Some of This; Some of That

The giveaway is still on for this book.  Ends Thursday, midnight. Go here to link up.

As for destashing, I made two sample blocks, two RSC challenge blocks and a backing for a quilt (as soon as I finish this post ) I am going to sandwich today. It's my Carolina Christmas top - a Bonnie Hunter mystery a few years back and June's WIPs Be Gone I never got to.  I figure I can do it in July since the one Judy picked for this month I've already finished.
My new YTD total of fabric out is 57.37 yds .

I'm also prepping some hand stitching hexies for when I watch Father Brown tonight. 

Out of my north facing bathroom window, I spotted this beauty in my neighbor's yard.

This is a Cassia Gold Medallion tree.  Isn't it gorgeous!  Here's a close-up.

I hope you get to sew or quilt today.  The weather's back to normal for this time of year. Hope it holds for the 4th.  So I close with an early Happy 4th to you and a belated Happy Canada Day for our friends to the north.  Blessings,

WIPs Be Gone on Saturday

The giveaway for the book, Art Glass Quilts will end this Thursday, midnight.  Go back to the last post and sign up to win.

My last yellow RSC block is done. Again a Pat Sloan pattern from her I Love to Make Quilts website.  The color Angela picked for this month is blue. However, I've done my blocks as the April color - multi-color - didn't work for my idea of the layout so I did them then.

I've been working on my isolette quilting - half done now.  So you won't think all I do is walking foot quilting here's the back of a sampler I made two years ago. 

I feel a lot of quilting flattens out baby quilts too much, so that's why I keep it minimal.  

I hope you get to sew or quilt this long weekend.  Blessings,
