Things Can Only Get better...

Subtitled - where would we be without Ikea blue bags?

I did think about running a linky to see if anyone could beat my mess but didn't want to show you all up....


Yes, this is my sewing room, with only a few days to go until this year's Open Day - I still have to collect quilts from 3 more classes.............BUT, in the midst of what looks like chaos, I managed to sort, catalogue & number all exhibits today. I also got my info notices all printed. I am up to date with bookings for next session so the obvious thing to do was fire up the sewing machine and make my  March blocks for Judith's Bee Blessed.
These are  clever twists on a well known block  (Monkey Wrench) and Monica of the Happy Zombie, has produced really clear instructions and a great table of cutting sizes for 5 different sized blocks. And each set produces two Funky Wrench blocks, one Nut & one Bolt.


I also managed to finish cutting for Jan's blocks in this month's Bee A Brit Stingy. Jan has chosen Road to Tennessee blocks, I made these last month for Bee Blessed and was thrilled to be cutting another 64 x 2" squares........they will make a fabulous quilt though and an obvious Bee choice as I think trying to make a whole quilt of these would drive you to despair. I got the said wee squares chain pieced onto the bigger squares before a small person took over my day.
All in all, much to be happy about.

    I can't believe that it is time for another Open Day. Where did the year go to? I loved making the monkey wrench blocks but those Tennessee blocks almost made me loose the will to live! Di c

    Oh I so wish I had taken a before photo of my sewing room. You would have been "proud" or at least relieved that yours isn't so bad.
    Good luck with cutting more 2" squares!!!!!!
    Your March blocks look great.

    Such productive busyness! Great sunshine in that window...but where are your hoards of fabric?
    Such even Funky wrenches.....but best part is the thought of cuddles with Ava. Yum.

    Hope the Open Day goes well - it'll be a relief to get all those bags out of the house, I'm sure!
