Friday update

I finished the sailboats for the Bitty Block quiltalong. They are kind of cute!

and am caught up on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (red):

I started a new paper pieced project called Americana Quilt Along. It's a row-by-row quilt and the pattern is free as long as I keep up each month. I started the July block late, so am working on it. Will post a picture when it's done...

Updates

I really have been here all summer, no vacations, just too lazy to blog. But that doesn't mean I haven't been busy in the sewing room occasionally!
I worked on a wall hanging for the 4th of July...I actually like the second picture better than the finished one - I like the wave with nothing cut off...

and then I began the long process of quilting the huge Grand Illusion mystery from Bonnie Hunter started last November... I love the pink flamingoes on the back!

This Grand Illusion was the last quilt in my "to be quilted" pile. Feels so good. And now I can catch up on the monthly projects, Bitty Blocks and Rainbow Scrap Challenge, but get busy on some older projects started last year and before. And of course I have some projects waiting to be started...

My baby blue blocks

All I accomplished last week in the sewing room was to make my June scrap challenge blocks, Baby Blues. I did read several books, daily working in the garden and inside chores. The hotter it gets outside the more I want to relax on the couch and read! Currently I'm working on a patriotic wall hanging, should finish it in a day or two...

Finished Disappearing Hourglass

I have been busy, just not blogging about it! Last week I worked on and finished my Disappearing Hourglass quilt, and it will be donated to my local VA Hospital. I love the pattern!
