terms 5 and 6 - go figure, answers on a postcard please!
Anyway, whatever we call it, and whenever it is, I have managed some sewing, in amongst everything else I've tried to squeeze in!
This I spy quilt has been made for baby Amelie, and I'm trying to get her name embroidered before I go and see Grandma this afternoon
These two 'Endless Ribbon' quilts have been finished for the Siblings Together Charity, and need a final 'haircut' before being sent off
This has been finished for Laura's 18th . . .
and I actually remembered to add a label too
Apart from that I have taught the final Windsor A to Z class (these are the blocks that have either been finished, or were snapped under construction)
Had a lovely (albeit wet) day with Lisa in London (!)
and I have thoroughly enjoyed all the pomp and ceremony that celebrated the Diamond Jubilee.
To follow: a felting day with Jacqui and Sarah, a kid's activity afternoon at Chertsey Museum, creating junk weaving wall art, Crafty Church afternoon, socialising with two groups of friends, and a day with mum . . . followed by going back to work for a rest!!!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Hi Benta! How they have mixed those holidays ... do you still have a long 'summer holiday'? Stripe quilts are fantastic! x Teje
