Link Love: Spinning Clock Hands

We survived the school holidays! It was super boring for the little guy, but I hope he’ll be more forgiving in 2 weeks time when he’s in Disneyland! It’s killing me to not just blurt out “We’re taking you to Disneyland!”. I have been a sewing powerhouse the past 2 weeks. I’ve made 6 Upton Dresses, 9 Noodlehead wide open zipper pouches, 2 wet bags and countless quilt blocks. I have a week left in the studio before we hit the road and it’s going to be a mad panic this week to get everything finalised.

In fact, the panic is already underway as I’ve just realised I have to get him to school and I’m still in my pj’s. A short and sweet note from me this week! Wishing you a fabulous week filled with love, laughter and much fabric fondling!

The Colorblock LOVE Sew-along is underway and this week we’re make the letter ‘E’. This letter requires more Kinship Blocks and I made some of my favourites in this letter. I also added a little fussy cut reminder of something important to me. I’ve shared all the details about the sew-along, including links to all the tutorials and a peek behind-the-scenes on some of the blocks I made.
