So after a couple of weeks where I couldn't seem to do anything BUT quilt, now I can't bring myself to do any actual quiltingy things. Which is a problem, because I have the September Aussie Handmade Birthday gift to make, two Supernova Swap Blocks, the Secret MakeModernMagazine project, and heaven knows what else!
Work is busy, I have writing things due, and my brain is all HOUSE GARDEN HOUSE GARDEN HOUSE GARDEN right now, which isn't exactly condusive to quilting brain.
Incidentally, if you keep chickens in suburbia (or urbia, really) I'd love to hear your experiences. My 'house and garden' blog is over here: The Suburban Permaculture Garden.
WIPs
Passacaglia
Another rosette done! Sewing it onto the main section this weekend with the Sydney MQG gang...
Supernova Swap
I've cut out the pieces, and will be putting them together over the weekend. Maybe. Probably. If I can brain. Ugh.
No Movement
Everything else. Seriously, everything else.
BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY
The winner of the Birthday Giveaway was Heather of Swing Station!
Her parcel will be winging its way out to her as of tomorrow when I get out to the post office.
Aussie Handmade Birthday Club!
I joined one of the Aussie Handmade Birthday Clubs - 12 people, and each one is assigned a birthday month. During your birthday month you're sent handmade gifts from other people in the swap club.
And my birthday month was August!
Several have already arrived!
Now I have to think of what to make for the September Birthday Girl!

So what have you been doing this week? Have you linked up to Freshly Pieced?
Your rosette is a beautiful design.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Not my design, though - just my execution!
DeleteLove your Passacaglia rosette - I am really thinking of starting this too :)
ReplyDeleteYou should! The more the merrier! (Or madder! ;))
DeleteHappy birthday month - love the swap idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It wasn't my idea, it was sewsforshoes on Instagram who put the idea together and arranged three Australian swap bees (which are being heaps of fun right now).
DeleteLove the birthday quilt swap. Great idea
ReplyDeleteThank you! The Handmade Birthday Gift idea wasn't mine, though - that honour belongs to sewsforshoes on Instagram. But it is rather fun - and I'm making friends through it, too, which is always nice!
