Lazy August days

 I have been busy in August...too hot to be outside for long. Other than early morning walks and gardening I’m happy to be indoors.  I put together two more Quilts of Compassion from donated blocks although I forgot to take pictures. But they were just like this one....

I’m making a second Elvira, I need to update this photo as it is quilted and waiting for the binding!  

And I picked up two more kits at the last QUILTS FOR KIDS workshop, something quick and easy to work on. 

Two more Quilts for Kids

These are always fun and quick to do!

Finally a finish

Heroes Comfort is now finished and ready for a QOV donation!

Middle of July

I admit I haven’t spent much time in the sewing room, got interested in the tv series, “Heartland.”  Watching that is mostly what I did for a couple weeks!  My staycation...

But I have been busy in my garden and finally picked up where I left off on the QOV quilt called Heroes Comfort. This is the completed top.  All from stash. I even have a perfect backing and will get this quilted soon. 

Covered in Love

I assembled this and quilted it for a donation quilt, I love the bright cheery colors, it is so nap-worthy looking. I think it is the backing!  So I am in need of a project...I’ve got ideas for Lots of quilts but where to start. Maybe I should start a QOV, it’s been some time since I’ve done one of those.

I wanted to start another pattern by Gudrun at https://gequiltdesigns.com but I don’t have the rulers she uses and not sure I have anything I can substitute. It’s called Strip to Shore 

Beautiful June days

Besides enjoying this pretty month I have been doing quilty things. Putting together a group of 30 donated squares into a quilt and quilting it. Not very far along!  Then making 25 face masks for a LQS, almost done with them. The enticement for making masks was the chance to win a serger! Here are some...

Speaking of masks I made one from ShabbyFabrics.com and I have to say it is the easiest and fastest one I’ve made yet!  Not that I tried them all!  I wanted a contoured mask, not a pleated one. It is reversible and so cute. You don’t know how a print will turn out...looks like eyes!

H2H recap

I was able to donate two quilts this year to the H2H project. One went to Quilts of Compassion and one to Quilty Hugs. It has been a strange time indeed and I think quilting kept me grounded.  Congratulations to all those involved in this effort!

Just had to show off my pink peonies, poor things fall over outside and actually do better in the house. And fill the room with their sweet scent...
