Easter's (Nearly) Over

One of the major advantages of working in a school is the school holidays. For everyone else Easter was over and done with nearly two weeks ago, but I'm clinging to the last few hours before 'Easter holidays' becomes a normal working week!

So what have I been sewing?

I pieced and machine bound this quilt (it's twin was only finished 11 months ago!!!)

I attached the blue plus blocks to a fleece, and having mucked up the centering was driven mad by it's not-quite-symmetrical ness

And had to chop a bit off one side and the bottom

I made some little project bags to be sold at Richmond and Kew quilters exhibition in the autumn,

I made a sample tote bag for a customer,

 and a trial version which will hopefully lead to a whole load that I'm hoping to sell

    Beautiful makes. I especially love that red and white quilt and the bag with the birds. It's a shame you have to go School at all but you still manage to make the equivalent of half a dozen ordinary bloggers :)

    Busy, busy, busy! Sounds like you'll be going back to work for a rest (oh, if only that was true!). Lovely stuff as ever, and it made me laugh that you had to chop the quilt to make it even - I would have had to too! xx
