Modernista Homemade Round 4

I'm not in any bee's at the moment as the monthly international postage kills me, but when swaps pop up I miss the "being part of things" aspect and tell myself it's only a one off and join in...I've joined in three this summer using that logic! 

This is the start of my Modernista Homemade swap package for my top secret partner.

Isn't it funny that we enjoy cutting fabric up to stitch it together again!

I enjoy this bit a lot, patterns with blocks, layout and colour distribution 

This is what is made so far, with the temps in the glorious near 30's the attic is just a little too toasty to get into to sew through the day. I'm thinking late evening sewing through the week to get this all done and dusted ready to head out into the world next week. 

Given the beautiful weather we've had and my inability to get up to the attic it really would have been quite rude not to head to the beach, so that's what we did both yesterday afternoon and today once I'd finished work

Hope the weather is treating you kindly!

Not your usual content here but I really wanted to share this video. It is a regular conversation in our house, and I imagine some of yours too, that our country is biased towards sports with its funding over some areas that are much more in need ie education and health care but when I watched this short film it really does put things in perspective.

I love that this articulate young woman is saying how she feels, standing for her beliefs and has the ability to reach a wide audience. 

Low volume Lovely!

Well it didn't get finished over the weekend but Monday wasn't too far off :) 

Backed in my absolute favourite Ikea fabric

And just to share the prettiness heres a close up

This one is now listed in the shop ready to go to a new home and I'm already onto my next project, with photos to follow once my camera battery charges! 

A little sewing before work

I have a short shift today with an evening finish so I thought I'd get a little sewing in before I head out the door.

Quilting as I go while working through my low volume fabric stash, hope this one will be done for the weekend :)
