unmentionable

if you live in the path of the current heat wave, no words needed.  

still waiting for new machine belt....holiday and heat have delayed delivery so it's dargate baskets on my current plate.  finished applique blocks piling up...all these plus what's on design wall...56 to go!

got all the album blocks done before the machine issue so today's task is to square them up and cut sashing strips.  pair of winter pjs need to be cut out as well.  

lotsa free time to surf quilty stuff brought this WHIMM (work hidden in my mind) to the forefront....kaffe fassett crossed canoes.

don't these colorful blocks just make you swoon?  they do me for sure....thanks to jinny beyer for the free pattern to download...just happen to have shoebox full of kaffe scraps plus what's on the shelf....added to the list!

finalized my plan for liberty fabrics and got my teacup pattern ready...

looks funky due to the fold and angle of camera...needs a bit of fine tuning

inbetween sewing fun, reading this series....Inspector Lynley


i've read a few of her more recent books but went back and started at the beginning of the series..this is book 6 so will keep me occupied thru the summer....i miss going to the library and just wandering around.  between work and weather, my occasional chauffeur has been delayed....food pantry trips gone along with the subaru but so far God has provided...

sticking to simple menus but TV pizza ads driving me nuts so early this morning, made my own....no salt dough, no salt sauce, only a bit in the cheese with vegs on top...mmm delish!

that's all from this lake woebegone!  gosh i sure do miss prairie home companion saturday nights---thank goodness for youtube!

  1. I love the crossed canoes. That would be a great quilt to make up in your Kaffe scrap's. I know what you mean about the pizza ads. I'm craving a Dominos New York Style pizza and I don't even know if I like New York Style pizza.
