All good things must come to an end

 After my last post I realised my heart isn’t in it anymore, so it’s time to say goodbye.

I loved blogging but my time has come and gone, and I’d rather leave with happy memories than continue to drag it out or leave it as another abandoned blog.

So for the last time, this is what I’ve been up to. I’m having a year of using up my stash, I’m not allowed to buy any fabric unless I really really need it, such as for a binding or a backing when I have a quilt with lots of seams.  I am allowed to buy wadding and thread, if I don’t have what I need, not want.

I have been in a hexagon phase, this was made from a layer cake which has been languishing in my stash for at least seven years I think.

This one got rid of a jelly roll I’ve had for at least as long. Funny how you buy things on impulse and never get round to using them.

This panel was perfect for a granddaughter who loves dogs. 

Oh yes! After five years I finally finished Gypsy Wife.

Postcards from Sweden I made this year, all from stash. Some of the colours, well, a lot of the colours are substitutes, and as you can see I have very little green.

Gypsy Wife number two, started in February this year and completely finished in May would you believe.

Finally this is me today, well, it was in May on my 70th birthday.

Life is full of challenges and I need to get cracking and enjoy life, rather than spending too much time in my sewing room. Not that I’ve stopped or intend to stop sewing, I am still on Instagram, just spend more time out and about doing. I don’t think I will ever regret not doing more quilts, but I don’t want to regret not having more adventures.

So for the last time, 

With smiles from
