Busy, Busy, Busy

It's a good thing I am a woman and can multi task, because I am turning it into an Olympic sport here in our house. Getting ready for our holiday, doing the usual like feeding the masses, and laundry, grocery shopping...  oh...   and cutting the fabric for my September Brit Bee blocks.

There has been some indication that a few in the bee would like a hint. Ha! Well, I will tell you this much. It involves my new baby - Go! Baby that is. We have been spending a lot of time together today.


I have been cutting over 30 different fabrics and a charm pack. Did you know that it takes a lot of hexie cutting to get enough for 12" blocks? And did you know that the Go! Baby can cut very small hexies?


How many of you believe that I went with hexies? How many think I am winding you up? How many think I am having fun with this?

I am certainly telling the truth about the fabric. Here's a sneak preview.


And if you think I am joking about using the Go! Baby - here are some of the scraps.


Now I really had better go sort a suitcase or two. A holiday to take. Places to go and people to see. I will be able to access my Google Reader and will continue my voracious blog reading, but I will not be able to access my email if things go the way they did up north. So thank you for any comments you  leave in the coming week and apologies that I cannot reply.

Cross your fingers the sun shines on us. Would love a day or two on the beach that didn't involve layers upon layers of clothing.

    If you don't want piles of clothes on you should be going to the nudist beach at Brighton!! Ahh - too cold!

    Enjoy the IoW and chill in a good way with glass of wine and I-pad!

    I've practiced machine pieced hexies! Will that be useful at all for your month?

    I have some good satin stitches for machine applique... maybe that might be useful?

    COME ON WOMAN! WE NEED MORE INFO!!!

    Have a great trip xxx
