Hello Everyone. It is after the summer and it seems to be "back to it" after the summer boom. If the seasons and their various levels of busyness were described in economic terms then the summer would be a boom and the winter a recession (where we get cozy and use everything we gathered in the boom)
This summer was a busy one for sure! we renovated our house, sold said house, bought a larger house, planned a wedding and got married at the larger house aannnd now we are heading to the UK in two weeks.
I have managed to carve out time to get in the sewing room, I now have a sewing room!!! i am soooo loving it so far!
I have almost finished up the piecing for this quilt for a client. it is the first in a series of three. The three do not look alike one being a swoon quilt and the other a bird quilt.
The lady I am making the quilts for made me some hand made cold pressed custom scented soaps. soooo yummy. every time i shower it smells milky and real, not chemicalyy and perfumy! thank you Rebecca!
This weekend is harvesting the garden before we go to England! Linking to Finished or not Fridays , Off the Wall Friday , and Can I get a Whoop Whoop , Needle and Thread Thursday
Until next time,
Stay lovely
Sarah

Hi Erin! The summer has been soo crazy busy, even the fall seems to be pretty busy. We are trying to get the garden harvested and the pool shut down before we go away. The HST's weren't too bad and in a full confession I have been working on this one for about 9 months. Thank you for the wishes for England, I am so excited to go and have some quiet time in the countryside with my Granny. <3
DeleteGoodness, you have had a busy time! Congrats on getting married! Loving all your purple HSTs, how big are they?
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, Thanks! everyone keeps asking how married life is.... lol Its the same. I think the HST's are 3.5" finished. The Quilt will be a twin size.
