Happy August!
This has been the fastest summer e.v.e.r. for me! It seems like I am always on the go!
How about you?
August came in with a bang! I have finished 5 pattern tests already!
All I can say about them for now is cute. cute. cute. :-) I am already using one item.
And another is going to be delivered on Saturday.
That one is a baby quilt! This soon to be released pattern is called 'Addition' by Erica of Kitchen Table Quilting
Here is a little peek~
I used flannel, quilting cottons, and minky and I love how soft and cuddly it is! I just quilted it with an allover loopy design to hold the layers together, no batting as it is heavy enough. ;-)
The other 4 I won't be able to reveal until this fall. :-)
I also made 2 mini machine embroidered wall hangings~
Both designs are from the Embroidery Library.
This is the second one I have made of the Lord's Prayer. Unfortunately, my parents have ended up in different care facilities. My Dad requested the first one for his apartment; when my Mom saw it, she wanted one too. ;-) So since she had to wait a bit, she gets both of these.
And I kept my embroidery machine busy making a couple key fobs too. I have made so many of these that I have lost count. :-) The design is from Buggalena.
I am keeping my sewing machine hopping! And I love it!! Especially on these hot, dry days when going outdoors is not too appealing. ;-) Next in my que of projects is a couple more baby items and then I want to catch up on my BOM's. How about you? Is summer keeping you busy too?
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

so sorry that your parents have ended up in different care facilities - how awful, now they can't see each other often and I'm sure it is hard to get back and forth as much for visiting for you.
What lovely gifts for your parents! They will both love them.
Yes, the months are just flying by this year. I can't believe we are already talking about fall and the holidays.
Beautiful quilts and embroidery pieces. Another thing I haven't had time to learn, never used the embroidery features on my machine. I am sorry to hear about your parents, seems unfair that they can't accommodate them both.
