Yesterday, Monday, was a beautiful sunny day so.....
I washed my everyday quilt and hung it out
to dry on our deck. I used 2 color catchers and the
whites came out nice and white and the blues are
back to their colors...
This quilt is 20 years old...and my first attempt at
1/2 square triangles...
As you can see, the pattern
kinda wnet off-road
around the edges...
👀😂😉😏
**********************
Then I have spent the last week quilting
some "Littles"
These four placemats,
be washed frequently;
here is the backing I used on all of them
[courtesy of Wanda--thank you💓😍]
And....
"Pineapple Welcome" borders
done on machine...interior all hand quilted;
Also...
Red Crumbs minimally quilted for a
wall hanging...
and finally....
Flamingo Ojos...
minimally quilted just around the squares...
this will be a gifted table topper...
I have two more prepared "Littles" but
will be taking a bit of a breathing spell
before I begin to work on them...
None of these has been trimmed up as yet;
and they will need bindings made...
I have some other "Littles" waiting to be
layered and backed from long ago to
do next.
I plan to leave the binding
and final sewing
until this Fall...
I will only bind up the placemats
so we can put them
to use this Summer..
😆😇😊
***********************
This morning was food shopping
early on to avoid the predicted
incoming rain storms...
Right now it is 74 with 69 dewpoint--
kinda humid again!!
😒
*********************
Suppertime treat:
Tonight Tom will be making his
spaghetti sauce--this time--
a mix of his own and Rao's--
[Kinda spicey for me, so I will
have herbs and EV Olive Oil on
my noodles ]
along with toasted rolls...
I hope you are enjoying these
fleeting summer days...
it's already half-way through
Summer...
