ode to summer

 
The days go by too quickly...
but I'm always glad to see fall getting a little closer.

McKenna Mae

 
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.
 
 
"...Noah found favor in the
eyes of the LORD."

No pool?
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...
 
 
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.
