june's OMG

 yikes, june already???  here's the official goal for june, the batik splash now being quilted...

it's about 25% completed so june finish is do-able...and in case you were wondering...

alive and thriving, newly repotted, mystery revealed...it's cilantro!  and lazy hazy days of summer are here so time to think about another project...

from quiltmania, pervenche des toiles designed by france aubert...i've opted for 9 blocks only so should be finished in my lifetime...LOL....here are the tuscan-style fabrics have been hoarding for the right thing!

got these on the internet as a small bundle perhaps 8 or so years ago (not the far left neutral)...purposely did not cut into them for anything else.  the main background will be the yellow paisley...but won't get officially started until more UFOs are done....so what else on june's list?

  • 25 tiny churn dash blocks, 4"
  • 43 not as tiny kaffe/MATO border blocks, 5"
  • june mini (cut out to assemble today)
  • mom's purse -- finish in time to travel in august
  • finish secret project blocks and assemble top -- behind on this, no surprise

going to be a busy summer i do believe!

never forget

 


tough week where hearts have been broken and forever changed....in my soul i scream STOP!!! but it never does...the loss of those who serve selflessly is more than enough grief to bear without more senseless killing.  a recent lunch at Mission BBQ the national anthem was played at precisely noon as is their custom, but there were those who refused to stand, which angered me.  don't they realize that it's what the anthem represents that gives them freedom to disagree at inequities?  so many scream disrespect, but it's those who snub the symbols of our freedom disrespecting those who died defending them.  America--love it with all its flaws and failures, or leave it.
