It's taken a while to get this one done. It's the middle of the month already.
The lighting's strange. Picture was taken outdoors in the shade.

I like that bee, he would look good on a child’s cushion or something like that.

Sweet little bee

I haven't started this months face yet. This months is a lion. He's lovely. 

I'm working on this one instead for now. I'm going to make it into a cushion for it to be sold/raffled/tombola/whatever at the care home. They've got something going on at the beginning of September and I thought I could easily make something as my contribution. If I've got time I might do another one.





He's rather sweet isn't he?

Looks lovely @Sandra he could have a space on my sofa anytime.

A zip arrived this morning so I was able to finish off the last bit of the puppy cushion and it's been delivered to the home.

It seems to have been appreciated. The lady loved it when I handed it over to her. She said she might do it as a 'name the dog' item, and put a bottle of wine with it as the prize.
I was about to pop it back in the bag and she told me not to bother. She needed to show it to everybody first.

Whats not to like ... Maybe make a few more to sell? Give as gifts?

[Sandra]

Had the time and the inclination yesterday to (finally!) get the August block done. 





The block for September is an octopus and although it's lovely, it's a single fabric piece so unless you get fabric which is just right, I'm expecting it to look a bit  flat.
While I was looking for lion-colour fabrics I found a couple of possibilities for the octopus. I'm still at the thinking about it stage.

I couldn't resist buying the tree frog, dragon, and chameleon blocks when I bought the puppy one. No nearer to making those yet but one day I'm sure to find the motivation to get them done.

Thats Fabulous @Sandra ... it looks as if he's emerging from the brush of the African savannah !

I have some great fabric for an Octopus if you'd like it!

As soon as I rediscovered the fabric I've used for the background I knew it was The One for this block. That's exactly what I hoped it would look like.

Octopus fabric? I'm trying to be sensible and use some of this stash I've got here.
I've got a nice 'bubbles' batik for the background and I have a light grey spotty batik for the octopus. They've been put to one side while I think about it. I think I'm happy with the bubbles but not sure about the grey.
I need to go through my fabrics again to have another look.

Thank you.
