Making up this book sleeve was not on my bingo card for this week. I honestly planned for it to be a project for the November Modern Quilt Club retreat. However, I received a phone call from our local hospital on Monday, recommending that I cancel my holiday which starts today. That did not put me in a good mood!

Monday make - Frankie top
You'd be forgiven for thinking you've seen this top before a I've made the Frankie top by Tilly & the Buttons twice before in the same Chicacheetah fabric from Guthrie and Ghani, but in royal blue and light blue. I need to come up with a plan to use up the scraps of the three colourways.

My resident photographer is back from the UK tonight having visited Matt and Lizzie, so my photos are very basic today. Next project is either trimming and binding a scrappy quilt or making a dress to wear on our forthcoming holiday.

Post finish tidy up
I will admit that usually I am very lazy when I finish a project an the remains of the project remain strewn around my work space. I don't know what came over me when I finished A Quilty Little Xmas, but I tidied up!
I started with my basket of Christmas fabrics and donated many of the scraps to a friend who loves improv. An overflowing basket and two bags of scraps were sorted to half a basket with a part jelly roll cut for a small throw. Perhaps this might become a retreat project. I just need to add a background to the bag. I have also added some Halloween fabrics to the basket and rehomed my low volume fabrics to its own basket.

September plans
I finished more in August than I had expected. My hemoglobin is under better control, so I am not so tired. Nick is away for ten days in September so what can I achieve?
