               ~ Make up 2 - 5x5 blocks: 1 orange 1 green To do

            ~ Plant the last pumpkins in the big tub Done!


My list for this week will be:

 ~ Make up 2 - 5x5 blocks: 1 orange 1 green To do

~Work on scrap black framed log cabins To do

~Start Binding 2 string star quilts To do

It is a short list but more than enough to keep me busy . 

Here is my wealth of green log cabins added to 

the vault. They were so fun to do, can't wait till 

the quilting frenzy hits me!




It was getting a little sparse!  I had forgotten about
 
sizing up batting for these three tops. There are still are a
total  13 of quilts to be done !


I did manage to stitch up about a zillion 



 

Terri Rowland 3 1/2" blocks, (actually about 120).  

They very addictive and even made a dent 

in last week's  gifted scrap box!

I am going to sneak in a little stash report

here. I just realized tomorrow is Tuesday.

I lucked into a great find of backing or piecing 

fabric for $1.30m so my fabric in went up but 

very economically!




The early part of the week was full of block party, 

kid's day and quilt meetings

This week is flying by and summer is so 

nice here. The backyard is blooming

and I had a great time shifting my 

perennials around.  They don't seem 

to mind when I shift them so I 

attack my yard with my favorite tool often. 

It is a long handle, 1/2 sized spade. 



It is a repurposed sampling tool 

my DH used during his field service 

hazardous waste testing days. It is 

so perfect for getting lots of oomph

into a spadeful of soil!  

More quilty things tomorrow with 

my BFF coming in for a year end dinner, 

and meals with friends!

Stay safe and sew on !

  6. Just reading about all you do in one week exhausts me. Just kidding, you are doing great things. I like your shovel, too. I have one similar, but with a shorter handle. Hubby gave it to me many years ago. I call it my "ladies' shovel", just the right size for doing small jobs.

  7. I enjoy seeing your quilt tops hanging in the closet. I do that too because I hate ironing those big quilts. Hanging them seems to reduce wrinkles while they await quilting.
