A Very Full Week

 Busy week with lots of stitching, 

visiting and dining!

Lovely dinner last nite with our chemist, 

back from presenting his project to 

corporate bosses in California. 

We visited local BBQ shop, 

and oh there was  so much meat!


A nearby church had a quilt show of their members' quilts. 
Some they had made, some were gifted and some were 
historical heirlooms. Looking thru the fabrics 
and reading the wonderful stories of these
cloth works was a delightful afternoon, well spent!




I was even gifted some gorgeous mini

blocks by a friend. They are adorable!



I've made great progress on my string 

stars and even prophetically stitched up 

enough strings for four purple ones!  Yay

(Rainbow scrap challenge for July is purple!)


The deep blues from June really make an impact too!



My block bank has enough center colored blocks for 

four quilts. After quizzing the family quilters, they al

agreed they would not be making string 

star quilts themselves.  I still need more solid cream string 

blocks and 1/2 blocks but already I've  made enough

large stars for one top! 


This is one of my block bank boxes. 



The date on the box is 2021.  Yes, I do color code the 

dates on my UFOs so I can tell when I last touched them!

It is so much fun to pull out the fixings 

and make up blocks/quilts.


The lattices were also sewn on the color sashed quilt 

this morning.



 A better name for this quilt is ......


Color Around the Block. 

It was fun to do and will be displayed on 

the railing for a while.



Stay safe and sew on !
