I didn't accomplish a lot this week as far as sewing goes, but my gardens are looking a lot better and my house is cleaner too--yay!
Yesterday I did some traveling for a little family reunion/cousin's luncheon--lots of fun! The Minnesota statewide shop hop started on Friday, so in my travels yesterday I managed to get my passport stamped three times. Of course, all three shops are in different sectors, so it doesn't bring me at all close to qualifying for a prize, but we'll see what the next three weeks brings--haha!

| I have two more rows added to the Temecula InstaSewAlong--waiting to find out the next step. |
 |
| Sophie's Garden will be my project to finish for August. I have the top pressed, the backing pieced, and the binding cut--now I just need to talk myself up to start quilting!! |
 |
| In the meantime, I have most of the components made for Stars in the Garden and I decided on a fabric for the background path. I need 300+ hexagons, so I'll be working on them later tonight. Off for a little spin on the pontoon boat! Linking with a Lovely Year of Finishes HERE, Slow Sunday Stitching HERE, and WIP's Be Gone HERE |
