Haven't posted for a while, but I'm so pleased with what I've gotten done.
1. Finished and have worn Strawberry linen pants and a natural color linen shirt. I love them!
2. Figured out a quilt label after trying to design one in EQ, but wasn't happy with it. I purchased a frog cutting die because I simply thought it was cute. Well, it is really cute and I will be using it for quilt labels. Working on that.
3. My PieceMakers Calendar Quilt 1994 is on Phoebe although I haven't gotten very far, but have quilted part of the border and the first row. This quilt is 92" wide on an 8 foot frame. It's a bit cramped. I will get back to it very soon. Also made a cloth hammock for backing, batting and top so they don't drag on the floor while I work. Love my Phoebe.
4. Cleared off my sewing table so I could repair a quilt top I made back 1968 when I was 20 years old. It is out on the line after soaking for a while. Should be dry soon. I'm thinking I might hand quilt it. Haven't really decided. This top is mentioned in one of my first blogs. I've always loved it. It doesn't look out of style to me.
5. As always, I'm trying to organize my studio. I cleared out a lot of floor space, but my cutting table has stuff on it.
6. I took bindings off of two quilts so I could replace the bindings. Job done!!
7. I finished my Blue Jay for my Hummingbird Highway quilt. That make 12 finished with six to go.
There was a treat that showed up in my gardens this year. I planted two blue hydrangeas twenty years ago. This is the first summer they have bloomed! So beautiful!!
Still counting my blessing!
