our respite from horrid heat is over and we are back into it, at least for a few days....but that means more sewing maybe? the to-do list for the week is ready. the week got started with half hour of fitness, which felt really good--or it will tomorrow...LOL! it's been far too long since i've done that much at one time but hoping it'll happen more often. will make me happy and my improved heart as well...
racked up a little finish....
this got made in january when i was busting my solid scraps...now it's fully done...hand quilted with a lavender thread....be still my amish heart....just exactly the type of quilt i love.
these got put on the design wall next....
the applique blocks are done and this obviously needs more work...and no, not making anymore blocks whatsoever...
the best news from the weekend??? the dargate baskets are DONE! yes, and ahead of schedule too....now getting put aside as i'm totally tired of looking at them...
and more quilting got done on 'tuscan starburst'....hoping for a september finish, and maybe the batik baskets also.
more ho-hum days as i slide into 75 years...no card from mom of course, which is heart wrenching, but so many do not have their mothers until this age so in that respect i was totally blessed...and no beach vacation either...no daytrips to interesting places either...have to work double hard to find any joy in the face of so many stressors so far this year....guess i'll just keep calm and sew on!
Love your little Amish quilt. I should try to use up some of my solid scraps similarly. I like the second quilt you showed,three more stars and it will be a great finish too!

ReplyDeleteThe applique leaves and the stars go so well together! Good to hear that your longtime Dargate quilt is finished. How big are the squares in the Amish quilt?
