Sew Stripy

I love all the summer stripes around at the moment - from bright deck chairs and striped bunting, to my own favourite stripy tops, I love the summery brightness and freshness of StRiPeS sooo much! I took pictures this week of some of the stripy sewing I've done, both a while ago and more recently. I've been working on a  commission which involves stripes too which is why I've been loving them more than ever......

 ...I love the red and white patch in this little quilt - it makes me think of punch and judy shows on the sands..

....a stripy summer heart for a rose lover, on a piece of birthday wrapping paper combining florals and stripes

....and some more little summery hearts - another winning combination for me has always been this chalky blue and white stripe it always makes me think of beach huts and the seaside.....

 ...I have been finishing up some summer projects this week, which involves lots of paperwork as in writing instructions, checking charts and templates, making out invoices and so on at my computer, rather than sewing in  the garden which is the bit I like best....lots of cups of tea helps, especially in a stripy mug...

 ...I am packing my bags today (with plenty of stripy tee shirts) as we are heading off on a short trip - partly business (a design meeting) and then for a relaxing few days away...so I will be taking a blog break...

I have already packed my camera and my wool....In the meantime, thank you for dropping by to see me here in my little bit of blogland, and  I hope you enjoy lots of happy, lazy hazy days of summer until I return. Back in a little while xxxxx
