Pavement Blocks is all layered and
ready for pin basting...
Just getting that backing and
batting to size and laying it out really
exhausted me!!
👀👺👀
It's the bending over, I think!!
Before i can even think of machine quilting
this one or sewing anything else,
I have to clean HELGA!
It's been 7 months since I did;
she was stuttering along on my
final backing seam line--just
just made it before she really
clacked at me!!
👿
Hope to get to that tomorrow as my
back has had enough
bendy-bendying...
;)))

Here is my beautiful beautiful
lavender that never disappoints
me! Every season it blooms and
the bumblebees just love it
I was hoping to capture a bumblebee, but when I approached
they all staggered away in their
drunken flight laden with my lavender's nectar...
This color is SO intense--I can't seem to catch it on
my phone's camera...but it is just amazing!!
Mother Nature at her best...
***************************
Jeff took the girls-- Willa (L) and
Fiona (R)-- to Fenway Park
to catch a game.
[Aren't they growing up fast??]
They do this every year
when school gets out...
I do love my girls and their
Dad and Mom, too.
Willa is now enrolled in
horseback riding camp and
can now canter....
I hope to get pix of that!!
💜💙💖💕💝💞

Our "feel like" temp right now is
99 degrees--talk about
humid and sultry and muggy
and close and, and...can I
come up with any other words
that describe why we are
staying in our AC today???
I hope you are enjoying what your
day brings to you, life is
so short and goes by so
quickly..
grab that golden
ring and keep it in
your heart...
hugs, Julierose

Reading "Lake of Sorrows" by Erin Hart--this is a re-read.
ReplyDeleteI often read books more than once when I really love
the writing...do you?
Pavement Blocks look great.
ReplyDeleteThe heat is pretty stifling here too.
I try yo get as much as I can done before lunch.
Lovely Pavement Blocks! Take care with your back! Oh what beautiful lavender. Fenway... ahh we used to take our children to games there, special memories.
ReplyDeleteThat's going to make a lovely tabletopper, Julierose! I really love the colors you put together in it. Basting those layers together is a big job! Happy family there - a ballgame is always a fun destination!
ReplyDeleteI like your choice of border fabric. A little each day and soon it will be done.
ReplyDeleteI think blue and lavender/purple flowers are the hardest to get an accurate photograph of.
The pavement table topper looks great. I'm sure Helga will appreciate some attention if it has been that long.
ReplyDeleteLove the lavender!
I really do like that colour combination - reminds me of a field of flowers. I love lavender but can't be near it because it upsets my allergies.
ReplyDeleteIt's been hot here too but luckily the humidity level hasn't been too bad.
Lovely in many ways: the table topper, the lavender, and the grands!
ReplyDeletePleasantly un-humid here today. I mowed the lawn this morning and didn't break a sweat!
Great job getting Pavement quilt layered and ready for pinning. You are getting close to a finish on this pretty quilt. The girls are growing so fast and looking adorable in their baseball caps.
ReplyDeleteYour Pavement quilt is lovely, those bonbon colors. [not Square in a Square or Economy Patch?]
ReplyDeleteThis is a great year for lavender. Yours is so beautiful.
Lovely family, the girls are so grown up now
99% humidity here yesterday. Oppressive.
I do reread favorite books esp if part of a series like the Erin Harts you're reading.
PS Do you check your comment spam? Some of my comments seem to go lost. No big deal but I do try.

Beautiful lavender!!! And beautiful girls. Sorry your work surface is low and makes your back hurt. Have you considered table risers (akin to bed risers that go under the legs to increase overall height of table).
ReplyDeleteI love your table topper! It really looks great. Your flowers are beautiful. I guess this heat and humidity is good for something! I've been staying indoors when I can. The air is just so heavy out there. I hope you rest your back.
ReplyDeleteI love this little quilt (and the other two in a previous post, too--the peacock fabric is delightful). The colors in this one are so beautiful together.
ReplyDeleteI love lavender, too. If my plant(s) have enough flowers I sometimes make lavender baskets. Do you cut and dry your lavender?
Such beautiful granddaughters.
I hope your temperature, humidity, and dew point have gone down. Around here it's the dew point that exacerbates the heat and humidity. Summer is not my favorite season. :-/
