September is just around the corner!!!

Well, a couple more days till September is here!

In our house that means back to school for the little one - and this year back to school for me too! (though I start a week after my son). 

The last couple weeks I have been working on projects not yet on here... but I will post them soon (as I complete them).   - I've even been working on my hexies a bit again!
This coming week though hubby has taken some extra time off work, to spend time as a family before school starts - as then holiday season is right around the corner!!!!

Hope you are all ready for the coming change of season!

I will continue to update, weekly.... but don't be shocked if the pace slows down a bit - like I don't think I will be adding any more goals for the rest of the year lately - got two more quilt I want to start.... and one I hope to finish....  but other than that, hoping to finish some of these MANY projects I have on the go! (Like Downton Abbey, the whole cloth, and the top of Bella Verona!!!)

Have fun quilting! And feel free to comment any time!

URGENT, STOLEN QUILTS!

Nancy Rink, a fellow quilter, has had a number of quilts stolen from her studio.

Her facebook link is here https://www.facebook.com/nancy.rink.7/media_set?set=a.10202541306233479.1073741827.1220573831&type=3

I have also shared on my facebook page.

Nancy has offered a reward for their safe return, and I hope they are returned safely.

Please keep an eye out, social media can be a powerful thing!
