'round midnight

that's when i caved and signed off chooky's zoom party last night...i spent the time doing applique on 'midnight at the oasis' and got it finished!

photo sub-optimal but you get the idea....really perks up the viney border i think....next border is checkerboard...

ooh i feel a flimsy coming sooon!  ***  in the Plan B department, laid out the scrappy DWR to baste and realized the backing was wrong size....oh noooo not again!  turns out it was the backing for s'mores, so off came DWR and on went s'mores....now to baste....

still have antennae to embroider, made more blocks for secret project....hand quilting on wall UFO almost done, doing the border now....respite from boring rainy weekend TV thanks to the library....

next up in the hoop is the 'batik splash' as it's headed to dear daughter's when finished....and speaking of my only child, tickets on board for 'downton abbey: a new era'....so traveling east next week for a girls day out and a side trip to trader joe's...the muggies are on the way so will be cranking up A/C, first time this year...102 days to the beach vacay!

  3. Ending your work on Midnight at the Oasis at midnight. How appropriate. :) It is looking so beautiful!
    I am sorry I missed you again, Grace. Thought I'd be on before you signed off, but family wedding (my youngest niece) made for a long, draining day. When I got home from it all, I had planned on jumping on Zoom, but I headed for a long soak in the tub, instead. It was midnight my time (2 a.m. yours) when I finally joined Zoom for a couple of hours.
    As always, I really love the cosy feel of S'mores.
    Sounds like fun plans with your daughter.
