Work (and other 4 letter words)

I know plenty of people didn't get two weeks off over Christmas and New Year, and I know I'll (mostly) enjoy work when I get back, but . . .  really, do I have to go back tomorrow?

I've had a lovely sewing time!  As well as the stuff I showed on 27th, 28th and 29th December . . .

 I also have these three iSpy quilts now ready to bind and finish for a customer:




And I have a  new bag for my travel ironing board (for classes): thanks to the amazing Bag Lady,  Liz for the straps lesson

And I have another iSpy, this time as staggered bricks using the off cuts from the larger squares, which will sit and wait until a baby needs it

And I have this zigzag quilt which has been waiting patiently for ages to be bound:  I was peeved because two deliveries of Kona Cornflower came as two different shades and I didn't realise until too late, but I had to chuck it or complete it, so I choose the 'complete' option!

  3. shame having to go back to work, how I like retirement! Some lovely quilts here you have been very productive. I have lots of fabrics bought on a whim, half metres mostly and I think they will work well with I spy so maybe I will add them to my 2105 list I am making

  6. It's a shame about the Kona Cornflower, but, at first glance, I didn't actually realise it wasn't meant to look like that until I read it. It looks like you've been super productive in your time off. I'm sure you will quickly get back into your work/sewing groove.
