I was able to get a little stitching done while visiting with my sister Mary this week. We spent a lot of time on her deck enjoying the beautiful weather. Mostly I was busy running errands for her (and doing a bit lot of shopping for myself, naturally!), doing laundry and a little cooking.
It took a lot of wheelchair wrestling and walker wrangling, but we even made it to Urban Growler one evening. I'm not a beer drinker, but Mary is an early investor and she gets free beer for life, so we had to go! I usually order wine or a Bloody Mary (aka Salad in a Glass), so I was happy to find that the Rhubarb Wit is very good (my sister's suggestion for me).

| I haven't decided on how to finish the strawberry on the June Buttermilk Basin block. Stacy used tiny black buttons, but since I don't have any on hand, I may do yellow French Knots. |

| I'm slowing catching up on some machine piecing projects. These are last week's Temecula Summer Sampler four inch blocks. Yesterday I found a few minutes to start assembling my Thimblecreek Mystery pieces together--I think it's going to be spectacular! |

| Today, after doing some catch-up cleaning around the house and maybe a little garden weeding, I hope to sit outside and work on my Temecula InstaSewAlong Doll Quilt. |

You have gotten alot done! : )
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say that you got quite a bit done this last week. I can't wait to see your mystery quilt!
ReplyDeleteHello Karen! I love your strawberry and I can see that your Thimblecreek quilt is going to be fabulous! Good luck with all those hexagons! :) x
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks! those hexagons are really looking pretty. hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot done! I feel like my wheels are just spinning. Too many distractions hopefully life will get back to normal this next week!
ReplyDeleteI love that giant strawberry! The little white flower is perfect. Yellow or gold beads would be pretty too. Looks like you are keeping busy!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a lot of fun projects you are working on. I agree with Monica...little yellow or gold beads would look pretty on that strawberry. That hexagon doll quilt will be so sweet. I've never seen hexies laid out in rows of different colors. I'll have to look up Rhubarb Wit!
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of little blue and white prints. Making a nice hexagon piece.
ReplyDeleteI really like all of your fabric choices - very rich and warm! As a hexagon lover the sew along looks very interesting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great background for your BB block! I was thinking of some golden yellow beads for my strawberry, but the knots are a great idea. If I don't like the look of my beads, I may do that, too. : )
ReplyDeleteAll great projects here, Karen!
I love that berry with the bird perched on top. So darn cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you had a chance to get out and about a little bit in between chores. Love seeing the progress on your projects.
