Hey June

 Hey June is a GE Designs pattern I am doing next. Although I didn’t sew on the day of the quilt along, I watched the videos and bought the pattern. Looks like it’ll be fun!  Just need to choose fabrics always the hardest part…

We’ve had stinking hot weather, I haven’t felt like going back to my sewing room. But that has to change!

And now it’s June, where did May go…

 May was a lovely month this year, perfect weather, gorgeous days and lots of gardening. I started 35 milkweed plants after getting inspired to help the Monarch butterfly…I may have gone overboard!  Most all have survived, now I need to find owners for the plants.  Not much sewing done while Bernie was in the shop being serviced, but lots of outdoor time and binge watching Prime! I hope to get back in the groove soon..meanwhile here are some of my flowers,

Finishes, in part

 My QOV top is finished, ready for quilting and the backing is prepared. I keep intending to take my Bernina in for service but seems there is always another quilt to quilt!


Also finished my GE Designs strip along, Strip Joints


I brought home two more QFK kits to work on along with everything else!

Working on Bokeh quilt along

 Here’s the first block..not very exciting.  What will add more interest is curved pieces the next part.



And here is a look at Strip Joints.  The opposite colors form the next block. You could say I like purples!

 For the QOV, it’s going to look like this with dark blue setting triangles.  Still working on Strip Joints and Bokeh Quilt Along...mostly keeping up!

QOV mystery, Dakota Inspired

 I’m late starting this mystery, but it’s easy to catch up. Here are first 3 clues.  using scraps, wish I had more of the stars fabric...not very exciting so far!

Next blocks included making 12 blue squares...done. Red squares to do next
And here are some red squares. This will use up all the pieces. So what is next, and we haven’t used any dark blue yet...hmmmm
