A few more rows have been done on my circle top. The bottom section is done, but not sewn together yet. There may be some moving around after all the circles are sewn. Also, a few more pieces were added to the borders. This project will see me to the end of cottage season.
My "Red Sampler" is now a top! So thrilled how it turned out. I did take some liberties with the blocks and substituted some of the 6" blocks. Thank you, Lori Holt from Bee In My Bonnet for having this quilt-along.
Our area experienced a bad storm on Tuesday this week. What do you do when the electricity flickers on/off and then goes out for about 3 hrs. and all you have is the natural light from the window to see? Well ..... applique, why not! That is exactly what I did.
Well, I'm not going to wait any longer. All my blocks that I want to do are now done. Any more blocks can go on the backing. There are a few misfits because of fabric chosen and they will be perfect there. Sewing of the rows has commenced and I will be happy to finally have this project as a top and off my design wall.
My sister and I were recently at our family cottage for a few days. The weather had warmed up a tad and the rain finally stopped allowing us to take a trip out. We are extremely grateful for the rain because our area has been quite dry and we were fearful of some forest fires breaking out.
While out there, the hummingbirds kept us entertained by the hour. You can just barely see a tail on the left hand side of the feeder. They come and go so quickly. We have two feeders hanging off our screened in porch and the birds had our heads going back and forth. Too funny!
