Make it casual, not pushy and just ask if they had ever come to a decision regarding the project work they had discussed with you.It may be as simple as not enough funding or the project may have been usurped by another one.

Or maybe they are awaiting a decision from somebody higher up the chain of command. This is pretty common in business and the hiring process can take much longer than you'd think. If you want, you can mention that you're "always interested in doing more work with (company)" to signal that you're still interested; you can ask about the job outright, but it might be an awkward conversation.

Depending on how long it has been since the last email you sent, I'd send them another email and remind them you are still EXTREMELY interested and would like to hear back from them whether they will hire you or not.
