multi purpose posting...

The one where I stuff as many linky posts into one as I can...  

My September Mosaic, for the fabulous Lilys Quilts Fresh Sewing Day.  


I should do mosaics more often, they really make me feel like I've been super busy!  

So, that was September.  Two swaps finished, and 3 lots of bee blocks.  Not bad considering the man came home end of August and my sewing and blogging usually gets turned upside down as my routines all get changed.  Well, I say "routines"...  quite the wrong word really as one of my most annoying traits is utter unreliability...   And I say "turned upside down" but really it's just a shift of priorities.  When man is away I use whatever awake time I get to do fun stuff with fabric.  When man is home I use most of the available awake time to do stuff with food (ie cook) and not such fun stuff with fabric (ie laundry).   So, I'm rather chuffed with my mosaic.

NO PHOTO...

What I'm not so impressed with, is my spectacular fail when it comes to Rhonda's Finish Along...   From my 3rd Quarter Pledge I have to come clean and admit to ... well, no finishes there at all.  D'oh!  
I shall be thinking a bit more realistically when I do my 4th Quarter Pledge that's for sure...  


Oooh talking of being a bit more realistic, I'm going to take part in Blogtoberfest again!  Yay!  Well, Kat took the time to personally invite all of last years participants, I couldn't say no to dedication like that!  Last year I managed one post every 3 days.  So, piss taking aside, I am not going to try to improve on that, I'm just going to hope to live up to that... and not bore you all in the process...

If you have the time, do go have a nosey at the other Fresh Sewing Day posts, the 3rd quarter reviews at Rhondas, and for some diverse not necessarily quilty blogs, be sure and check out the other Blogtoberfest writers!

  14. Gorgeous mosaic! Don't forget all the work you've out into the swap - you could have made a quilt in the time it's taken! Good luck with Blogtoberfest - I can't decide if I admire you or think you're a wee bit touched...

  15. Hey Sarah, so excited that you're joining is for Blogtoberfest12! As much or as little as you do is totally valid and appreciated.
    The mosaic is a wonderful idea. I've never out one together: is it tricky? Do you use Photoshop or somesuch?

  16. Time and time again you crack me up. You have fab finishes for Sept so ignore the lack of finishes for Rhona. Just re-post your 3rd FAL list as your 4th!
