Unintended Hiatus

  Well - it's been awhile. I didn't really intend to stop posting; but it happened. Went away on holiday and then got busy and then, and then ..... I haven't even been doing a lot of blog reading, let alone writing, and I have missed it!

Don't you love summer? Although, I must say for this week the commute home from London has been hotter than ****!  Meltdown seemed entirely possible, and I did notice that some people were decidedly grumpy. Other people seemed so cool and collected! How do they do that?

My garden loves summer, too - here's a happy basket that the guy below hasn't  visited (yet).

 

And apparently. I can do random.

Here's my very random quilt - which is now 2/3 of the way to being complete. The strip at the side is about to be joined, and then I will have three more of the same.

The quilt outdoors. Better light. Very RANDOM!

I have been making it using this quilt-as-you-go method.This project feels like it might get completed - and I am anxious to start another, which I am going to make with a Moda Jelly-Roll, probably the cover-quilt from Pam and Nicky Lintoot's book Jelly Roll Quilts:  

Obviously photographing quilts is quite different from taking pix of handbags - I am going to have to do some blog-roaming to find good ideas for effective shots. Handbags are much easier probably because I usually don't make queen-size handbags ....

So - I am off to do some work before I break to watch the tennis. It's Roddick vs Murray, and although I quite like Roddick, GO MURRAY!!!

A+s much as I love it I don't do random well so I consider that if I say you have done yourself proud then you certainly have!

It is so funny--with my limited experience of London, I can't compute "so hot" with London! I have only been there in cool drizzle.
