mowing man is busy at work early this morning so it's officially summer! temps around 80 today also a definite sign...but i am ready for it. finally finished the last basting job...
it's the butterflies...and they will get added to this pile, which should keep my hoop occupied until leaves fall and maybe beyond....
this means after 2 weeks, the folding table is back to the closet and the living room returns. next time i baste, the DWR will get done plus the secret gift project...and maybe this patient UFO...
this is from APQ magazine 2008....love churn dash pattern and this really makes it wow. i've started the smallest blocks--4" finished--and might be basted this year. designers are sarah maxwell and dolores smith. *** so what else? the hexie stars are just about ready to baste. original pattern from marcia hohn over at quilterscache.com and she titles it "hexed stars"....the finished piece will debut later this week! otherwise is a free day....no cooking, laundry or outside appointments...storms threatening so exercise tomorrow. four half-hours per week seems just about right for me without getting too tired. with lots of free time to ponder, overwhelmed with gratitude at how blessed i am....

ReplyDeleteYou know I love a good churn dash......
Your butterflies and churn dashes look great.
ReplyDeleteI love that churn dash. Surely it's in my archive somewhere. Hope to see you at the quilt show this week.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting that blogspot show anonymous now instead of defaulting to name. Sigh
DeleteThe butterflies make such a happy quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good to get things basted and hand quilted. I struggle just to get backings put together, let alone go beyond that step!
My goodness, I am crazy about that churn dash quilt you are making!
Wow have you been busy! Love the butterflies such cheery colors. That churn dash caught my eye years ago. Thanks for the reminder. Thanks also for your comments on my blog
