I tried to post this earlier today, but Blogger wouldn't let me upload my photos. Grr. Did errands and had a drink with a friend. (Peach iced tea at Dunkin'- yum!) Hope you're enjoying a lovely summer day, too!
Start & Finish:
Camera Strap for the new camera. Not too girly so the boys can use it, too. Assuming Julia and I ever put the camera down long enough for one of them to use it!
New Projects:
4 X 5 Modern Quilt Bee- I'm glad I joined this bee, but what was I thinking? That darn peer pressure! All the cool quilting bloggers are doing it! Here's my Pink & Orange inspiration mosaic for the bee. (If you click on it, you will be taken to Flickr, where you can get the links for each photo.)
Teeny Weeny PP Bee- These paper piecers are my peeps! How did it take six months for me to find them? I signed up to make 4 blocks in July and asked for 6" star blocks in return. I went with the same colors as the 4x5 so I wouldn't have to stress over choosing another color combo!
Ongoing:
Nonna's Garden- Making progress! All the corners are pieced but need to be attached. Then I need to find a darker green to border the whole thing.
Kaleidoscope Quilt Along- All cut and ready to sew. I did sew one block to see if I liked it. I do!
Wedding Ring Star- no progress, but I did move the bin to a more prominent shelf. My mother asked me why I am not working on it. I don't have a good answer for that. It takes too much effort to keep the pieces in the right order? I have to think too much? I'm afraid I'll mess it up? I know I need to bite the bullet and work on it soon. I do own a couple of seam rippers, after all, and I have successfully completed this pattern before! This really needs to be my top priority for the rest of the summer.
Girl Scout Quilt- no progress. Today is officially the first day of summer vacation (I know- finally!), so I need to invite some girls to come over and work on their blocks.
