Since I got home on Wednesday,
it has been blistery hot.
I've been able to spend a little
time in my sewing room,
which fortunately, is in the
coolest part of the house.
But although I long to be sewing
something on my machine,
I've tried to stay focused on
all of the hand applique I'm currently
working on.
I keep reminding myself
how close these panels are
to being finished.
So instead I appeased myself
Oh, look.
I just created more hand work!

Thank you everyone who took the
time last week to share what projects
you're working on during the summer.
I always have bigger plans than
time will allow, but that's okay too.
Now for the winner of my
"Softly Spoken" fat quarters
designed by Harriet Hargrave
for Marcus Fabrics.
Running Man
randomly selected
#17
Nancy of
The Tattered Garden Quilting.
Thanks again everyone.
Thanks again everyone.
Until Next Time-
Congrats to Nancy, and congrats to you for staying focused!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Nancy! Sometimes it's hard to stay on track isn't it?
ReplyDeleteMust be my lucky day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kyle, I am looking forward to working some of these beautiful fabrics into my Auntie Green quilt.
Your Roseville Album is looking good, a few stitches everyday and before too long you will have this quilt together.
I was studying your fabrics. The squirrel's tail is an interesting choice. Works well.
ReplyDeleteAre you complaining about the heat? I guess you are used to the cool weather in your part of the world.
Congratulations to Nancy. Sewing binding on is a productive distraction, it's such pretty pink binding too. I like hand sewing in summer so I can sit in an air conditioned room.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Nancy! I sure like your fabric choices on your panel! It looks like you are making good progress. It is easy to get distracted with other projects!
ReplyDeleteI just love the colourful birds and squirrels in your border panel - fabulous!! Keep on going Kyle!!
ReplyDeleteLove Harriet's new line - congrats to,your winner Nancy!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your critters willing those naked stems...you'll be done before you know it!
We hot 99 yesterday and had a storm late in the day. Good indoor stitching weather.
