Monday

I've noticed what seems to be a loss of interest in bloggers both by readers of the blogs and the bloggers themselves.  Including me.  I mostly set up my blog for my own benefit as a journal-type record, and if there's a way to download it, I'd be interested. 

So I have been busy on things, lately binging on Netflix has been my main interest.  I found these to be of great interest:
1.  Pablo Escobar, Patron del Mal.  Story of Pablo Escobar, drug lord in Columbia, in Spanish.  It is refreshing to see actors NOT from Hollywood! and interesting scenes.  Based on fact.
2.  La Esclava Blanca.  About slavery in Columbia in 1800s, in Spanish.
3.  Lady, la Vendenda de Roses.  True story of a rose seller from Columbia, in Spanish.
4.  La Viuda Negra.  True story of Griselda Blanco, drug dealer from Columbia, in Spanish.  Wonderful acting in all these Spanish films, I even picked up some Spanish language.  Another favorite is
5.  Velvet, a Spanish "soap opera" set in the 1950-60 time frame.  Fabulous dresses, music and actors.  In Spanish.  Am impatiently waiting for the next season, which I hope Netflix gets sometime next year.

AND, I have also done some quilting!.  Finished my Summer Solstice quilt, a summer quiltalong, it is real big!  I love the back as well as the front, makes me want some orange, raspberry and lime sherbert...

 

Also doing the next QOV mystery quilt by Alycia.  Here are the first couple of clues:

and also following the Meadow Mystery quiltalong, here is progress:  Very boring compared to what others are doing.  If I like how it turns out might make again with bold dynamic fabric...

 

Meadow Mystery, October clue

I Finished the October clue, not without making mistakes! But all are squared up and ready for November.  Also half done the quilting on my Summer Solstice quilt...

Help blogger!

Where is my blog list?  Are you working on the problem?  I hate not being able to check other blogs! I am trying to reconstruct my old list, wish I could remember more of them....

Thursday

Yikes almost the end of September! where did it go... I did finish the Yahoo group QOV mystery quilt, and just in time as the next one starts on Friday September 30th.

and keeping up with the Meadow Mystery quilt, have completed the September clue, which was super easy and looking forward to October.

I just noticed today that my blog list no longer appears on my blog!  don't know what happened there.  Wonder if anyone else has had this problem?  I hope if comes back cause I sure don't remember all the blogs I had listed!

Sashing done, I think it needs a border!

Summer solstice blocks done

Summer Solstice

I am making great progress on my Summer Solstice quilt along.  Lots and lots of sewing, nothing hard, just sewing.  Matching seams, points, etc.  I was reminded to match the points and centers and forget about the ends not meeting as that will be taken care of in the seam.  The next clue comes out on September 1, so I will be ready for it.  Here are some of the blocks, there will be 9 total:
