Well a few weeks of intensity and
a lot of progress on many fronts!
First of all , look at these cherries!
A bumper crop this year even tho the
size is slightly smaller than usual, there
are loads of fruit!
We have removed 13 gallon bags
from this tree and it still looks full!
Over in the workroom,
machines have been humming,
seizing and stalling, pins have been dropped
and needles have been breaking!
Even with this bit of chaos, I have a few finishes.
The wedding quilt was delivered last week, gifted
and spread much delight.
Yes, they are identical in all ways except the quilting and backing.
The wedding quilt has an all over serpentine and the keeper
has this lovely zig zag in each block.
The second is destined for my Cozy Collection but
as we've seen, those sometimes become gifts for big occasions!
To top everything off, the first of the six Stash Buster Irish chains
has been quilted and... bound! Yes a real win for me!
My organization genie really kicked in and there were many
family visits, meetings and a few lunch dates on top of bright
bursts of sewing ! What a midsummer !
Now here is the show off portion of the post!
Cherries , picked then cleaned and washed.
Some pitted , some
gifted, many eaten and 2 pies!
Tops pinned,
quilting done,
some batting to be removed
(yes, your parents were correct, haste makes waste)
and bindings made.
Finally, quilts bound up and complete!
