Those are my main projects for August. The ferris wheels are actually a hold over from July but oh well. I am still finishing another bag and making a tutorial for Cindy at Fluffy Sheep Quilting's newsletter.
That is my first take on the back for the Windmills and Trees quilt. I am going to rip off all the sashing and make more improv blocks - soon I hope - as this version just does not work for me.
August was also filled with jam making, that is a pot of blackberry jam in progress. I made 52 jars of different sizes - blackberry, plum and fig.
And we said good by to the Salish Sea - or you might know her as the Pacific Ocean - and headed home to the City, where work has engulfed me. But I will find a balance soon.
In the meantime, some friends are quilting along with me to make a Mod Pop. Come and join us if you like, we are moving slowly and I hope will have some fun along the way.
I am linking to Lynne at Lily's Quilts Fresh Sewing Day. Do go and see what everyone else has been up to.
I hope you are enjoying Labour Day Weekend.
Best,
Leanne
gorgeous projects, Leanne. So very lovely, as usual, and 52 jars of jam????? wow! you're amazing!
ReplyDeleteYour use of color is always so beautiful.
ReplyDelete52 jars of jam...I am coveting the blackberry and plum! Wow. I wish we had an endless supply of berries here. Maybe next year I'll just buy a lug of berries from the farmers market and make jam.

ReplyDeleteWe've had some glorious weather here, haven't we? Your August was beautiful, Leanne!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for not reading you blog more often, but as you know I can find hardly time to read all these wonderful blogs.
ReplyDeleteBut the picture of the island made me so curious, that I had to make this little break ;-). Is this the island you spend your summer holidays? It is so small and calm, looks sooo relaxing!
Hope you get into the normal life soon :)

You have such amazing taste in color and a great sense of shape/geometry. It's always great to pop over here and see your monthly mosaics!
ReplyDelete52 jars of jam? Holy cow! Enjoy :oD
ReplyDeleteLove the quilts you did, and looking forward to seeing where those ferris wheels go :o)
Busy Busy! Love the bag, I just can't have enough bags or bag patterns. I am contemplating the QAL - I want to get a few things checked off my list first, without adding new. But the Mod Pop is great, and I would love to see what colors everyone comes up with. Slow would be good for me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo of the sea - wonderful way to spend your summer.
I didn't get to comment on all of these projects individually, so I figured I could comment here! Love, love, love the EPP, so pretty. Your shopping bag is pretty fabulous too! I am really envious of those blackberries, we had a terrible harvest this year!
