Squares all round

I am gradually getting my sewing supplies back together although my stash aka "various cloth pieces" are still hidden away in the storage unit! I have, however, uncovered my scrap bags so I was able to sew the purple blocks for this month in the Sunday Morning Quilts Bee.

I have fallen way behind on my Craftsy and In Color Order HST  BOM quilts, both of which were intended to be Christmas presents, although that is looking less likely as each day passes! In a quiet moment yesterday though, whilst the men of the household were ensconced in front of the rugby I did at least make a start of cutting out the squares for the HST BOM.

It is not much but at least it is a start!

Although I haven't yet come across my stash my fabric cupboard is not entirely bare.

These are the fabrics I received from the Christmas Layer Cake swap, one of which has already been put to good use in my project for the Sew Seasonal Blog Hop.

Check out the remaining posts in the Blog Hop if you have Christmas fabric waiting to be used too!

Just in case my stash remains absent for too long I treated myself to some fabric bundles too. An almost bare fabric cupboard makes me twitchy :)

 I am having a bit of a purple month! This bundle has been on my wish list for a while so when it was reduced at Fabricworm, it was too good an opportunity to miss.

These fabrics are destined for gifts for my eldest and middle sons. The eldest works in the fine wine trade and my middle son works in publishing so they were too apt to pass up. Well that is my excuse anyway.

Hope you had a more productive weekend than I did.

It is the last week of the Let's Get Acquainted Blog Hop so Beth has a bumper crop of bloggers lined up. Check them out below. There will be plenty of inspiration there I am sure!
