Is it me or are these monthly link ups coming round faster every month?? Whatever the case I hope you have had a good and productive month, I can't wait to see what you have all been trying out this month.
I actually have a few New to Me activities to report on this month.
First up, my first ever baby quilt, which I am pleased to report has now been received and is in use.
Then my rather less successful first attempt at improv chevrons :)
However, if I just call it improv and ignore the fact that I was aiming for chevrons it starts to look fine!
More improv, this time embroidery for my first ever Embroiderers' Guild workshop
So, that's what I have been up to that was New to Me in June. Now it's your turn, as ever please help to spread the word by linking back to this post in your post and/or adding the blog button to your sidebar.

The link will remain open until 23.59GMT on June 30th, so you have plenty of time to try something new and link up and join the party :)
Congratulations on having your tutorial accepted! And yay for the baby quilt being used. I love knowing my quilts are being snuggled / drug around / used.
ReplyDeleteYou are inspiring! June has been a whirlwind here.....yes where do the days go.
ReplyDeleteYou had a very productive New to You month - I especially love your quilt, and I'm glad it's getting used :) I know for a fact that every quilt we make, wants to be used and loved and dragged around - it's what they were made for, and what they deserve :D
ReplyDeleteI got the kiddy binoculars I ordered from Amazon - now I can start my binocular bag from your tutorial, YAY! I have to figure out something though - along with the binoculars I ordered a magnifying glass - it's HUGE - about 12" long and 6" wide (at one end). It's so big it won't fit in the bag, but It's such a perfect accompaniment to the binoculars (especially for a 3 year old!) that I really want to work something out. Must put on my thinking cap!
Brilliant New to You's this month!
ReplyDeleteLots of new and exciting things for you this month, Fiona.
