Long long time no see!

Where has the last six months gone? Life has been sooooo hectic and little sewing has been done. Feel the need for my own sake to try and do some sometime ( dont we all?)
Well what has happened.... apart from work being very stressful and taking up so much time, my eldest son got a new job and moved back home to live for a month, till his new flat was ready. Just said goodbye to him and his furniture! As a lot of it was stored in my sewing room I now have access again so can get going I hope.
Did manage to finish two quilts. For years Ive been collecting old cotton shirts from local charity shops- any size or colour as long as they were cotton. I worked with squares and triangles- simple bt effective. Cant show you yet cos blogger wont let me upload at the moment but will try again later.
Also went to Sandown Quilt Show a few weeks back. I was very restrianed with my spending but did buy a little stash! Also saw Mandy Shaw - lovely lady and a lovely chat- and The Running Chicken with a bigger stall than last year.
Ive got plans- lets hope I can bring them to fruition!
