September Makes
It's October!! This makes me very very happy indeed as it means temperatures are almost guaranteed to cool.
With Zaki back at pre-school, productivity definitely increased this month and my favourite part was finishing my Lark quilt. There was also the usual bee blocks, some EPP hexies and bunting!
October should bring a couple of new quilt tops (including my mum's), a tote bag for Mouthy Stitches 2 and more bee blocks including some for me!
Linking up with Lynne at Fresh Sewing Day and Catherine at Knotted Cotton.

How many comebacks are you allowed in blogland? I've been a slow blogger and have blogged and read blogs only very sporadically since mid May - a whopping 4 months ago! I keep saying 'I'm back' and then promptly disappear from the radar. Just call me the comeback kid. So I shall say sorry for the last time and promise to be better for the last time as I have joined Catherine's Slow Blogger movement here. You can see the button just over there.
Being away has made me appreciate time away from the computer as much as time on it. As Catherine's manifesto says, I shall blog if I make something but I won't make something so I can blog. Yes, I have been guilty of that. But no more. The good thing about being a slow blogger is that you can come and go, so if I get my rhythm back, I may become a fast blogger. Who knows?
To get me back in to the swing of things, I joined a swap (that thud was my mother's head hitting the table)!
I has sworn off swaps and had promised not to join but then...I...just...did. Yes, those swap mamas Susan, Hadley and Cindy are up to their old tricks and have started a new round of Mouthy Stitches and this time we're making a tote bag for our secret partner. So up there, that's my inspiration mosaic. It didn't take long to do as they were all in my flickr favourites. I love those cool greens and blues and choosing them is clearly a reaction to the stonkingly hot summer we have endured here.
So bring it on and mum? I promise your quilt will be made. Honestly. All my followers will vouch for me...won't you?
