I can hardly believe it's been a month since I last blogged! This summer has been much busier than I anticipated. I haven't had much time to sew and I've mostly worked on smaller projects.
So here's a little update on the sewing I've done this summer.
John's spiderweb blocks for Bee Tweet. I should have done a practice block or two before using his fabric. I'll do that next time I sew a block I've never done before. I used this tutorial - which was awesome. I just didn't follow the directions exactly and then had to spend some time fixing my mistakes.
Pretty {little} Pouch Swap - I got Erin - who I already know - so that was fun. Here's what I made her. Other photos here and here.

post edit: I used a combination of these tutorials for box bags - here and here.
Darci got me - she's in Bee Tweet with me - so that was funny too. Here's the pouch she made me - which I love!
And last - 2 blocks for do. Good Stitches {a Charity Bee}.
I'm the designer on this one and I had everyone make a block inspired by this lovely quilt. I have received almost half of the blocks and I think I'll make 2 baby blankets with them. I think they're going to turn out really great!

Hope you all had a great summer! I'm so excited that school has started here. I'm planning on getting a lot of sewing done.
Just started reading your blog -- love everything you're working on! Do you have patterns for those pouches? They are adorable and seem like a good way to practice quilting skills (I am a beginner). Thank you! --Kristina
