I had a grand plan for July, which was to make a block a day and write a post a day with it; as I have done the other odd time when I wanted to focus on block-making and blogging.
So what happened —
July 1st - YES I finished a block (which only needed a few seams sewn to finish it off) —
(Tilda Memory Lane project which I will talk about another time)
But with kids, work, supermarket and so on, a blog post didn't happen!
July 2nd was surely going to be my catch up day and a chance to get started on my mission.
A block got completed —
Omigosh! block. For the quilt by Sue Garman. It's a while since I've made any of these but now that I have finished making my 36-patch scrappy blocks (see *here*) I have a pile of 1" strips that need attention.
But with kids, the farm and a power cut, a blog post didn't happen!
July 3rd was to be the day to properly start on this mission. We did have kids and more kids during the day but later on, the time was my own so I sewed up my block(s).
(More Tilda Memory Lane blocks)
Then the hills called and I spent the last hour of daylight walking!
Today is the 4th and I am determined today will be the day to properly start this mission.
Today's block(s) —
I'm also signing up to Patty's One Monthly Goal. I haven't joined in for a while but this month I'd really like to get my Bears and Bears Paw quilt finished. I don't believe I have shared a photo of the finished top. Here it is —
This pattern is by Sew Fresh Quilts. I'm excited to get it completed and into the post for its recipient!
I have had a slow start to the month but hopefully it's onwards and upwards now 😀
'til next time,
happy stitches,
LOL Sometimes life just comes along and gets in the way.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks and you bears quilt all look great.

Life gets in the way at times. Love your bear/bear paw quilt.
ReplyDeleteI always marvel that you get as much done as you do, with all you have going on in your life on a regular basis. Love the sound of hiking the last hour of daylight. I take in the last half hour by walking our country roads. Hubby thinks I take the last 10 minutes of daylight and the first 20 minutes of darkness.
ReplyDeleteThe Bear quilt is adorable. Someone will be thrilled to receive that!
I was switching out quilts around the house today, and the one I got from you in our swap went out on the table again. Love it there. It is a treasure.
The bear top is so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the bear quilt Raewyn. Your blocks are all lovely, sometimes life just gets in the way of plans doesn't it! Great time of the day for a wander, is that Emma dog with you?
ReplyDeleteWell, you are here now and a lovely catch up with your first four blocks. The bears paw quilt is a great finish. xx
ReplyDeleteWell a post a week would be ok to post all 7 blocks…..
