Life has been full speed for me lately and I could use the lazy day pace of Summer right about now. I'm going to make a picture heavy post of what I've finished up, made progress on and started new (yes - I do confess). Captions under each in place of a real blog post is about all I can manage!

| Two 15" blocks for the Heather Ross/Harts auction quilt our MQG is making |
 |
| Got my ticket to attend - I plan to bid and win! |

| Mega Large beach tote - birthday gift and big hit |
 |
| Pattern for my nephew's 21st Bday quilt instead of Japanese Jigsaw |
 |
| Having our Guild meeting at Hart's Fabric = no restraint |
There are so many new fabric lines releasing I'm trying to be good - but probably won't be!
 |
| FMQ wonky/random scallops |
My other son's girlfriend made her dad a quilt for Father's Day, all designed and sewn on her own but I offered to FMQ some detail since it's her very first and quite huge 64"x80". Just got around to it late last night and am taking it to her this morning so she can bind it- nothing like the last minute!
Almost forgot to mention: it's voting time at Art Gallery and my friend Kelly has an awesome chair entry for the
Home Decor challenge category, so go re-pin and like it!

Finish it Up Friday with Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts.
So there you have it -in a nut shell. How about you?
Wolves your sons skateboard! What a talented family. Where did you get that labyrinth walk pattern? It is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHis talent has amazed me since he was a little kid, thanks.
DeleteNo wonder you're tired - that's a pretty amazing list of finishes! Love your son's skateboard design. Love the labyrinth walk pattern - same question for me - is that a magazine or book that you photographed? Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is from the April/May 2012 issue of Quilt and designed by Emily Florence and Emily Sirkin. My sister found it and thought it had just the right look for her sons quilt.
DeleteI am always impressed with your quilting prolific-ness! How do you get so much done?!
ReplyDeleteSadly I'll be out of town for the benefit, but I'm buying raffle tickets!
(Thanks for the compliment on my chair!)
You have been busy busy! Keep on creating as I love to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteLove the scallop quilting. Fabulous stuff.
ReplyDeleteI have to say the Tiger is amazing... your son is very talented.
ReplyDeleteYour son did an amazing job on that skateboard design! Good for him for donating it:)
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt you are doing for your nephew as it has a some really great dimension to it!
How neat to have another quilting friend that happens to be your son's girlfriend.
Wow--but you do get a lot done!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the Mary Mashuta block. Sounds like she has a new book out that I need to get--thanks for the info. And kudos to your son on his artful skateboard deck.
