How's your Summer going?

Hello, all.  How's your summer going?  Mine's been pretty busy so quilting is happening at a sloth's pace. The border in that commission quilt is still mostly undone.  But I did make the label.  Here's how I did it.

1.  Printed out what I wanted to say:

2. Copied it onto freezer paper:

3. I ironed it onto a square on the front of the top . Then quilted it.

Now if I could just finish the border and bind it. 

To round out this report here's some photos from summer days:

Off for my walk before it get's hot.  Then to the dentist.  And hopefully some quilting. What's your list for today?  Visit LeeAnna's I Like Thursdays to see what others are doing. Blessings,

    Neat process for that quilt label. Very hot here too with heat warnings again. Stay cool and enjoy stitching that binding.

    Your label turned out great. Not much going on here.

    Fascinating how you can draw quilt inspiration from so many places (I am not a quilter but I admire all of you!!!). Joining you from I Like Thursday. Have a great weekend!
