Sunday exhale

Exhale.
Here's my new view for the summer! I'm all settled in, and have a had only a few minutes to play so far. Got the machine up and running, so I did some machine quilting and playing around.

(ONE MORE DAY FOR THE FABRIC GIVEAWAY
SCROLL DOWN TO NEXT POST TO COMMENT ON SUMMER)




I thought I had a half hour to sew, as B had some reading to do. I came back up stairs after a half hour and...

Has anyone seen my girl?
reminder to self, buy clothes that don't blend into the rug...
I guess the end of the school year wiped her out too! I may get my own nap today...


Just before I left NYC, I had gotten some vintage brown fabrics. I had to play... just a little!
You didn't think I could really stop sewing last Tuesday did you?
My sewing machine may have been unplugged, but my serger was still sitting there!
Now I just have to find the right piece for the backing. that could take a while.
vintage or new backing ?
That is the question...


As I finished cleaning the studio, I found these old pink log cabin blocks.
(It's like finding a $20 bill in the wash!) forgot I had them!


I did not make them and they are not my taste, but, I figured I could have a little fun with them so they came along to the house, thought that might be a good project to play with this summer if I get tired of machine quilting all these quilts I have waiting here...


I brought a small amount of fabric to play with, and a big bag of 2" cut squares,
I outta have some fun with those!

Now I need to go weed my garden again. The peonies are blooming, the grass has been mowed.

aaahhhh. Come on summer.... Bring It On!

  1. My heart strings pull when a see a sleeping child. Its a sweet Mommy moment. My mother's favorite color was brown. My sister and I would moan
    when she gravitated to a brown fabric but now I too love the browns. Looks like you're going to have a marvelous summer. Happy quilting.

  7. Hey.. I knew you'd take enough fun stuff along with you. :-D Love the vintage browns. Can you tell what era they are from? I can't make the pictures very huge to see the prints up close good enough. Actually.. I just want to see them in person. :-D
