I've been sorting fabrics in my studio and have started to make up 9 patch blocks. My studio is getting re-organized and I wish that photos were taken for a 'before' and 'after'; but I forgot. The main thing is I can actually walk around and not fall over stuff now. There is nothing like a clean work space for motivation. This quilt got put together fairly quickly and everything (except for backing fabrics) were from my stash. How good that feels to just use up stash!
This lap quilt was made for a dear cousin who is battling cancer. She is a lover of flowers and this quilt looks so serene amongst all the hostas. We are all praying that she pulls through and your thoughts and prayers would be most welcome.
I've been visiting family, doing more genealogy researching and there is a pile of books just waiting for me to read .... and quilting and applique will always caputure my attention during our summer months.
So, until next time we meet .... have fun sewing!

It always amazes me all the things we can do with 'good old 9-patches'. Your quilt is lovely!! I hope it brings comfort to your cousin.

Your photos of the quilts in the garden look lovely. I love a striped binding too, it's the first fabric I audition usually because they work so well. I'd love to have a big clean up in the sewing room, and soon! Something always seems to come up to prevent that.
Oh friend, so good to see you and look at more of your delightful work. The setting for these photos is divine! And yes, most definitely, until next time we meet .... have fun sewing. Much love, *karendianne.
It's really lovely!

I like striped binding! Good job on the quilt and the garden setting is relaxing to see.
