So one of the things I love to do when I'm not quilting, is to bake. And when summer fruit is in season, why not? So yesterday, I baked. I bought a bunch of peaches on sale and all I could think of was pie.

It came out very nice. And after dinner, we dug in, after adding some vanilla ice cream.
I did do a bit of sewing over the weekend. I was able to get some more of my 36 patch blocks done for the quilt along I am participating in. I did a few yo-yos and then, because I have been wanting one, and I needed some instant gratification I made a mug rug.
Now this flowery fabric I have had for a long time. I am sure I bought it at my local quilt shop, but I have no idea when or who the designer or manufacturer are. I do know I love it and have used it sparingly over the years. I wish I could have a big piece of it, but I am sure I only bought a quarter yard at the time, maybe a fat quarter.

So here is the progress on the quilt along:
I have 5-6 more strip sets cut and ready so soon I will have more. I need 36 blocks to make the size I want. I am having so much fun with this project. I am really taking a walk down memory lane with all the different fabrics I am using. Some I haven't seen an 10 years or more!
A quick update on the yo-yos...I have 147 done! And on the napkins for the wedding project I have 78 done and 19 more to go! I think I might just make it.
Have a great week!
