Where is Everyone?

[Lowena]

Dead as a doornaill on here 
What's everyone up to?
Today I made most of a small teddy bear ( needle felting ) and tomorrow I hope to finish him off and make him a quilted, patchwork sleeping bag, so he's cost 
Also, August is underway with my temperature quilt

I've been sewing like mad trying to get all my Christmas projects/gifts done. I'd like.to see.your teddy bear Lowena

Been suffering with a head cold but am knitting mittens

[Acorn]

I've been out playing with babies.   

Oh, and we bought a new bird table this morning.

I've just got home from a weekend in Belfast. Whoops just noticed this is a darksiders thread  Ah well, I did make one quilt 

[Kenora]

I confess - I was lured to the Lightside, making my trousers, and I need to find my way back to the Darkness.

I have a child's quilt mostly cut out, but can't find my quilting mojo. Maybe when I get my big s/m back from the repairers' I'll make a start.

I've been unwell with a cold but have been thinking about which to choose between a log cabin (I have only ever made one single log cabin block!) or a french braid pattern for gifts. The biggest issue is selecting the fabrics 

I have only just realized how much you can do with a log cabin block, it's endless!

[Ploshkin]

My sewing of all kinds is in the doldrums just now.  I'm lacking any sort of inspiration.

I'd no sooner got back from a month in England seeing my grandson who was seriously ill with Lemierre syndrome, (he's recovered now), when my old dog took ill. After a brain scan he was diagnosed with a huge brain tumour and we had to say goodbye to him in early October.

However, this little one has come into my life to help ease the pain, and my word, what a little time waster she is! Meet Lola.

[Acorn]

Well, they say 'Time is precious, waste it wisely', and Lola looks like a very wise waste of time to me!

I’ve been knitting quite a bit- just finished a jumper for my granddaughter. Today I started off making some progress on my 3 bears baby quilt. Then I went to look for a gold bracelet I’ve had since I was a child. I last wore it at Christmas and just realised I hadn’t seen it in a while. I’ve searched all my hiding places;found all my other jewellery and found lots of other things I’d forgotten. I’ve  done lots of tidying and  thrown lots of old stuff out- but still haven’t found it. Most frustrating!

[Sheilago]

@supergran - just read about Lola. She is gorgeous. Sorry to hear about your old dog- I lost my older one too in June. Lola certainly looks like she’ll keep you busy.

[Lilian]

So sorry to hear of the loss of your dog @supergran  .  Little Lola will certainly help with the grieving. I did the same in January when I lost my 11yr old lurcher to heart failure    Now my new  (my avatar) keeps me very busy 

[Kenora]

@supergran - so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog, but little Lola looks absolutely gorgeous. I hope she helps heal a wound for you.

I finished up  the top of a charity quilt last week, and must get started on this years stack of flannel baby quilts for social services. I need to have 15 done by the end of the month. Thankfully I've got a ton of pre-cut squares to use.

I have a back-log of non-quilting client projects stacked up and have to get those done too.
