today's post...

brought to you by the word "more"....as in more progress on current projects.

more quilting on s'mores...and found a use for that pesky walker i need to keep on hand...

acquired an oval hoop from senior center donation but no stand.  besides, would have been too short but eureka!  the walker fits the bill.  i just might get this finished in june...

more basket blocks....


only 72 more to applique...on target for finishing them all by august 31st...i could really use a much larger design wall...

more album blocks....


only 18 more to sew up and then it's on to a flimsy....am thinking these 2 will be the last bed size quilts i make...focus more on smaller projects and some scrappy tops that will get donated.  

and in the UFO department, batting and backing on hand to baste this biggie....


you know how i love solids and this makes me absolutely swoon....hoping this will be my winter quilt, or at least one to warm me as the new year dawns....maybe?  a good task for a triple-digit heat weekend...

lots of personal stressors have been resolved and aside from the heat, should be--or hoping it will be--a week to relax and focus on some self-nurturing.  hot weather meals requiring simple prep on the menu.  it surely has been a rocky, stressful and devastatingly tearful spring, thankful to my God for His sustaining and comforting daily presence.

  1. Clever use of your walker. I'm glad it will make quilting more convenient. Lots of progress to show - 72 more baskets seems like a lot but you make it sound like it will be no problem. You must applique more quickly than I do. God's help blesses us all.

  2. Glad you've been able to tie up loose ends -- both for Life in General as well as quilting. Clever repurposed stand for that hoop! Stay cool.

  6. Yes, thanking God always for His care and keeping. I'm glad you're feeling a bit less stress and keeping cool. Your walker/stand is genius! I love, love, love that BowTie quilt. All of your projects are wonderful and progress forward is a good thing. Well done. Sending hugs~

  8. Hello Grace. I like the clever stand you created from your walker. Using things in unusual ways is what I do too especially if it saves me money or time.
    Those baskets are growing pretty fast! I too wish my design wall was bigger - I just put one up.
