I Like Thursdays

I'm going to Washington state soon, so I may not be posting often, but here's some things I liked in the past week. First off, I'm liking quilts that are being posted from the Sisters' Quilt Show.

 

I saw this one in Lori's second post about the show. You can view it here.  This is going on my bucket list.  Love the border.  Here's another one from that same show:

Love this one also - would use the idea, not copy per se.  I need to live to be 150 years old to get all these inspiring quilts done.

And then there is this scrappy string work (may have come from the Fret Not Yourself blog). What a great way to use up those strips.

Have been indoors almost all of the past week.  We're in another scorcher period of time. Thankfully the peak of this heat wave was only 114 - but all the other days were in between 104-110.  Ughhh.
My plants are fried.

Hope it is cool wherever you are (or warm if you're south of the Equator). Do go over to Lee Anna's post of goodness for the week. Bye for Now.

Some of This; Some of That

On my design floor - a top my mother put together at our retreat in May.  I've added the last border to make it 30" - a preemie quilt size.

I now need to finish sandwiching it and do the quilting.

And on my design wall - the beginnings of another scrappy baby quilt.

I'll see where this goes.

Stay cool, my friends.

Another Friday Finish

We were unable to have our Guild's regular, fabulously fun Christmas meeting on the last month of 2017 as the hall was not available, so we had it this month as our Christmas in July Potluck. The Board asked that we bring what we were going to show last December. Here's what I would have brought ( well actually I only had the blocks made)  - a table runner.

Nothing fancy - I was learning to make those tree blocks. First one was a dud (small one in runner), but that one helped me to get the rest right. Ready for Christmas decorating.  I also had all the blocks done for two Christmas quilts. I got them into tops for the meeting, but alas, family kept me from attending. I'm sure there was a lot of Christmas cheer shared.  Our guild has a blog and photos will be posted soon of the gathering. I'll get to see what treasures were brought in then. In the meantime you might like to browse the album from previous months of quilty goodness. Go on by.
