So things were a little busy this last week, what with jetting off around the continent and all, but I did manage to get 2 bee blocks done, so it wasn’t a total loss. Oh, and I taught a fabulous bunch of women how to make the Aeroplane Bag, can I count those 10 finishes too? I think I can, right? Apologies for not having caught up on my blog reading yet, I’ve been trying to get a bunch of other things sorted out so I can do that this weekend…
Finishes This Week:
Emily’s blocks for October in the Modern Stitching Bee, with apologies to my fellow Peaksters for the language that occurred during the making thereof:
In Progress This Week:
I got all of my buses fused, all a little different both from each other and from the pattern (don’t iron tired people!) then I got thwarted by a ‘generic’ free motion foot on my borrowed machine that turned out not to be so generic after all, so I sat and chatted instead, which as we all know, I totally hate to do…

To Be Worked On This Week:
Finishing my voile/velveteen behemoth
Finishing my bus cushions (after which I have no more excuses about decorating the spare room where they’re going to live)
Hope you’ve all had a great week, linking up, as ever, to:
You have the best excuse to not have gotten much finished.
Nice blocks and i love that bus cushion, i had fun making joans and she loves it!
Every time I see someone make those blocks for Emily I fall a little more in love.
Love those log cabin blocks, Katy. And your buses – so cute!
You've just saved me loads of work! I have been asked to make a VW bus cushion and I didn't know at all about this pattern, thank you Katy :o)
Hey! I'm working on a bus pillow too! For my son-in-law's birthday on the 16th. I don't think I'm going to make the date though. I don't have anything fused to the background yet, but the pieces are cut out!
Love the colors in the log cabin blocks. They are the same, but different.
Thank you :o) It was a bit of a struggle finding all those dark blues in my stash mind you!
The log cabin blocks look wonderful – probably aided in part by all the cussing.
I really do like those cushions…Happy to pop over and help you style your spare room- I like doing stuff like that.
love your blocks, so very pretty. And the buses, well those are simply amazing!!!
Love those Tula busses and your log cabins look fab too!
Smashing blocks for Emily!
Some ladies in my quilting class have made those cushions and they turned out great! Love your log cabin blocks 🙂
Looking forward to seeing the veleteen project, the log cabin blocks look fab
Great blocks, can't imagine why they would have caused any unladylike language!
I think I'm going to have to steal that quilt from Emily when it's finished;-)
Oh I love those vw vans – They are on my to do list, but it is a very long list!
Love those bee blocksm they are gorgeous.
love your bee blocks and the campers look great fun you have been a busy wee wuman! x
I am SO loving the blocks you guys are making for Emily. This is going to be a gorgeous quilt.
You are a busy bee! Congratulations on your bag making teaching debut (apologies if you have done this before and I missed it!). There is nothing nicer than sitting down with a cuppa, a biscuit and lots of blog reading to catch up with!
You always make the best bee blocks. You'll get your VW cushion done this week.
Oh my, there I was catching up on my blog reading when I spotted two pretty blocks in a thumbnail, low and behold….they are for me! Love them! Thank you 🙂
Love those blocks… 🙂
Yummy everything Katy!
