August Minis

I hope you'll agree that 

 our projects and stitching

should bring us pleasure, smiles

and even laughter.

Each month there is a group of bloggers

who have been challenged 

and, hopefully, have found joy in

creating a monthly mini and then 

sharing their creativity with others.

Our blogging friend, Wendy,

the Constant Quilter, has been the

facilitator of this diverse group.

Thank you ,Wendy.  I've appreciated your 

"constant" dedication! 

This month I only have a quilt top.

My attention had been diverted to stitching hst's!

Sunflowers and Sunshine

38" x 38"

Yellow scraps and a pattern

designed by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique

was fun to stitch 

during the last of the summer days.

You can get the free sunflower block

pattern here from Aurifil.

Yes, there were a few more

half square triangles to make,

but that yellow fabric 

was just so happy to play with. 

The four blocks went together quickly.

The striped border fabric had been used

in my daughter's first grade classroom 

as shelf drape.

Now it was happily being 

 used once again.

My fence line-up for this month had to be called

Sunflowers and Sunshine.

Here's a closer look at the middle quilt.

From where you're looking, it doesn't seem 

to fit the theme, but

 the border fabric was its ticket

to join in on the fence parade.

Also wanted to give you all an update on the free

"Oh, Say Can You Sew" mystery quilt

generously designed by Lisa Bongean.

The stack of 128 blocks

is ready and waiting 

for clue #6.

Until Next Time-
