finished on friday

 that would be the 26 churn dash blocks--the 6" ones...

another batch of pretty colorful blocks....now on to the 10" ones...and while rummaging thru the stash, came across some that had properly 'aged' so to speak...

even more revolting, more than one had never seen the scissors!  now that's pretty scary!  no doubt there will be more of those....it seems i've always been drawn to bright colors but lacked the inspiration and ideas to use them...until now.  interesting to see how the next batch will look.  *** summer rolls on and the days are one long fiery span.  spending more moments daydreaming of cool ocean breezes and waves....

latest batch

here are the most recent churn dash blocks....there are 14 of the 6-inch done, 12 to go.  pulling out all the brights and some funky prints from the stash for them. 

am cautiously pleased with what's done so far...the real test will be when all are finished and begin assembling the top.  next up are 10" blocks and only need 18 of those; lastly will be 16" and need 16 of those...so stay tuned!

my life-long love of sewing began at age 8 when my mother sent me to 4-H.  someone asked me what that was and i couldn't come up with an intelligible definition, so here it is.  4‑H is America’s largest youth development organization—empowering nearly six million young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime.  *** another week begins and thankful for every single day!
