Sorry I have been missing for the last week. :-/ No, nothing like a fun trip or anything, just the usual busyness and a short trip taking DS2 back to college. It just seemed like getting the camera out was one thing too many on most days. Have you ever had that feeling? Please say yes, I don't want to be known as the only slacker! :-o
I did manage to fit in a little sewing to keep my sanity. ;-)
The Nabby's Dowry blocks from Pam @ Heartspun Quilts. This is such a unique sew-along. We made all the needed HST's at the beginning and each Friday she gives us a block to use them in. Nothing but fun on Friday! :-)
These are the July and August blocks for the BOM at Country Threads. We get the patterns for a small block and large block at the beginning of the month. It is going to be a very cool sampler. I am just lovin' my blocks in my Civil War scraps! :-)
And I've joined a little sew along with the ladies on the HGTV message board. We are working on Bunny Hill's Merry Merry Snowmen pattern. I am doing mine with wools and really like how the blocks are coming together. This is the 7th block. Only 2 to go! :-) I need to get the next one prepped today so I can keep up!
Are you finding it hard to sew in the summer too? I have been spending lots of time in the cottage quilting those tops for my Mom, lots of time in the flower beds, and in between I am trying to rearrange our living room... we use the family room the most, but I want the living room to be useful too, not just a collection of 'stuff'. So I am off to see what I can accomplish today~
Thanks for visiting and
Happy Stitchin'!!

LOVE those scrappy blocks! Makes me want to pull out my scraps but I've gotta quit starting new projects until my UFOs are done :-)
Fabulous BOM!
Your blocks all look great! I love HSTs, but mine don't always come out quite right for some reason! LOL
You have such great blocks here! Really love your Pam Buda blocks!
I really like that Merry Merry Snowman quilt. It's one I'd like to do one day and I almost joined on the board, but knew I wouldn't have the time this summer. I think it looks great in wool and that's the way I'd like to do it too. Wool applique is so nice to work with. I look forward to seeing all of your blocks together!
I like to sew in the Summer because my space is cool. However I don't like to handle quilts to bind in the Summer. Right now I'm binding a flannel quilt. Don't ask why!!!
