Today's post is quite apt really. Splitting my week between London (job) and North Wales (home) is working out well but I do miss being in my home every night so that I can just slot in an hour's quilting here and there.
This fabric is so indicative of life in London:
And this is what I've made out of it for Christmas for my frolleague's 13 year old son:
And a larger Pants Bag for my frolleague (she's going to use it for socks):
I've also made a start on another quilt (but goodness knows when it'll be finished!):
I'm home for 2 weeks at Christmas and I WILL spend more time in my sewing room! I've so many UFOs to work on :(

Those London fabrics are really really cool, I bet you have had/are having fun working with those!
ReplyDeleteWhat nice fabrics and projects. My UFO pile is also quite large. Our two puppies are now at home and finding time to sew has proven to be rather difficult between puppy chores and total exhaustion from their schedules!
ReplyDeleteWhat great ideas for boy products! Lovely fabrics :-)
ReplyDeleteI love those swirlly Union Jacks! Looking at them I can imagine the gusts of wind along The Strand.
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful London fabrics. Sorry to hear you don't get a quilting fix until the weekends. What a shame! Have fun working on your UFO's during the holidays!
ReplyDeleteIf I ever get to frolic around London, I won't want to come home I'm sure : )
ReplyDeleteIt must be very hard not to be able to sew during the week. Beautiful projects!
ReplyDeleteYour bags are so useful. These are sure to be loved, and the cushion is a perfect gift too. I hope you enjoy your Christmas break and sewing time.
ReplyDeleteHey! I just used my pants bag over the Thanksgiving holiday. So nice to have. I like the socks idea. Hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI've missed you, and I bet your sewing room misses you more! So glad you'll get some time to sew at Christmas. Great gifts for your friend and friend's son. I need to make more cushions as gifts. You always inspire me to simplify!
Oh wow I just adore those gorgeous London gifts! They both look fab and I am sure will be much appreciated! Glad to hear you are loving your town/country life, but I hope you get some decent sewing time in soon!!
ReplyDeleteOoooo, I looooove the London fabric!! Very neat indeed and makes a fabulous bag. Your life right now reminds me of the children's book, Country Mouse, City Mouse only you are one in the same!! tehe You still manage to get some sewing in and I'm sure it feels good when you get a chance!! Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteI adore the London print fabric!!
ReplyDeleteIt won't be long now and you will have two glorious weeks to sew!!
Happy Christmas to you and yours!
