ode to summer

 

The days go by too quickly...

but I'm always glad to see fall getting a little closer.

I started embroidering this baby quilt

when daughter knit and pearl announced it looked

like it might be a boy.

 

 

Then she announced it may be a girl.

So I put it away until I knew

which direction to go infor colors.

The closer I got to finishing it

I told myself it could be for used for a boy or girl.

 

 

I used an Aunt Martha transfer pattern

with two extra squares to even out the sides and bottom.

I had to write my own pattern to adjust for the center panel.

I machine quilted it.

 

 

A cute little bunny watched as I photographed the quilt outdoors.

eyes of the LORD."

Grandpa's laundry basket is the answer...

 

 

It's looking like another corker here today.

Fore

Mr. b was clueless when he let us three girls

 tag along for a round of golf with him.

 

 

We drove his cart and basically just enjoyed

 the beautiful course and fresh air.

 

 

We all agreed that we had enjoyed ourselves.

A break

I will be away from my little sewing sweatshop

 for the coming week...

 

 

A break from the routine

 is always welcome and necessary.

fall

August 1 is always license to begin thinking about fall...

 

 

A table runner is the perfect small project

to practice free motion quilting.
