Blogstipation

Ever had that. You know you need to do something but the thought and the action do not come together? I often have that with house work....I have the thought and then immediately I practice my therapy....quilting of course.

I have not worked for the whole month of September. Time off is great but the pay sucks!! I am now feeling well enough to return to the job, just need to make the phone call!!

I have been busy sewing, nothing to specific, just sewing. I made a Ricky Timms' convergence quilt yesterday, using some of the batiks I got in Bathurst. It is only a small section 28 x 36" and I want it bigger so I will play with my EQ to work something out.



I also make the batik cats last month, I really enjoyed making them.

Two lap quilts also made, one is a snowball/9patch (see August posting) and the other a disappearing 9 patch. Made the top when I went down to Fairbridge with the girls at the beginning of September.
I love the butterfly material and I think that if it were for sale I could of sold yards of it, the amount of ladies that commented on it. I almost don't want to give it away!!! We will see. After all we don't need THAT many quilts in the house, do we???!

The kids and I made sock monkeys on Thursday. One of the weekly magazines had a pattern for them, so now we have monkeys in the house!!! I might even get the kids in a picture with the monkeys and send it in to the magazine.
Have also made these 3 kimonos to go into a wall hanging, when I can get motivated enough to finish them.

School returns tomorrow for the kids, I am looking forward to a quiet day and they are looking forward to seeing their friends.
